The Universe Needs Heroes! New DC Justice League Unlimited TTRPG Announced

Brazillian publisher D20Culture have announced an all-new superhero tabletop roleplaying game from the pages of DC Comics. Justice League Unlimited allows you to play icons of the DC Universe such as Batman, Wonder Woman or Superman, or to create your own characters to fight alongside them.

The game is set in a universe influenced by Amanda Waller’s actions in the DC comic series Absolute Power. After a a series of battles, the Justice League transformed, becoming an “Unlimited” version. Operating from a new satellite called the Watchtower, the organisation now welcomes all heroes from around the world.

The design and writing team features DC writer Mark Waid (The Flash, JLA Year One, Superman: Birthright) who is also acting as the games creative consultant. The game uses a brand new system with the d20 at it’s core, although also utilises the d6, d8, and d12 (apparently no love for the d4 or d10 in this game) and you can create your own characters using Ascension Points (PAX) which allow you to customise your Attributes (Potency, Accuracy, Agility, Resistance, Spirit and Mind) and purchase your powers. Characters will receive PAX at the end of each game session, which they can use to acquire new Knowledge, Traits, Powers or increase your Attributes.

A free Quickstart is currently available on DriveThruRPG that includes the rules and character creation, as well as an introductory scenario, “Lines of Defense” which sees Metropolis under siege by Cyborg Superman (Hank Henshaw) and an army of Eradicators. Whilst the primary Justic League engage Henshaw, the players rookie heroes try to contain the chaos as well as stop any other villains deciding to take advantage of the situation.

You can also sign up to the DC Justice League Unlimited Roleplaying GameGamefound page to stay up to date with information leading up to the crowdfunding campaigns launch later this year.

It’s time to join the world’s greatest superhero team and save the DC Universe!
