The Underground

A dark-future superhero RPG¸ set in 2020 where the superpowered veterans of past wars are abandoned and oppressed by a corrupt U.S. government. The system is based onDC Heroes. Character creation is point-based¸ spending government money on super-soldier aspects: including genetic surgery (i.e. superpowers)¸ recruitment (i.e. attributes/skills)¸ cash (i.e. equipment)¸ and reconditioning (i.e. curing power induced stress). There are random aspects to superpowers and reconditioning. The system also includes strategic-level mechanics of dealing with the community's problems such as corruption and safety -- which are numerically rated¸ and can be affected by PCs. - A description from https://darkshire.net/jhkim/rpg/encyclopedia/ with kind permission of John H.
