Herculean Awakening

The Herculeans have Awakened! We are not sure when the change truly began, or to whom we owe the debt, but in Florence, Italy near the year of our Lord 1295, a man rose up and challenged the assumption of evil. He was of the Medici Family, and they spent the next 100 years defending (and financially backing) Herculean men and women in Florence. Virgil, as we knew him, fought for their right to exist (until his death in 1353).

They exist in our world, posing as simple men and women, working common jobs, never looking for trouble. But, when the time comes, and trouble seeks them out, they will stand! This is, after all, Florence! The years 1300 – 1600, the Renaissance!

This is the newest setting for 218 Games!, and the start of our 1d8-2.0 system. We have updated rules for streamlined creation, Restructured Combat for a faster pace, reworked the skills and Checks to better suit role-play, and cut the proverbial fat from the rules. In essence, this system will set you up for grand adventure!

Herculean Awakening is set in Florence, Italy at any point in the Renaissance you choose (between 1300 and 1600). You are playing Super Hero style characters, complete with powers tht jump strait from the comics.

You will choose and Archetype of Hero, and build it to a powerhouse! This classless system will allow each character to grow through experience at the pace you set. Our point buy build, and experience spending growth make this possible.

Be a Ronin powerless hero that stalks the night, an Aberrant hero born with power, maybe a Construct formed in a lab, a Beast that has become more human, or split your powers between two personalities as a Hyde!
