Empire City is home to the famed Caldorian Explorers Society, which has its headquarters at the top of the Empire Trust Building. Emerging onto the world scene now is villainy that has its hands in the future. New technology is appearing and what was once considered science fiction is beginning to become reality. Gadgets supplement a hero's inventory.
Do not confuse the term "Hero" for someone with super powers. The heroes of this age are normal people doing heroic feats out of love and loyalty to their beloved United Republic of America and their E.U.R.O.P.A. allies. When someone tries to destroy the world through their own dominating ideas, it will be you and your friends who will stand in their way.
This is a world of the pulp-hero, but with a twist. Robots and ray guns are not imaginative toys, they are real weapons that confront the world daily. So grab your jet-pack, "Typewriter" machine gun and buckle up for a ride down an alternate reality in the world that we call "Hardened Heroes."
Powered by the Realistic Advanced Roleplaying Engine (RARE System) used by Broken Swords & Battered Shields, this all-in-one book provides a flexible system and an immersive world that allows Narrators and players to dive in without any extra supplementary books.
