Wearing a Cape Has Never Been So Dangerous!
#UrbanHeroes is a gritty, superpunk tabletop roleplaying game about superheroes, conspiracy theories, physics, and the contemporary pop culture.
In a ghastly pyrotechnic moment, the world as we knew it was no more. In 2008, an explosion of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN left a huge hole on the European landscape and spread radiations through a world already burdened under a global financial crisis and numerous armed conflicts. This hitherto unknown Z-radiation catalyzed arrival of H.E.R.O.es (Humans Exposed to Radioactive Operations).
These "human singularities", these anarchist demigod, are the new step of humankind and the center of a war between invisible power behind the media and the appearance of a post-pop world.
