In my last couple of posts I have mentioned Rally Cry in great detail, but never specifically detailed what it is. It is, at its bones, a RPG setting based in the Iron Age of Comics. During that age the heroes were dark and grim, the villians were often misunderstood anti-heroes, and even the world itself was darker than our own. I fell in love with that age of comics when I was in High School and it has stuck with me ever since.
Rally Cry details the world of the enar future with a several twists. The main one of course being the addition of super-human characters, or extraordinaries as they are known by. Much of history is the same as ours, but the impact of these greater-than-human people have deffinatly left their mark. The most notable example of this is the destruction of so much of Washington DC as well as New York City at the hands of a vastly powerful extraordinary named Carnal.
There are aliens and lost civilizations as well as all manner of technological advances. Mankind has made it as far as the mars, and there are several moon-bases where man is thriving. It is only a matter of time before the species makes it into space.
The primary setting I plan to release will include a general layout of the world, heavy details of the ruins of New York, as well as a number of important extraordinaries. After that I already have notes for another fleshed out city and a massive alien invasion. It is moving along well and I am actually happy where things are going and have been for a while now. A nice revelation for me in the long run.
