Transcendence

     This is an archive of the Transcendence RPG, by George Chatzipetros, as released over the web in 1999 and 2001. It is a dark fantasy RPG set in a close parallel to Europe in the Dark Ages. PC's are the "Awakened": heroes put to sleep ages ago by the gods and now returning as spirit-like entities. They have various factions, and all have "Dream Powers". The original files for the first two editions are made available here for the curious. The first edition uses its own system. The second edition uses a version of the homebrew Nova System. The third (current) edition uses WotC's d20 system. For information on the author's current work, see the Dark Dreams website.
