We have been working on #UrbanHeroes first version 10 years ago; we decided to try it on the italian RpG market 2 years ago and we got a very good feedback (even though, due to the italian political-economical situation, no editor is now investing money in anything new in our country); we are now introducing our game to the worldwide market along with all our development projects which include a vast number of expansions, comics, narrative books and a geolocalizing app that will let you play online and help during your gaming sessions!
We have a lot more to say and we now rely on you.
