New Era is a modern fantasy RPG set in the distant future of Earth. A society drastically altered by climate change and nuclear war now lives in the planet's polar regions, where explorers have begun to uncover relics of long-lost ancient societies. As history is rewritten overnight, thousands of explorers and scientists flock to the young country of Ætheria for a better look at the ancient ruins, but there's more than just ruins hidden beneath the ice.
Become explorers and delve into the mysterious ruins of Ætheria in search of answers to the many strange happenings across the country and the world.
New Era uses mRPG 3.0, a fully standalone game system developed from the ground up for simplicity, intuitiveness, ease of understanding for new players, and compatibility with any RPG setting. The full mRPG and New Era rules documents are available online, free of charge.
