ANNOUNCEMENT:

A New Dawn for Superhero Storytelling From Chimaera Australia

For years, Earth 502-J has stood as a beacon of bold storytelling—an alternate Freedomverse where heroes are tested not just by power, but by purpose. Now, the world you knew is rising anew.

 

Introducing the "Virtue Forged" Imprint

Virtue Forged from Passion and Pain — Arete dia Pathos

Chimaera Australia proudly unveils Virtue Forged, a new brand imprint dedicated to deepening the emotional resonance and dramatic stakes of superhero roleplaying. This is more than a new label—it's a philosophy. Virtue is not given. It is forged.

Under this new banner, we are re-releasing all eight existing Earth 502-J titles, now fully aligned with the Virtue Forged vision. These stories remain vital, but they are now part of something greater.

 

Welcome to the Resurgam Universe

"I will rise again."

Earth 502-J is no longer the whole story—it is a world within a vast, interconnected multiverse: the Resurgam Universe. This new campaign setting, launching soon for the Mutants & Masterminds TTRPG, expands the scope of heroism, tragedy, and triumph. It is a universe where every choice matters, and every hero must rise from the ashes of their own trials.

 

Continuing Our Partnership with Green Ronin Publishing

This evolution is made possible through our ongoing partnership with Green Ronin Publishing, whose Mutants & Masterminds system continues to empower our storytelling. Virtue Forged is a fully licensed expansion of the Freedomverse, and every product is crafted with the same care, depth, and respect for the source material that fans have come to expect.

 

Coming Soon:

  • Virtue Forged: Core Rules Supplement – New mechanics for emotional stakes, moral dilemmas, and heroic transformation.
  • Virtue Forged: Resurgam Universe Setting Guide – A sweeping campaign setting that redefines what it means to be a hero.
  • Reissued Earth 502-J Titles – Refreshed, rebranded, and ready to inspire a new generation of players.

 

Heroes are not born. They are broken, tested, and remade.This is Virtue Forged. This is Resurgam. This is your story.
