Nova City Heroes Quickstart and Campaign by The Arcverse
The city is forgetting.
Three months after the Vanishing, Nova City is grieving harder than any city ever has. The Emergency Authority promises order. Rylar sells relief from the pain. On every screen, a voice called Mirror asks the city who it really is. And under Nova High, doors have started to open.
Something has come through them. It is hungry, it is patient, and it is kind. It offers everyone the thing they want most, the people they lost, home again, and asks only that they forget what it cost.
Nova City Heroes: Requiem is a six-issue campaign for First Light: street fights, public dilemmas and quiet vigils, from the Vanishing Hearings to the night the whole city decides what it is willing to remember.
What you need to play: Just this book. Requiem includes a Quickstart and ready-made heroes, and every rule works without cards. Own First Light? Your heroes and your community carry straight over.
Inside this book:
- Six issues (#3 to #8), each built around one of the vanished heroes, with a headline threat, a fight you can win and a choice that divides the table.
- The Months Between: a lighter session after each issue for ordinary lives, subplots and grief, with a City Table and a backstop for any clue the table missed.
- The Ledger: every Witness, every promise and every person the heroes saved, written down. In the finale, it’s how the city fights back.
- The Hidden Book: the whole truth for the GM, and the Revelation cards that keep the mystery on track.
- A full cast and foe list, eight pregenerated heroes, a Quickstart, an index, and an 11-page handouts file.
- Plays with or without the Rising Deck.
- Run Issue #3 This Weekend: a 4-page GM kit that gets you from download to your first two sessions.
- A spoiler-free Player Pack: a 4-page invitation to send to your group.
Remember them. Someone has to.
Plays on its own with the Quickstart inside, and goes further with Nova City Heroes: First Light. Illustrated with AI-assisted art, curated and corrected by hand.
Requiem is available through DriveThruRPG in PDF.
