"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal

Brave New World (1999) - second copy

From the web:

Brave New World is a role-playing game originally released by Pinnacle Entertainment Group in 1999. The game was later sold to Alderac Entertainment Group in 2000. The game is an alternate history superhero game set in a fascist United States of America living in a perpetual state of martial law since the 1960s. Inspired by the Kingdom Come and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns comic storylines, X-Men, Nineteen Eighty-Four, and the political and social upheavals of the 1990's, the game depicts renegade superheroes fighting a corrupt and evil government.

"Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what your country could do TO you." That's life in Brave New World--at least if you're part of the Defiance, a loosely organized band of superpowered freedom fighters that's America's last, best hope for restoring democracy to the battered country once and for all. The game features 64 pages of full-color artwork, and a Brave New World mini-comic penciled by Kevin Sharpe.
