The RPG is known for its very detailed character building system, the (weirdly easy to understand) logarithmic growth and the Ascendant Universe which this page is named for. It is published by Autarch and is available on DrivethruRPG.

The comic books are written by Alexander Macris and are drawn by a full team of female BIPOC artists. They have a huge amount of latex wearing, barely and completely unclad characters, all of whom are ridiculously ripped.
