History TabletopGame / NewHorizon

[[http://www.newhorizon1.com/index.php New Horizon]] is a tabletop RPG set in the future on an alien planet with a wide frontier. Players take the role of random people from all walks of life who just happen to get caught up in whatever adventure the GM creates. The RPG utilizes the [[PointBuildSystem VOLT system,]] built around two [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience twenty-sided dice]] and swift, decisive skill checks. As a bonus, the starter's guide is available in a free-to-read PDF, and excerpts from the other manuals are also available as previews.

* SexBot: Aesir females were once nothing more than toys for wealthy men. Now that they have beem emancipated, they marry them and take all their money the old fashioned way; divorce.

* {{Animorphism}}: Medeans.

* ChunkySalsaRule

* DamageReduction

* HollywoodCyborg: Prometheans.

* NonPlayerCharacter:
* [[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame Our Jotuns Are All The Same]]: While the Jotuns are the largest race on NH, and can be as twice as tall as a human if not bigger. Otherwise, they fit this trope to the T.

* [[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Ridiculously Human]] [[InsistentTerminology Wafans]]: The rulebook goes out of its way to point out that Wafans are people, not robots, [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman because clearly robots cannot be people.]]
** To clarify: While they technically fit the trope, being called a robot is an insult to Wafans. WordOfGod states this is primarily due to hardware differences and is about equivalent to a human being called an animal.

* [[FiveRaces Six Races]]: Jotun Wafans are stout, the Medeans are fairy, Olympians are eugenically improved humans, either Prometheans or Vanir Wafans are High Men, and the Aesir Wafans are cute. Of course these are all more like guidelines anyway...
* Sourcebook: The RPG books and the Compendium

* [[RoboSexual Wafan sexual]]: Wafans come fully equipped, even the Jotuns. The latter is the subject of many speculative school girl glances.
* [[RobotGirl Wafan girl]]: Wafans have genders, so there are male and female versions.

* WhatMeasureIsANonhuman: The [[UglyCute Faenorr]] are the result of splicing human DNA into native ratmolethings. They're pretty much described as gremlins, and treated as trainable pets at best.
** Also, the Medeans organize their hierarchy around how "human" they look. So yeah...

* Courier: Since telecommunications and heavy transport technology is expensive, only larger towns and maybe the outlaying areas have access to it. Thus the need for people to transport it by foot. Also, this is a background that characters can have, granting movement bonuses for tough terrains and the skills to operate some transports.

* UnderTheSea: With Wafans, Cyborgs, and Medeans all able to take traits to breath and fight under the water, and there are plenty of monsters and treasure under the oceans. Olympian humans however have to find some workaround.

* ''Courier'': Since telecommunications and heavy transport technology is expensive, only larger towns and maybe the outlaying areas have access to it. Thus the need for people to transport it by foot. Also, this is a background that characters can have, granting movement bonuses for tough terrains and the skills to operate some transports.

The RPG utilizes the [[PointBuildSystem VOLT system,]] built around two [[ColorCodedForYourConvenience twenty-sided dice]] and swift, decisive skill checks. While only recently developed, it still manages to be entertaining and intriguing, allowing for all manner of quests and providing a rich but not constraining backstory.
