ALL RIGHTS The Beyond Heroes Role Playing Game RESERVED. is based on a heavily revised derivative version of the rules system from Advanced Dungeons and Dragons 2nd edition. It also makes extensive use of the optional point buying system as presented in the AD&D Player’s Option Skills and Powers book. My primary goal was to make this system usable in any setting, from fantasy to pulp to superhero to science fiction. The DC Universe is filled with many strange and myriad worlds, upon which dwell an amazing variety of intelligent life forms. Some of these life forms are benevolent, while many others are hostile. To give a complete listing of all the alien worlds that have appearedover the years would require several volumes the size of this book, so this chapter is limited to those worlds that have appeared many times and played a maJor role in the destinies of Earth’s heroes. From the dawn of history, the DC Universe has been shaped by the presence of extraterrestrial beings. The multiverse was spawned by Krona, the renegade Oan, while his brother Guardians dedicated their existence to repairing the damage caused by his forbidden experiments, leading to the creation of the noble Green Lantern Corps. The rulers of Ancient Egypt, Pharoah Khufu and Princess Chay-Ara, found their lives forever altered by the Thanagarian Nth-Metal.
