Set in a fantasy world of winged races and social castes, Providence harkens back to the basics of good versus evil. Player characters are encouraged to take the roles of righteous heroes who believe that sacrifice and idealism can change their corrupt world. Because of its emphasis on scrupulous behavior, Providence is something of an oddity as it counters the attitude and nihilism of its contemporaries.PCs have the choice of being either one of the winged races of noble blood, a "glider" who rides the wind currents by using membranes that line the sides of the body, or the Fallen--wingless and disgraced members of society who scrounge for survival below the clouds. Aside from winged flight, superpowers run the gamut of traditional abilities from energy blasts to magic spells, though only a select few can wield these powers. Altogether, Providence offers a compelling game world that brings the fascination back to being a hero (albeit with super powers) rather than a "superhero." If you missed this role-playing game the first time around, Providence was republished in 2001 by Hubris Games ---- I have this game, along with a couple supplements for it. THere were actually a lot of support books for the main book itself, though I only picked up the 'hero team' book. It's probably the only superhero/fantasy game I've ever seen.</blockquote>
