Cast against a backdrop of colonialism and plagued by all-to-familiar modern social ills, it nonetheless possessed a spirit of innocence, exploration, and adventure. PCs play larger-than-life personalities making world-changing discoveries with the understanding that they could change life for the better. They investigate horrific crimes, stop daring robberies, meet literary and historical figures, and uncover the truth behind the supernatural and occult.

Thanks for the info on Hero. The Hero System sourcebooks are traditionally some of the best products for a genre or type of play out there, regardless of rules. I hadn't heard of this one at all.
Thanks, this has a lot of info on the time. I like research and really dug into the literature and the historical records to get the mood down. If you like Hero Games stuff, I am currently updating and expanding the classic setting Justice Inc. It is time those domino masked crimefighters of the 1930's to take the spotlight again. Piles of historical stuff will be in that as well
