This book was made while living on and traveling
across Land and Country belonging to many Indigenous Communities.
 I wrote most of this text while visiting Whadjak Noongar Country.
I offer my respect to their People, their Elders, and their sovereign Land.

New Heaven.
The biotech capital of the sol system. 
Gateway to Jupiter's exploited frontier.

At the heart of it all is a secret, controlled by the Authority.
A secret they used to build an empire. 
To build you.
A biotech miracle, the syntheses of human and angel DNA.

6 months ago you and your clone siblings escaped
from the lab where the Authority raised you.
You’ve found family in the streets of New Heaven. Found a home.
A place where you are more than the weapon they made you.

The Authority wants you back. You can't let that happen.

"New Heaven , the Gateway to Jupiter, is a twisted knot of metal, glass and space rock -- wealthy, sprawling, dominated by condensation."

Make Our Own Heaven is a tabletop roleplaying game, for one Facilitator and any number of Angel Players.

The Angel Players take on the role of hybridised human angel clones.
Raised from birth as experimental bioweapons, an trained to be tools for the Authority (the corporate rulers of Jov.) On the run in Jupiter's biggest city you'll need more than Skill and Divine Power to survive. 

This is a game about community building, found family, and meaningful resistance.

"You were soldier, spy and thief all in one, not to mention your powers.
How they ever expected to keep you prisoner is fucking beyond me."

Inspired by the tv shows Dark Angel, B: The Beginning, and The Expanse. As well as real world activist and community groups in my home town and around the world.
This isn't a game about being a superhero fighting for vengeance.
This is a game about using the gifts you have to help the people you depend on, and who depend on you. It's a Slice of Life power fantasy. 

"The Authority didn't build New Heaven, the people of Jupiter did."

Your power comes from your connection to the people around you, which is reflected in the mechanics of the game. In order to overcome obstacles you'll need to expend energy using your skills and powers. Trying to apply them in creative ways. They more you invoke that power, the more you drain it. The only way to refresh that lost energy? Not by resting, but by helping your community.

Through play you'll learn more about your Angelic nature, and where your power comes from. Explore the districts of New Heaven. An help your community achieve their goals. Build Alliances and friends ships, and embarrass or disgrace your enemies.
