The City of Heroes Roleplaying Game, or "CoH RPG" for short, is a role-playing game developed by Eden Studios based on Cryptic Studios' MMORPG City of Heroes. Development of the game was announced March 2005. The basic CoH RPG game was written and designed by M. Alexander Jurkat with additional material by Jack Emmert and Sean Fish. The game uses a role-playing game system written by C.J. Carella called the Universal Mission Simulation System (Unisystem).
Players create and role-play superheroes in the Paragon City setting, the titular City of Heroes from the computer game. Many enemies from the computer game are translated into Unisystem characters, such as Dr. Vahzilok and the Circle of Thorns.
An official free downloadable preview of the game containing a sample adventure, characters and basic rules is also available.
As of June, 2006, a company press release on their official web site announced that the Registration Manual and Monitor's Support Pack (the two main rulebooks for the game) were nearing completion and getting ready to go to press, however, tight financials at Eden Studios meant the game would not see print until 2007.
