The department has a long history of excellent performance. This setting features Department Q, originally created in 1940 to combat the rise in occult warfare by the Nazis. Absalom’s world is not one for the faint hearted. They will also face down rogue factions from all quarters, incredible supernatural enemies, and sanity blasting Old Gods. Player Characters can join Harry’s team or head up a section of their own, and they will face the denizens of Hell who would like nothing better than to shatter the Accord and bring chaos to Earth. There are magical powers, possession, supernatural forces, demons, and rogue entities of all kinds present for the Crown’s special police to deal with. It is a dark setting, with the forces of the supernatural arrayed against the special team charged with keeping the terms of the Accord intact. The Accord is a treaty drawn up between the British Crown and Hell, so Absalom is kept busy… The world of Absalom is a spin-off from Cabalistics, Inc, the setting in which Harry first appeared. Twenty-first century London is patrolled by the likes of Harry Absalom and his colleagues, part of a team who police the terms of the Accord. You might die, as many have before you, but you might also make a name for yourself, one worthy to place alongside Dredd’s. It’s time for you and your friends to earn your badges, take up your Lawgivers, and bring justice to the city. While he always gets his man, Dredd is but one man and with the constant unrest and upheaval making the city a dangerous place, there’s always a need for fresh recruits to join the fight. A dour, humorless man, utterly committed to punishing lawbreakers and keeping the peace, he has squared off against some of the most notorious criminals to have terrorized his city. Of all the Judges enforcing the law in Mega-City One, the most feared and respected is Judge Dredd. Easily recognized by their distinctive helmets and uniforms, Judges cut distinctive figures in Mega-City One, evoking fear, favor, and hatred in equal measure from the people they would protect. No simple cops, Judges have complete power to enforce the law by any means they deem necessary, sentencing and convicting any criminals they catch, even executing them when necessary.
Mega-City One’s size and sprawl makes enforcing law and order difficult, and so the city employs special law enforcement agents called Judges to patrol the city and police its streets.
The most important mega-city, and the primary setting for the Judge Dredd stories, is Mega-City One. Civilization now huddles in vast mega-cities, conurbations encompassing massive stretches of land. After a series of disastrous global wars, much of the planet has been reduced to a radioactive wasteland, vast stretches of which are uninhabitable, both from the radiation and the mutated horrors that make their home in the Cursed Earth.
