Tabletop games publisher D20 Culture and Warner Bros. Discovery Global Consumer Products has launched the crowdfunding campaign for Justice League Unlimited: The Roleplaying Game is now live on Gamefound. Co-authored by legendary DC writer Mark Waid, the tabletop RPG marks the first officially licensed Justice League RPG in almost two decades and introduces two brand-new canon DC supervillains created exclusively for the game by Waid himself.
The new Super-Villains, Pasquinade and Chernobog, bring entirely original threats into the DC Universe. Pasquinade is a reality-warping god of satire and mockery capable of reshaping the world to fit his twisted ideals, while Chernobog is a cosmic embodiment of darkness and entropy powerful enough to threaten even Superman himself.

Mark Waid, co-author of the project and long-time DC comic writer said: “When I created Pasquinade and Chernobog, I wanted villains who would challenge heroes in ways that couldn’t be solved by simply throwing a punch. They’re threats that demand teamwork, difficult choices and ingenuity. Which makes them especially exciting in a roleplaying game. Whether players are creating their own heroes or taking on the role of iconic DC characters, these villains will push them to think creatively, work together and discover what truly makes a hero. That’s the heart of Justice League Unlimited”.
Peterson Rodrigues, CEO at D20 Culture added: “That spirit of teamwork and imagination is at the heart of everything we’ve built with Justice League Unlimited. We wanted to create a roleplaying game that captures the scale, drama and excitement of the DC Universe while giving players the freedom to tell their own heroic stories. Whether you’re playing as an iconic Justice League member or creating an entirely new hero, this is a game designed to make every player feel like they belong in the DC Universe.”
Justice League Unlimited: The Roleplaying Game is a narrative-driven tabletop RPG set in a universe influenced by the events of DC’s Absolute Power storyline, where the newly expanded Justice League Unlimited operates from the Watchtower, welcoming heroes from across the DC Universe into its ranks.
Players can create original heroes or assume the identities of legendary DC characters while crafting their own stories through cinematic combat encounters, rescue missions, personal character moments, and reality-altering crises.
Character creation remains a core pillar of the experience, allowing players to create Super Heroes from a vast range of origins and philosophies including Amazons, Kryptonians, Meta-Humans, and Cyber Constructs. Players will customize abilities using the game’s Ascension Points (PAX) system, unlocking powers ranging from Speed Force abilities and Lantern Rings to magic and advanced exoskeletons.
