In the [[Standard Sci -Fi Setting|far flung future,]] humanity and its offshoots have colonized [[All Planets Are Earthlike|Epsilon Eridani IVb]] and been living there for about two hundred years. There are problems, of course; an uneven [[Schizo-Tech|distribution of technology,]] a couple of [[Fantastic Racism|pureblooded idealists,]] some notoriously [[The Highwayman|enterprising individuals...]] and the [[Everything Is Trying to Kill You|wildlife.]] But that hasn't stopped the peoples from making ten major cities all over the globe, and they're certainly not giving up now!
 
[https://web.archive.org/web/20130110064806/http://newhorizon1.com/index.php New Horizon] is a tabletop RPG set in the future on an alien planet with a wide frontier. Players take the role of random people from all walks of life who just happen to get caught up in whatever adventure the GM creates. The RPG utilizes the [[Point Build System|VOLT system,]] built around two [[Color Coded for Your Convenience|twenty-sided dice]] and swift, decisive skill checks. While only recently developed, it still manages to be entertaining and intriguing, allowing for all manner of quests and providing a rich but not constraining backstory. As a bonus, the starter's guide is available in a free-to-read PDF, and excerpts from the other manuals are also available as previews.

* [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: The human view of the Wafan Rebellion at the time, before they were recognized as living beings with their own rights. These days, the Wafans are considered people, so this trope doesn't come into play as much-there are heroic Wafans just as much as there are crooked or villainous ones.
