''[[The World Forged By Powers]]'' is a [[Bottomless Sandbox]] style [[Play-By-Post Games|Play By Post Game]] that explores what the world would be like if super powers were real and followed some of the more basic laws of physics as closely as possible. It was created to tear down traditional [[Hollywood Science]] and come up with new explanations for the most common powers. No, not [[Most Common Superpower|that one]]. Therefore, it generally ends up rather hard on the [[Mohs Scale of Science Fiction Hardness]]. This does not stop the players from doing all sorts of crazy stuff, though.
The game roughly follows the current date in [[Real Life]], through the use of [[Comic Book Time]], but throughout history, people with superpowers have changed the way the world developed. Currently there are significant differences with [[Real Life]]. In general, the most successful company on the planet is [[Mega Corp|HardeWare Systems]], created and powered by the biggest genius on the planet [[Ditzy Genius|HardeWare]] and led by [[Corrupt Corporate Executive|Peter Vanderheijden]]. This company was responsible for the creation of the intercontinental [[Portal Network]] that spans Earth (and also the moon). In addition to this they also sell robotics and weaponry to both the military and civilians. Mostly know for their chain of HardeWare Stores where supernormals can buy dietary supplements, powered armour and all sorts of other gadgets and weapons.

* [[All Myths Are True]]: Almost but not quite. Mythological figures are actually early supernormals who realized what they could do if they grouped up.
* [[Artificial Limbs]]: A common staple of the technology of this world.
