The Reign of kings has ended, now is the time of Monsters.
Alternate 1930s Europe – A Continent on the Brink
The world has fractured. In this grim reimagining of the 1930s, history diverged when brilliant inventor Henry Ford, disillusioned with the dangers of industrialization, unveiled a revolutionary new technology: A.R.M. These monstrous machines of industry powered by diesel engines were co-opted to end the Great War. Fitted with devastating weapons these machines turned the tide of battle.
A.R.M.s once short for Armored Repair Machines were re-branded after the war to Armored Response Machines. “Man has forsaken God for gods of rivet and steel. We have awaken the iron golems and become death.”
