Paragon is a whole new take on the HDL system, with dramatically expanded rules, a complete magic system, integrated cybernetics rules, and most importantly, a totally revamped Active Delay combat system. Under the hood, it’s still the best of the original HDL system, with point-based character creation, customizable characters with Backgrounds and Weaknesses, cards for both character-building and in-game effects, and the underlying HDL dice mechanic. But the new Paragon rules take the game to new heights, expanding rules to 334 full-color pages.
Clocking in at over 500 pages, this book features hundreds of illustrations and information about the world both within and outside of Demongate High School. It includes detailed descriptions about dozens of supernatural organizations and all the planes of the multiverse, complete statistics for every full-time faculty member, and a plethora of plot hooks. In short, this is your one-stop resource for years of adventures within the Demongate High universe.
Perfect Horizon is the Paragon "cyberpop" setting, inspired by sci-fi like Appleseed and Ghost in the Shell. Huge mega-corporations and political intrigue overshadow a world rampant with hackers, cyborgs, mecha, genetic engineering, and psychic powers.

Opening one’s eyes after falling asleep can mean different things to different people. For most, it means awakening to reality. For a few rare individuals, it could mean awakening to a dream; a lucid experience limited only by imagination, but still belonging to the world we know as reality. But when a dream is reality, how does one tell the difference?
Stepping from a dream into the Dreaming Reality can be a bit of a shock, and believing that one can influence reality while dreaming can be very difficult. However, these are issues any Dreamer must overcome in order to learn to protect himself from the Shadows, and from the dangers inherent in his own dreams and nightmares.
