Judgement Day is an adventure set in the then-future of 2018 that is set both in Mega-City One and on the prison moon Titan that orbits Jupiter. [1] The evil Judge Cal, former tyrant ruler of Mega-City One, had his personality saved on a microchip before his death. The players must find the microchip and prevent it from being used, which would lead to the return of Judge Cal and his nefarious plans. [2]
The adventure is divided into four chapters:
Games Workshop (GW) first published Judge Dredd: The Role-Playing Game in 1985. The following year, GW released the game's first adventure, Judgement Day. [2] The 32-page book was written by Marcus L. Rowland, with a cover by Brett Ewins. It also included 16 pages of player aids and cardstock miniatures of non-player characters. [3]
Jason Kingsley reviewed Judgement Day for White Dwarf #75, giving it an overall rating of 9 out of 10, and stated that "Judgment Day is a solidly produced, value-for-money scenario, with well realised plot lines and individualised NPCs. Its plot is clever though slightly off-beat, but very much in keeping with the rest of Judge Dredd's world." [1]

Mega-City One is a fictional city that features in the Judge Dredd comic book series and related media. A post-nuclear megalopolis covering much of what is now the Eastern United States and some of Canada, the city's exact geography depends on the writer and artist working the story. From its first appearance it has been associated with New York City's urban sprawl; originally presented as a future New York, it was retconned as the centre of a "Mega-City One" in the third issue.
Epic is a collective term for a series of tabletop wargames set in the fictional Horus Heresy and Warhammer 40,000 universes. Whereas Warhammer 40,000 involves small battles between forces of a few squads of troops and two or three vehicles, Epic features battles between armies consisting of dozens of tanks and hundreds of soldiers. Due to the comparatively larger size of the battles, Epic miniatures are smaller, roughly one quarter the size of those in Warhammer 40,000, with a typical human being represented with a 6mm high figure, as opposed to the 28mm minis used in Warhammer 40,000. Since being first released in 1988 as Adeptus Titanicus, it has gone through various editions with varying names.
