History
ÆON, later known as Trinity was a science-fiction game that was intended to be the first in a trilogy of games.[1]: 222 Aberrant (1999) by Rob Hatch was a near-future superhero role-playing game already in development, which was changed to become part of the "Trinity Universe" setting.[1]: 223 The Trinity line suffered from low sales so the third game, the pulp adventure role-playing game Adventure! (2001), was published as a standalone book.[1]: 223 White Wolf's ArtHaus imprint was eventually placed in charge of the "Trinity" line, and they published Aberrant d20 (2004), Adventure d20 (2004) and Trinity d20 (2004) using the D20 System but they were produced in a weak market for d20 so no further Trinity books were published.[1]: 226
