Little more on the Setting

Humanity believed it only had one Earth to ruin but were wrong. They had countless earths in countless dimensions and managed to utterly destroy all of them.

On some it was to be used as a weapon. Others a tool for prosperity. And on a handful it was merely a curiosity of what would happen. What would happen if man could manipulate the gravitational forces of Earth on a global scale? Devastation. The Earth is torn apart along with the fabrics of space and time.

All was not lost. Some portions of these earths and the inhabitants survived and merged into what is known as Earth Prime. It is a strange place composed from the leftovers of the destroyed earths. Some areas are relatively stable, and others are always changing as portions are overwritten by those of a different Earth. Sometimes it is easy to cross from one shard of an earth over to another, other times it is nearly impossible.

Yes I know I'm a terrible writer and shouldn't quit my day job, or my night job for that matter :)

Although there is very little society left on Earth Prime it does exist. From small towns to a handful of global organizations that use what they can to achieve their goals, be it simple survival or an attempt to make whats left of the worlds into a better place. Here are a few of those organizations I intent to use.

Seekers of Eden: This group believes there exists an earth where man has successfully learned to manipulate the gravitational forces and seek to bring that earth to earth prime by any means necessary.

Protectors of Fate: They believe that man deserves what they have gotten. If there is an earth that has not destroyed itself it should be left alone, and no one on Earth Prime deserves to live there.

Pure Bloods: Strong believers in the protection of the human race. The pure, unmodified, human race. They seek the elimination of mutants, cyborgs, and anything else that presents a threat to mankind. They will work with those they hate, but only for a time.

Shadows: It is said a shadow will fall upon the portions of Earth Prime that are rejected. At first a strange misty fog begins to gather around the borders hindering travel. Slowly the fog thickens until nothing can pass and burning embers begin to appear inside it. Creatures begin to emerge from the shadows destroying and consuming anything that comes near for seven days. After those seven days the fog rapidly dissipates revealing a barren land inside.

The Adventure Ideas

  • There will be ways to 'stabilize' a shard to keep it from fading away.
  • There may be ways to travel to the 'alternate' possible shards.
  • Shadows.
  • Mutant Monsters!
  • What happens when a military base of cyborg axis soldiers appear from an Earth where the Axis won WW2?
  • As above but Russian after they won WW3?
