Introduction: Hi, Frontier is just a game. It won't solve world problems or cure tragic illnesses. All it is guaranteed to do is give you a good time and some relaxation. We can't promise anymore than that. We don't know all the answers and we don't claim to be perfect. There are lots of different games out there, they're like soda, and you can find them all over the place and all suit different tastes. Some are better than others it just depends on what you like; each has its own flavor. What we've done with Frontier is try and design a general all purpose game system that doesn't have to go through any dramatic rules changes to play whatever flavor setting you like. The main thing is to have fun with it, stretch your imagination a little. All we want you to do is have fun simple as that. This core book has two settings provided within it as the first in a long series of the Frontier Multiverse. The first is Exodus, a science fiction setting where man has gone to the stars and can no longer call Earth home. The second is Dawn of the Magi, a sword and sorcery fantasy setting where magic is steadily returning to the world of Phoryan luring all with its promises of power. Intro to Role-playing: Now for those of you who bought this game and aren't familiar with role-playing, a little background information is in order. Role-playing has been around since the beginning of time. Children do it every time they play with their friends and pretend to be something else. Whether it's little girls playing house or little boys having amazing adventures with their imaginations, role-playing is imagination. The only difference between that and a role-playing game, or RPG's as they are commonly called, is that RPG's use a set of rules to avoid the big arguments of "I got you! No you didn't, I got you!" that can happen between children trying to figure out who one. To give a random factor to it all most RPG's use multi-sided dice to generate an outcome. Now this is not say that the use of dice is the only correct way, many games use various types of cards or other means to generate an outcome. What is important is that it fits the game. Game designers go to great lengths to provide an enjoyable game that people will have as much fun with as they do. The important thing to remember above all else is to have fun, play fair, use your common sense to resolve problems, and remember it is just a game. If you can do these simple things you will have that much more fun. Some games are simple, some more complex than others, but all strive to achieve a reasonable balance between playability and realism as you can possibly get. A special note to parents: Over the years role-playing games have gotten some bad press. Whether it was over a game promoting worship in the occult, participation in illegal acts, or just general bad behavior by troubled children, many things have happened that have been tied to RPG's. As a game designer and a parent I do not see how a game can cause these things. Growing up I played many different games and the friends I played with were generally among the brightest in school, ambitious, and all around good people. Those who did have problems didn't blame them on the game, as often times it was an escape from their troubles. Games are meant to be fun, if anything, RPG's promote the use of a person's imagination and social interaction. But, it can't replace the interaction between a parent and their child. If you care about what your child is doing, be involved. Ask to read the rules and setting material. Sit in on a game session or even play with them. It is true that some games contain and are about sensitive topics and parents should be aware of them. Communicate with your children, be aware and in some cases trusting that your child is mature enough to handle the subject material at hand in a responsible manner. If you can do this your experience with your children and role-playing games will be that much more rewarding and understanding. Jason Palenske and the rest of the Lost Horizons staff

______________ Creation Guide In the following section you will find everything you need to know to make a basic Frontier Character, machines, species etc. You will also find tips for quick and easy non-crew character and species generation. Each setting will provide information to help create characters specific to the setting such as profession packs, extra species, and equipment. At the end of the section you will find quick creation charts that more experienced players may use to create characters more quickly. The first thing you and your group need to do is decide on what type of game you’re going to play. Are you interested in science fiction, sword and sorcery fantasy, or maybe you enjoy a good scare and enjoy a horror setting. You may even want to decide to use elements of all of the above and create your own new and unique setting. Either way, this is the main thing in which all of you need to decide first. Then should you be using a setting with alternate species, each player will want to have theirs chosen first as each species affects character creation in a different way. Step 1: Choose a Species If alternate species are not available to the setting in which you are playing all characters are then presumed to be human or the chosen species. Step 2: Backgrounds Everybody has a background, who they are and where they came from. Characters are no different. Each has a unique history to them that help define who they are. There are a few options available to help you get a quick and speedy background for your character. The first option is the simplest, you simply think up a background for your character and then pass the idea by your Director showing them any special elements about it and they decide yes or no on whether or not you can use it. The next option is you can use a background generator that uses tables in which you can roll dice on to get a random history for your character. You will find a generic background generator at the end of this section that, although vague, can give a general idea of characters' past. Also you will find specific background generators available with each setting. Now if you don't have an idea and need something quick and easy we have a list of generic backgrounds that can be used as a reference. If you already have a background you can skip ahead to Step 3.

GENERIC BACKGROUND GENERATOR Life history is built upon a series events, you can either choose your characters history ahead of time with the Director, or you can roll on a set of rolled charts that give a detailed, yet still vague events that can help in the development of Character creation. Certain special abilities and skills can be gained through rolling on the life history tables, as well as bad ones. Ultimately, all rolls made should be at the discretion of the G.O.D. before they are confirmed. Each setting provides a specific background generator to help give more details specific to the setting. Section One: Roll #1 AGE Roll 1d20 and add to age 16 Roll#2 Family Standing 1. Slaves- 10% of starting funds, round down 2. Poor- 50%of starting funds, round up 3. Lower Class- 75% of starting funds, round up 4. Comfortable- normal starting funds 5. Middle Class- 2x starting funds 6. Well to do- 3x starting funds 7. Upper Class- 4x starting funds 8. Wealthy- 5x starting funds 9. Nobility-Extremely Wealthy- 6x starting funds 10. Royalty- 10x starting funds Roll#3 Legitimacy Roll of 1-8=legitimate. Roll of 9-10=illegitimate Roll #4 Family Head 1-3. Two parents (if illegitimate, parents not married). 4-5. Aunt and/or Uncle. 6.

Roll of 1-8 Raised in orphanage. Change standing to Poor. Roll of 9-10, Raised by species different from Character. Roll again on Species Table if applicable to setting. Roll #5 Siblings 1-2. Only child 3-4. 1d10 siblings. Roll Hi/Lo. Roll of Hi = Older. Roll of Lo = younger. Odd = sister. Even = brother. 5. Twin. Roll Hi/Lo. Roll of Hi = Fraternal. Roll of Lo = Identical. If this number is rolled more than once add up total and turn into triplets, quadruplets etc. 6. 1d10 adopted siblings 7. 1d10 +1 siblings 8. 1d10 +3 siblings 9. 1d10 illegitimate siblings.

Step 3: Character Building Ok, you've got a crew, a director, and people have chosen species and backgrounds that are appropriate, and have a blank character sheet. Now what? Now it's time to make a character. There are two ways to do it. You can either make one from scratch or purchase character packs that make the process go a little faster. Each Player receives 100 Character Points, or CP, to build their character with. Character Points are like a player’s game currency that can be used to purchase Stats, extra skills, Qualities, and Perks. Players can receive extra CP by taking flaws. Also, with the permission of the Director, players may combine CP's in order to purchase perks together. The following steps will show how to make a character from scratch. Directors also have the choice of awarding more CP if they feel it is necessary for players to make more experienced or powerful characters. Optional Character starting CP: 100 CP- Average This is your normal everyday character that may have a few things special about them but otherwise you wouldn’t be able to pick them out in a crowd. 150 CP- Intense They aren’t the normal, in fact they tend to stick out a little. 200 CP- Heroic Sticking out is an understatement. Heroic characters tend to change the world.

STATS: There are nine Stats that are rated on a scale of 1-10. When building a character from scratch they are the first thing you will want to purchase with your character points. Stats are what make up the physical characteristics of your character. You may use up to 70 of your character points to purchase your Stats. If a director feels it is important for players to have more physically powerful characters they may allow players to use more CP to purchase Stats. The Stats are: Intelligence: How smart your character is, or plain raw brain power. This Stat is used with skills such as chemistry, mathematics etc, and is represented as INT on your character sheet. Willpower: Your force of personality and the ability to carry on against adversity. This Stat is most commonly used with skills like intimidation, persuasion, or when trying to overcome physical adversity. It is represented as WILL on your character sheet. Creativity: This represents your characters natural creative talents as well as working with physical puzzles. It is most commonly used with artistic skills such as sculpting, and drawing, but also used with construction skills such as armor making and weapon-smithing. It is represented as CREATE on the character sheet. Awareness: How well you perceive your surrounding as well as spatial perception. This Stat is most commonly used with the skill Notice and long range weapon skills such as firearms and archery. It is represented on your character sheet as AWARE. Compassion: Compassion represents how well you do things within or out of your normal moral character. Although not normally used with skills this Stat is most commonly used with spiritual attributes. It is represented as COMP on the character sheet. Attraction: This Stat represents your characters pure physical attractiveness. It is considered to be a species relative Stat but can be cross compatible in some cases. It is represented as ATTR on your character sheet. Body: Body represents your characters physical size and is the base of your characters strength. It most often used with strength skills such as wrestling. Endurance: This STAT represents your characters physical ability to endure hardship as well as representing physique and muscle tone. It is most commonly used with skills such as running and climbing. It is represented as END on your character sheet. Dexterity: Dexterity represents your characters balance and coordination. This is most often used with skills such as acrobatics and skills that require good motor and hand eye skills such as throwing and swordsmanship. It is represented as DEX on your character sheet.

SKILLS LIST SKILL levels: 1- Poor 2- Mediocre 3- Fair 4- Skilled 5- Excellent 6- Superior 7- Mastery 8- Legendary Please note skills within this list are for many different genres. Also some skills have a learning modifier showing the skill is more difficult to learn thus increasing its cost. Also it is wise to use a background generator before purchasing skills as they may be affected. * Skill requires another skill of equal or greater value. Please note some Skills can work off of an average of two STATS. This is done to shorten the amount of necessary rolls to complete an objective. Also remember that this is not a complete list, we can't think of everything. Please feel free to add to it, as you need. Skills are purchased at 1 point for 1 point basis multiplied by the learning multiplier at character creation only. Should the Director decide that a game requires characters of a beginning nature they may choose to put a cap on Skill levels that they do not wish players to exceed during character creation. The genre availability category should not be considered as a limitation, it is there purely as a reference of what type of genre a skill may full under.

Profession Pack Guide: Sometimes you just want to make a character quickly. To do that we have provided a quick method of character creation to get to up and running or to help Directors quickly make non-crew characters. Profession packs are designed to be a quick and easy means of creating a character by providing a basic framework that can be adjusted to suit the players need. Each pack takes a general occupation and fills in the blanks to show how that particular occupation may be done. These Packs are general and non-setting specific so they require slightly more work to complete.

______________ RULES GUIDE Now when we say rules we do not mean them in a contractually binding way, but more in a here are a set of guidelines to know how the game works sort of way. If you come across something that is contradictory or does not work for the flavor of game you are playing change it, or make up a rule that works for you. You’re not going to offend us, in fact we encourage it. Frontier is meant to be flexible. If it breaks let us know. We’ll see what we can do to fix it. Above all just be fair in the things you change. With all of that being said we can move on to explaining the basics and how you use them.

Basics: Task Checks Anytime you or your crew comes across a challenge or obstacle that can not be role played to overcome it is considered a Task. Task checks are used to make an impartial judgment to determine whether the crewmember succeeds or not. Task checks are made by adding the appropriate Stat to skill and rolling under the total on a twenty-sided die, should there be any modifications made for difficulty they are subtracted from the total before rolling. Skills can negate negative modifiers up to their total amount. Task checks: Stat + skill roll equal or under on d20 Roll of 1: critical success Equal or under to task check total: success (each point roll is succeeded by equals a level of comparable success.) Roll of 19: simple failure Roll of 20: critical failure Difficulty modifiers: 1-10 range subtract from Task check total Skills negate negative modifiers, remainder applies as a negative to task total If negative modifiers leave task check total at zero or less player must roll a 1, critical success in order to succeed. Example: Complex Tasks Sometimes a task can not be completed in one action. The director may feel it necessary to assign a success total to complete the action. The amount of successes necessary varies by the complexity of the task. Each point a character beats his task check total by counts as one success towards the complex total. Multiple characters may combine totals to complete a task faster and show teamwork. Rolling equal to your task total does not count as a success towards the task. Example: Contested Tasks There are times when to characters may come in conflict but it can’t be solved through a simple roll, such as races, building an item, or completing a task. These contested tasks are treated as if they were a complex task to show which competitor achieves the goal first. Example: Combat Sometimes within an adventure combat can be unavoidable, such as trying to escape an evil lord’s fortress, or pirates are boarding your ship, in these cases you can be forced to take action. Now this is not to say as a game design we

36

condone violence but we do realize that there are times when it can’t be avoided based on the setting. So as such we have supplied rules to show how these situations can be handled and how the rules work. Quick and Dirty

Damage Sometimes no matter what you do you can get hurt, take a fall, get in a car accident, someone attacks you. It can be avoided usually but other times it just happens so for the rules we have to have a way of expressing it in game mechanics. In many games to determine damage you roll lots of dice and count up points. Others you have to look at tables and charts to determine location and damage sustained. With Frontier we took a much more streamlined and narrative approach. Damage is done all in one roll and does not worry about location, instead you use your Task Check roll and use the information it gives you. Every time you make a Task Check it shows a degree of success based on how much you beat your Task total by on your roll. For wound damage you take the amount you beat your Task by and use that as a damage total applying it to the wound table. The greater the success the higher the wound.

______ FEAR Historical Modern Day Fear follows a normal BC to AD calendar year. History begins in the early Egyptian Era and includes things such as the Crusades and Salem Witch Trials. Intro-

“I’m tellin you there’s a monster inside you kid. I’m telling you. You just sittin there with that amused look on your smug face while you sit and drink your choco-cocoa puff latte but I knows. I seens it. You, me, hell that sweet lookin lady walkin that little pure bred mutt. We alls gots one, alls of us. Justs waitin to be let out. Not me though, nots me…I gots it locked up tight… cant’s let it out again…not again… You r’member kid, it’s in there, jus waitin to get out, don let it out…ever…never, never agin.” “Hey Lady! Yeahs you, don walk away…I sees what you really are…I knows…” (Insert Fear definition) Parental Advisory Mature subject matter, parental discretion is advised. Fear is all about terror, now we’re not talking the old kind of terror that a guy in a rubber suit caused in old 50’s horror flicks, but more in the it scared your Grandpa to even talk about it sort of way. Things that go bump in the night, the monster in your closet, all those things you thought you saw but are afraid to tell anyone about because your afraid someone will think your crazy, that’s what FEAR is all about. It’s about all those things your afraid of, or afraid you might become. FEAR is a supernatural setting unlike many others in the fact it is meant to leave you spooked. It’s meant to have the hair standing up on the back of your neck and you constantly looking over your shoulder. Throughout time man has tried to explain away the things that scared him, superstitions have arisen. Every culture has them, some unique, but some that are eerily similar. No matter the time period, or the culture, one fact has remained, fear is here, and it is here to stay. Nightmares, monsters, ghosts, goblins, and the boogey man, these are just a small part of the things that make up the Fear setting. Since the beginning of time for man the supernatural has made up a strong part of the foundation of all cultures. The FEAR setting plays upon those foundations to provide a unique supernatural setting different from most others.

Valley of the Kings, Egypt 1947 “Colonel are you sure we should be here?” “Nonsense Freidrich, the Fuhrer has tasked us with a great mission and we are going to accomplish it.” “But Sir, all alone with no troops or equipment? What about the Egyptians?” “Freidrich the Egyptians will do nothing! We have our plan and our orders and we will not fail in carrying them out. Now corporal…if you would be so kind as to bring your light over here so that I can see this map better.”

________ EXODUS Near-Future Mid-Future Exodus follows a C.A. to A.E calendar year. C.A. - Colonial Ascension C.A. is the official calendar year that was established by the outer worlds at the end of the Colonial War. Since that time the traditional AD designation for a calendar year was officially stricken from records and unused. It is unknown what the AD year was when C.A. was established. AE – After Exodus AE is the official year designation used by many Tribe Fleets and City Ships since the Final World War. AE began use as a year designation in 257 C.A. IntroEarth was overburdened; man had abused her resources and overpopulated the land. Gradually man reached for the stars to find other worlds to ease the pain of his home planet. Massive effort was used to stretch the reach of man and in time other planets were found that were, or could be made hospitable to human life. But man was still alone in the galaxy, and like a dysfunctional family, began to turn on himself. The powers that be began to argue over how new resources would be shared, and who would do the work. Those of wealth and influence began to turn their efforts towards controlling who would reap the rewards of mans endeavors. Meanwhile the impoverished and hungry citizens of Earth were to watch as the controlling powers ruled from their steel and concrete towers or from distant worlds. In time those in control of colonies would take offense at the constant demands of Earth in the needs of food and resources. Man would once again war on himself. People desperate for food would once again explore the stars searching for worlds capable of helping humanity survive. Some would leave in massive city ships, vowing never to be dependent on a planet again. But, in the end it would all be in vain. The last struggling governmental powers of Earth would battle with each other over the last aging colony ships, ships that could carry the lives of humanity cradled in their hulls to new worlds. Battle for control of yet unseen worlds, until ultimately destroying each other and countless innocent lives in an apocalypse of nuclear fire. If not for the brave acts of mutineer star pilots in the colossal ships in orbit man would more than likely have become extinct on face of his own home world. Freed of the shackles of unreasonable rulers simple men would risk everything to save their fellow man, sometimes paying with their lives. All in an effort to ensure that all that tried could reach safety. An effort to make sure that all who desired to try for a new life among the stars could join the last great ...EXODUS.

Colonial Union- Blue Survey Performed by Colin Yu Since the war the Colonial Union has become the dominant power within human occupied space. Although their political and military dominance has recently come into question with the expansion of the Corporate States, there have been no open hostilities as of yet; the Union is taking precautions. Although things do generally take time to get passed through the bureaucracy

79

of the Senate, the Union is not slow to react to hostilities. Even though the Union as a government is neutral in regards to the welfare of Earth refugees, each member planet is responsible for maintaining their own immigration regulations. It is then unsurprising to find that each of the Colonial union planets does not allow immigration in general, and if they do it is highly subjective. Each Union planet is governed in its own style while provided two colonial senators per one million citizens, with a minimum of one to the Colonial Senate. The seat of the Union Senate resides at Carlisle Landing, Tau Ceti.

Corporate States- Red

Survey Performed by Malcolm Carson Eridani 4 Epsilon Eridani Population: 42.5million Currency: Imports: Exports: Planetary Rotation: 29hrs Year Rotation: 372 days Gravity: 1.02 Moons: 2 Immigration: Main Settlements: Description: Epsilon Eridani, or Eridani as its inhabitants call it, was the first world settled by man beyond his native solar system. Although the not the most hospitable of worlds, it was chosen as the most viable option to help alleviate overpopulation and famine increases on Earth. Although initially considered safe, the colonies first settlement met with disaster due to unforeseen meteor storms. Since that time the planet's inhabitants have adapted their dwellings to accommodate the seasonal meteor showers, Eridani Primes orbit passes within close proximity of the Epsilon systems asteroid belt occasionally causing violent impacts. As a result, Eridani dwellings are almost always built within the shelter of natural cliff faces that provide perfect shelter from the rare, but extremely possible, meteorite impacts. From its beginning, Eridani Prime has had a constant corporate influence. Since the Exodus this influence has taken on more of a dramatic role in the governing of the planet. As ties with Earth were separated, local corporate directors took it upon themselves to govern the areas of influence in which they were directly involved. As such, the planet's settlements were divided up amongst the local companies. Normal colonists were then either forced to live under the guidance of one the sets of Boards of Directors, or scratch out a living as best as they could out in Eridani Primes more frontier wilderness. Either being totally self sufficient or trading with the corporations for items of necessity. Often time colonists are taken advantage of by some of the local companies and are then forced to seek outside outlets of trade. Throughout the settlements, corporate or colonial, a respectable religious influence can be felt.

81

Since the Eridani Endeavor was signed, contributing religious institutions were granted colonial charters in which their members were granted endowments and land franchises. Most are highly respectable and only have the population’s best interests at heart, but since the Exodus several splinter groups have rose up promoting xenophobia of outsiders. Especially Earth refugees, for fear of the same thing happening to Eridani Prime. As trade increases between the colonies these groups have also sent their missionaries to other words to spread their word of fear. This message has also caused considerable trouble for the Tribe Fleets and City Ships as spreading concern has laid the blame of Earth's demise on their shoulders. Probably the most vocal of all these groups is the Galactic Church of Humanity, although known for their charitable acts among those in need, this charity is not known to be extended to spacers. Rumors abound about members of the Galactic Church committing acts of violence against spacers, but their excellent record of helping those in need makes such rumors difficult to believe among colonists.

Government: Corporate States: Bio-Com: Originally a biological research and development company based out of the United States contracted to do terraforming and ecological research and improvements, Bio-Com has since become one of the leading powers on Eridani Prime. Although they do not control an extensive area of territory, almost no terraforming or ecological improvement happens without their direct influence or approval. Although highly noted for their achievements in Terraforming technology, Bio-Com is also well regarded for their achievements in biological science in regards to plants and animals. Through bioengineering, gene therapy, and other methods, Bio-com has been able to

82

introduce a large variety of new or modified species of flora and fauna. These new species are highly prized for their abilities to survive, and thrive, in alien environments where their ancestral counterparts could not.

Tendric Mining: A large, multi-national, European mining and geological survey corporation contracted to survey the planet for natural resources; Tendric Mining has since grown to retain control of all of the colony's original mines and mineral rights, as well as developing several new ones. Due to the nature of their business Tendric Mining controls many remote territories over a very large area. Although these territories may seem small they are in actuality very large encompassing massive subterranean networks. Unbeknownst to the rest of the Corporate States, Tendric surveyors believe they may have recently uncovered a settlement predating the colony during the evaluation of a mineral deposit. Since its discovery, Tendric Mining has been extremely secretive about their findings. However it is unknown as to whether or not any such other settlements exist elsewhere on the planet. It is believed that they are quiet about their findings until they can discern whether or not any useful knowledge or technology can be gained from the artifacts before making them common colonial knowledge.

Nakamoto Industries Tanto Fabrications: Born in the heart of the Empire of the Sun, the Nakamoto Industries have ruled in the development of environmental technologies for generations. From space stations to environmental domes or other vital habitation equipment for struggling colonies, Nakamoto has paved the way. With its child corporation of Tanto Fabrications, Nakamoto became the heart of the Eridani Endeavor, without their technology that made the Prime station and the first dome cities, the colony may never have reached their destination. Since that time Nakamoto Industries has ruled trade from on high within the Prime Station, placing tariffs on all goods coming to and from the planet as they control the only facility capable of supporting the colossal trade and refugee vessels that may come to perform business with Eridani Prime. Although some parties may try bypassing the station to deliver their goods, via their own shuttles, Nakamoto takes great delight in increasing prices on other necessary goods, such as fuel and coolant, only available on Prime station unless you have alternate means. Which in the case of most trade vessels they do not. As it has done since its founding, control of Nakamoto Industries, and all it's subsidiaries galaxy- wide has been handed down generation to generation. Although their business practices are not always considered equal, Nakamoto is renowned for the superior treatment of its employees no matter what their status or employment position.

Delta Ag: A botanical research laboratory noted for its success in the farming of Earth's sea beds, as well as the development of many hydroponic varieties of plants, Delta Ag is quite likely the smallest of the Corporate States in terms of population. In terms of territory however, from their hydroponic, sea bound, or traditional farms, no two corporate states combined come close to encompassing Delta's vast land and water resources. With their extensive use of robotics, Delta Ag has been able to manage and make flourish more farmland than all other Eridani prime farmers combined. As a result, even with the tariffs imposed by Nakamoto Ind. on the transportation of goods, Delta has managed to flourish and even compete on a galactic scale. Of all the companies on Eridani, Delta Agriculture is known for being the most sympathetic to the needs of the City and Tribe ships.

Independent settlements: Although there were many other companies involved in the Eridani Endeavor, none of them rose to the power achieved by the corporate states. Many dissolved in mergers with the states or became so small as to be considered inconsequential and little more than mom and pop local businesses. As with all things, however, there are exceptions to every rule. Military:

Procyon- White Survey Performed by Andre Fairmont Procyon Population: Unknown approximated at 237,000 in trade stations Currency: Imports: General materials food machine parts Exports: Starship grade alloys Recycling technology hydroponic technology Planetary Rotation: 26hrs Year Rotation: 332 days Gravity: 1.13g en Moons: Immigration: Visitors to Procyon are restricted to the Proci Space Station, or the Proci Trade posts. The reason given for this is the protection of Procyon's fragile environment and the safety of visitors. Although the Proci do not allow immigration beyond temporary stays in the trade posts, they do trade with any and all colonies, tribe and city ships. Main Settlements: Proci Space Station The Trade Posts: Far Reach Station New Holland Campbell Valley Misty Rock Trading Company Government: Unknown

Description: The third colony to be settled by man, Procyon is considered to be the harshest of the human colonized worlds if you are not privy to its environmental secrets. Floating far from most other colonies in a lazy orbit around its binary stars, Procyon appears to be a dead world shrouded in a haze of dust clouds. On the surface however a far different story is told. Beneath the low clouds lies a planet of strangely exotic and deadly beauty. Its atmosphere is made up of fine dust and constant mist of precipitation caught in a strange balance of wind and temperature. Unfortunately the water found on Procyon is toxic to humans without refinement. Also due to the airborne dust things are easily coated in slimy, silt like mud capable of permeating all but the most sealed of containers, and stopping machinery dead in its tracks. As a result colonists were forced to thoroughly study the planets ecosystem to see how man could survive on such a world. The effects of this intensive study were astounding. It was discovered that small plants dotting the surface of Procyon were discovered to act as natural filters for rainwater and ground

89

toxins, as well as some varieties being consumable by human beings. As a result, colonists were able to create modified hydroponic gardens capable of sustaining the colony as well as highly refined recycling techniques capable of maintaining the planets fragile ecological balance. Also, Procyon is a veritable treasure trove of mineral wealth unparalleled by any other colonial world. Among these minerals are easily refined alloys that make up the bulk of materials used for current starship manufacture. Since its colonization, the culture of Procyon has developed in a very unique way. Since the Colony War, as the demand for starship grade alloys grew, the citizens of Procyon have grown into two very distinct and intertwined cultures. Out among the eroded canyon desert you find the secretive Proci mining clans, original colonists who have adapted to Procyon's delicate environment, and trek across its surface mining important alloys without disturbing the fragile ecology. They are also the creators and developers of Procyon's highly sophisticated recycling and botanical technology. Although expensive, this equipment is highly sought after by colonials and spacers alike. In the settlements, you find the Proci Trade families, or the Face of the Proci, made up of original colonial families and some Earth refugees. It is with the Trade Families that all commerce and interaction is made between visitors and Procyon’s' residents. It is considered highly insulting to demand to consult a Proci clansman if an undesirable arrangement can not be made with a Trade Family member. As they are the Face of the Proci, their word is considered bond, and all deals are considered binding by that family and its corresponding clan's members. Native Flora and Fauna: A detailed accounting of the native Biology of Procyon is unavailable as it is held secret by the Proci.

The City Ships of Exodus As man stretched his reach to the stars to relieve his population needs a daring plan was designed, to create massive ships capable of sustaining life on their own. These city ships, once built would then be allowed to roam space in search of habitable worlds, though should they not be able to find any they would still be able to sustain themselves. Though many were built, the exact number is unknown as the records were destroyed in an attack during the war. It is also unknown how many survived afterwards or found home amongst the stars. Below is a list of the city ships known to be currently within human occupied space. Babylon Survey Performed by Population: Government: Description: Like its predecessor, Babylon is a wonder to behold. It was originally built to be the largest cruise ship ever conceived by mankind. Its inhabitants, needing a means to support them in space turned their aging ship into a wandering wonderland where all were welcome. As a result, of all the city ships, they are the welcomes throughout the colonial worlds. They travel from world to world offering casino's, carnivals, shows, and as many forms of recreation as possible in return for supplies as well as money good on whichever planet they happen to be orbiting above.

Description: Built upon the frame of an aging warship, the Sparta is one of the smallest, yet oldest city ships. It has been plying the space lanes since before the colonial war. Although it is beginning to show its age after many repairs and renovations Sparta is still a formidable opponent to even the craftier and powerful pirate organizations. It is reputed to have held off every attack it has ever faced. Though it must trade regularly for everyday necessities, Sparta weaponry is highly sought after because of their superb craftsmanship. Whether handheld or shipboard, a Spartan weapon is nearly unmatched in quality. Unfortunately, available quantities are usually low and their prices high coupled with the fact they are only available for sale from the Sparta herself.

_____________________ DAWN OF THE MAGI Mid-Future Far Future Dawn of the Magi follows a Dynasty, C.L., R.M., and A.S. calendar year. C.L. - Colonial Landing (Unknown to players and directors) The Creation Dynasty is said to have lasted for two thousand years before the Reign of Ma’Jahn’fey. How the gods gauged the passage of time before creation is unknown. C.L. is often referred to by scholars as the Creation of Life. R.M. – Reign of Ma’Jahn’fey

152

After the God War, the Ma’Jahn’fey Dynasty lasted approximately only twelve centuries before the Sword Dynasty began. A.S. – Age of the Sword The Sword Dynasty has lasted nearly three and half thousand years with many rise and falls in between during that time. As all calendar designations precede the year, the current year according to scholars is A.S. 3427.

IntroIn the beginning, all was clay, seething with untapped energy. The old gods saw the potential of the world, molded and shaped it into form, coaxing the energy into breathing life into it all. Phoryan was born from all this. Then, feeling that the world had matured, the gods began to create the life that would dwell upon, under, and above its surface. Forged from the very clay of Phoryan itself, each god shaping a likeness that pleased them. Then, when they were content, Phoryan breathed the breath of life into them. And so the races of the world were born. Ages would pass, great cultures would rise and thrive, magic being at the heart of them all. Throughout all of Phoryan the pulse of magic could be felt by its inhabitants, life was good. The gods would look upon their creations with happiness and pride thinking nothing could tarnish them. But, all good things come to an end. Over time, as magic became more ingrained, some would find that what they had been given was not enough. An order of magi, known as the Ma'Jahn'fey, rose to power throughout the world. Their purpose was to achieve power over magic that rivaled that of the gods. As their rule spread they drew unto

153

themselves all those who showed true promise and power. Those who would not join them were killed or driven into exile in fear of their own lives. Soon their rule became absolute. The gods, having been complacent for too long, and wishing to allow their creations to be uncontrolled and free to pursue their own destinies were too late to interfere. The Ma'Jahn'fey brought their war directly to the gods. The ensuing battles laid waste to a great portion of the world. When the dust cleared, the old gods were gone, and new younger gods, some of the Ma'Jahn'fey, stood in their place. The age of the Ma'Jahn'fey had begun. In their greed, and lust for power, the new gods failed to learn the true key of creation. Their powers, greatly diminished from the battle, were unable to breathe life into new creations; their abilities to answer their follower’s pleas and desires were minor. Meanwhile, the surviving people of the god war lived in uncertainty and fear. As time went on their fear would become overwhelming, and magic would be to blame. People and creatures thought to be born of, or possessing magic would be hunted to extinction or driven into hiding. Soon magic would be forgotten and the Age of the Sword would begin. Throughout the following centuries, countless empires rose and fell. The races of Phoryan would make war upon each other until uneasy balances had been made. The young gods, inept and relatively powerless contented themselves with merely interfering in the lives of Phoryan's inhabitants. As history had shown however, change was inevitable. Slowly at first, magic has begun the slip back into the world. Children, born of ordinary parents, have begun to show signs of unnatural abilities to control their surroundings. Warriors have been seen carrying amazing weapons found in the forgotten areas of the world. Adolescents have begun reading books containing an ancient language, unlocking mysteries forgotten by inhabitants of the world for ages. Old gods, once thought gone, begin to weakly answer again the cries of their children. It is a new age and the signs are clear, the world's inhabitants may have forgotten magic but Phoryan has not. The Dawn of the Magi has come.

Kalenn Tamers of the mighty Draaj, Kalenn live a unique life between earth and heaven. On the backs of their great beasts they soar across the land seeing things few can imagine. Even though the Draaj were once hunted, thought to be created out of magic, the Kalenn have kept their ancient pact and delivered them from extinction. Although the Kalenn are mistrusted by some because of their ties to supposedly magical beasts they have managed to prosper in secluded settlements. They supplement their incomes as messengers when speed is of the essence, as well as scouts and deliverers of supplies to remote areas. Over the millennia they have been able to develop various breeds of Draaj for different environments and tasks. It is said that the Kalenn are highly empathic and can feel the emotions of the Draaj as well as the thoughts of those around them. It is also speculated that they were once a society of sorcerers and that they created the Draaj as a means of travel as well as protection from outsiders. Due to their quiet natures, the Kalenn are often believed to be highly secretive and not to be trusted.

TYRRAN HORSE TRIBES (drawn) When the god Phaedren walked upon the face of Phoryan he looked upon the sands and noticed how although they remained the same, they could be found anywhere. Either sliding along the beaches, enduring the heat of the desert, or following the winding streams and rivers of the plains and mountains. Seeing this he was inspired, and began to mold and shape man from the very sand. Then satisfied with its form, he blew the sand to all the corners of the world to grow and be as they would want or need. Some would stay in one place, like the sand of the beaches, while others, would be left to be blown by the wind, all of them the same, yet very much different. The freedom of the open plain and the wind in their face is the greatest pleasure of any Tyrran. Their tribes traverse the plains year round, trading as they go. They ask nothing of anyone, except to be left free to travel where the wind takes them. Renown throughout the world for their prize war-horses, and their skill on them, little does a Tyrran need that he can not find on the plain. Their great pavilions can be found throughout the land, everywhere from outside cities trading wares from their travels to rivers along the Horse Plains, their drums echoing for miles. Although sometimes considered prey individually, few but the greatest of fools would consider challenging the might of the tribes combined. Appearance- Tyrrans are tall and lean with a golden brown tint to their skin. Their hair ranges from dark auburn to a dirty blonde. Brown and black hair is rare but not unheard of. It is said that when the sand blew from Phaedrens hands, that the wind took some of it high up into the sun, giving it some of its warmth, the warmth burned into their hair and skin. Average height for males is around 6'3" with females averaging around 5'10". Their clothes are made of a mixture of leather, wool, and some cotton. Culture-When the sand landed, it spread upon the horse plains giving birth to the Tyr. From then on they would always know the warmth of the sun, free of the constraining roofs and walls of cities, free to follow the winds and their hearts. Tyrrans live for the moment for they never know when there will not be another day. Chiefs' rule their tribes with a council of respected tribe's members who give their advice based off their wealth of life experiences. A Chief is chosen by a tribal consensus out of responsible candidates that the tribe feels that may lead them on to further prosperity. The Tyrran practice for war through the use of games designed to hone their combat skills. These games are friendly, but can often be dangerous. Lively betting can be expected before each race. Races are also often used to settle disputes between tribe members or between tribes.

Rules of Magic Wizardry Wizards, magic users of the world, masters of unparalleled power and knowledge. Wizards create their magical effects through the use of spells that are either read directly or committed to memory. Although they are limited in the effects they can achieve due to the lack of time or the spells they know they are never limited in the amount of times they can cast them. Although they must be careful as mistakes can be dangerous. Task Checks for spells are made by rolling Intelligence + Spell Craft Example:

Sorcery Sorcerers are the rarest of all magic users as all of the magic is not performed by spells, but by force of will. Effect Points: WILL x 10 Willpower + Spell Craft Example:

Spell Creation: Spell creation is actually very easy and highly encouraged in the setting. Spells can be as creative and detailed as you wish to make them. All that is necessary is to follow the creation guidelines and provide the following details. Effects: The desire of every spell is to create an effect, or create an outcome whenever the spell is cast. When creating a spell the most important step is deciding the effect you want achieved, do want something simple

214

such as creating light within a certain area, or, do you want to have the spell alter something about your character. No matter what, the effect is the first step. Duration: How long does the effect of the spell last? Does it last a specific amount of time once cast, or does it last a number of rounds based on your success in casting? Casting time: How long does it take to cast the spell? Is it instantaneous once said, or is it complicated and takes time to prepare? Does it require components for its completion or just the spoken words? Side Effects: What happens if the spell goes wrong? Is it just dispelled and does not work or does it have a side effect for a critical failure? The more complicated or dramatic the effect the spell has the more critical the side effect should be. Creation Task Check: How long will it take to create the spell and many successes may be required to do it? These checks are made by rolling you INT + Spell craft but do not create an effect, they are merely used to gain successes and to show long it may take to create the spell and should be determined by an agreement with the Director of the game. Important Note: Once a spell is created its effects and requirements are set and can not be altered unless the player goes through the extra creation time to alter it. Otherwise the player must create a new spell for the new effect desired.

_____________ JUPITER RISING Far Future Extended Future Jupiter Rising follows a R.J. calendar year. R.J. – Rise of Jupiter The R.J. calendar year is as accounted by the Order of the Second Sun. Intro-

“This is your first time in the Tower of the Suns is it not?” “Yes.” “Are you surprised by what you see?” “Yes.”

“Good, for the world is not what you see either. I see you do not believe me, don’t worry, you will. When you arrived I’m sure you expected to see a tower full of priests who did nothing but pray for our salvation and track the passage of events.” “Somewhat.” “This is probably the farthest thing from the truth while being the closest at the same time. If you wish to stay I will teach you what we have come to know, if not the door is right behind you.”

259

“I want to know.” “Want?” “Fine, I need to know.” “Good, then we shall begin, but you must be cautious for many of the things you are about to learn the rest of the world is not ready to know.” “It was known as the day of fire...”

Background The Day of Fire It all began with an eerie calm, as if the whole world took a moment of silence. Then as if the moment had passed, the waters of the world suddenly rose up and crashed upon the coastlines with a fury never seen. Leaving those whom hoped to find safety inland assaulted by the very earth itself as it rolled and quaked destroying what lay upon its surface. And as if the violence of the world turning on itself had not been enough, slowly on the horizon a small speck of light appeared and grew until a second sun flared to life altering the Earth and its inhabitants forever. Jupiter, the largest of our planetary neighbors struck by a rogue asteroid of such gigantic proportions it ignited the gas giant into Earth’s second sun. From that moment nothing was the same… The Future… “Get up you lazy wretches! This ore ain’t going to deliver itself!” the burly train leader yelled at the labor scruffs under his command with a few welled placed kicks for inflection. Normally he was a man that did not delight in cruelty but this trip along the Isevendee Road would be his most profitable ever should he make it on time. And since he was only hours away on his last day he wasn’t taking any chances. He swung another kick at a dark form in the predawn light only to be caught off balance as a hand shot and seized his ankle in a cold almost steel-like grip. “I am more than capable of rising on my on train leader, but I thank you for the offer.” A deep voice said as the hand released his ankle.

The Caravaner stared at his only paying traveler as he slowly but smoothly rose from the ground with only a rustle of clothing to signify he had moved at all. Normally he didn’t take travelers, but when the five steel coins dropped in his hand how could he refuse? Even if the man paying was a sandman. “There it is Sir, City of the Suns.” the train leader said tentatively as he pointed towards the horizon where they could see a small city. Its primary features being two towering buildings that stretched their shadows across the rest. “Gods willing we should reach there about sundown.” “Have you ever been to the Tower of the Suns?” the sandman asked. “Tower of the Suns!’ the wagon master blurted out a little too loud for comfort as some of the scruffs turned to look at him their eyes wide. He then dared to step closer to the man next him sidling up to him as close as he could. ‘Why would you want to go such a cursed place?” he asked with a tone of worry, but also excitement in his voice. The sandman looked over at the wagon leader with a slightly strange look on his face. For the scruffs nearby it was enough for them to move along to take their positions as quickly as possible, but their leader stood his ground with his own look just as intent. Not knowing he had just received several points of respect for that very fact. Suddenly without warning the sandman reached down and scooped up his pack of the ground and began to walk to the largest of the nearby wagons. “Time Jonah, time!” he yelled back the man he left behind without looking back. Then after tossing his pack on the wagon he grabbed up one of the tow lines and began to pull with a strength it would have taken four of the more burly scruffs to accomplish. “Time…”the train leader said to himself as the dust of moving wagons began to drift by him. “Time… but how does he know my name?”
