Project C

Goals

• A high fantasy campaign world.
• System agnostic
• Creative commons license.

Design Principles

• Defy the standards
• More real world science
• Magic as evolutionary force
• History from creation of planet through ages
• Non-responsive gods
• No cycle of titans usurped by gods, etc.
• Non-christian-like monotheism
  • A prophet that sounds a bit Jesus-like, but really evil
  • Reaction against monotheism because of this
• Non standard races
• Elemental races, enslaved by others
  • Rebellions and such because of this
• Prophesy important and real
  • Oracle of delphi like
• Many lost cultures, but no "declining empire"
• Heroes can rise to significant power, and alter history
• Logical consequences of magic.
  • Magically conjured materials

Regions

• Continent or region suffering a zombie plague
  • Sealed off by Curtain
  • Inside, all life consumed.
  • Uninfected have to make radical changes to survive when food runs out.
  • Possibly using elemental slaves for sustenance
  • Become undead by choice
  • Over centuries, zombies disintegrate.
  • Locals find cause and cure for plague, but can't penetrate Curtain.
• Continent basically abandoned to magic beasts
  • Sort of a "Lost World" type area, with significant attempts to prevent entry.
  • Once site of magically advanced race.

• Very limited metal. Most weapons and armor use either enchanted stone or "resin" a plastic-like material excreted by some sort of beast that is "farmed" in most parts of civilization.
• During planet formation, two smaller planets that fused in some type of wild magic catastrophe.
