(There’s a lot of ground to cover in this, bear with me.) The year is 2182. It has been twenty-five years since the Relay 314 incident, where humanity made themselves known and had a brief but remembered conflict with the Turians and the Saiyans. Now, an Arcosian diplomat has put forth...

Well I'm a newcomer here still but on Giants we like to use a BIG 16 for the most general questions, rules, and ideas. So take a look at these before actually delving into the campaign setting to see if you are interested. Coming this weekend when I have more time off I will be making a thread...

Humanity's Manifest Destiny In the late 1970's, both the United States and the Soviets relied on computer systems to detect possible nuclear attacks. But while the new technology was more sophisticated, it also came with a fresh set of risks in the form of false alarms and glitches.one of these...

They say this world is one of balance. For all you gain, you have to give something in return. It may look as if one could bypass this simple rule, but in the end, fate will always get its due. If you believe in this, they say, then the fall is no surprise. With every road built, it would move a...

The Spire of Eternity - The skeleton of a great serpent wrapped around the base of what looked to be a broken tower. A lone guardian who even in death protected its charge from those without courage. In its prime The Spire was fabled to reach the heavens themselves. Any who entered and reached...

Prologue: This Fragile Peace 7:23 AM Sitting alone in a room of flickering lights, with one leg arched and one stretched out, is what appears to be a young woman. Covered head to toe in a predominantly grey biker-like uniform with brown accents, the thickness of it hides her chest's...

Greetings SV, I was inspired fairly recently to start working on a novella as an exercise in writing discipline. I had been a GM of tabletop games for a while but my games had suffered from my complacency and lack of preparation/thematic coherence. After going on a hiatus, I decided to write a...

Living in the continent Atlantis is pretty okay. At the very least the locale in the southwest inland in the southern hemisphere is pretty tame to the nomadic colonists that manage to take root in such a place. Plenty of land, rivers, lakes, animals to hunt, resources, protection from the outer...

2190 AD. On a routine exploration mission, science vessel FMM UV discovered a planet with a suitable climate for humankind. During the initial scouting expedition this young planet, code-named FMM UV-32, was declared inhospitable for colony life due to its unstable terrain and immense population...

Day 1 If you are reading this, then I am dead. I am vaguely aware that obituaries are written by the deceased's kin after the fact, but I have decided to be a bit more proactive in that regard. I doubt any of the seagulls above me or the crabs below would deign to write such a thing, the...

You wake up to the bothersome feelings of planetary reentry, and are confused. The Prime Crystal shouldn’t be anywhere near a planet, last you’d checked in with the navigation sector. There certainly hadn’t been any announcements to do so. Theres absolutely no responces to your attempt at...

To Boldly Go... A Starfleet Quest Admiral’s Log, Starfleet HQ, Stardate 20512 Today marks my first day serving in my new role as the head of Starfleet. The Federation has invested an awesome responsibility in me, one I intend to live up to. It is a new century now, with the dawn of the...

Instead of those two continents, there is only a vast expanse of water, with a few atolls and volcanic islands like in the South Pacific. ROB makes history be more or less the same (obvious things like the Vikings not finding Vinland, or Columbus' expedition vanishing without a trace) until...

SETTING THE STAGE One would expect the story of the Chronarchs to begin in the following way: "In the farthest reaches of the spacetime continuum, there is only war". However, it is much more complicated than that. The best one could hope for is mere war. Because war is not the only issue...

Well, time to admit defeat. I have writers block, so my other quest, Mighty Snake No. 9 (Frozen/Disney), is going on Hiatus for a while. This quest is going to be very informal, and entirely narrative. No dice rolls or rules, just what I (Or the players, through canonized omakes) think is...
