WarSpike: Settings

This is a collection of concept building blocks for WarSpike sci-fi and fantasy game settings. Still in its prototype stages. The blocks allow you to build a game universe and tailor it to you own requirements. It is a development of the 'flexible background theory'. The idea is to construct a meta-framework that can explain away anything!

 

This is an 'open' game-setting and background meta-framework for the WarSpike system. It is a re-purposing of many of the concepts I have used in my Philverse fan fiction for 40K. The same concepts that power 'Philverse', a framework that is adaptable enough to explain 40K, is also used here. The framework includes a number of setting for various genre. The core framework is the generic 'Sciror' which includes a lot of sci-fi and technology. This galactic scale setting covers the whole universe, and all other genre/ setting are sub-sets within Sciror.

Sciror - a Sci-fi/ Horror meta-framework

The flavour of Sciror is 'sci-fi' with a underlying horror vibe (think Cthulhu Mythos), and where Sciror derives its name: Sci-fi + Horror = Sciror. The foundation concepts of this framework deal with the structure of the game universe and what is possible, and how the various sci-fi and supernatural effects work in principle, the 'game physics', and introduces the concept of the 'Infinity'. It can cater to both hard sci-fi and fantasy or hybrids of the two. Any setting can be built within Sciror, and every known setting, genre or game world ever made can be incorporated into it's structure (using the multi-verse), and any cross over is possible. Fundamentally the base Sciror universe is a hard Sci-Fi setting.

Stare Into The Abyss

A sci-fi/ fantasy hybrid sub-setting within the Sciror framework. This is a 'Grimdark' setting. An Empire of humans are retaking the stars. The human's base of operations is a 'Paradise World', similar or could be Earth, and therefore they are all distant descendants of corporate executives. They do not know or understand the advanced technology of the Artilects, or the billions of other human colonies in the galaxy. They are also unaware of horror that awaits them and their logical minds.

Twistasy

A fantasy sub-setting within the Sciror framework, with a strong fantasy vibe and intended for settings on a single (isolated) world. A collection of component parts for shaping fantasy settings using WarSpike. Twistasy is a sandbox base setting, with all kinds of creatures and beings form myth but 'twisted' to make a new world outside conventions.
