Current Rules: Update
Developed by: Glen Martin and Brian Greeno
Genre
This core set of
rules will cover science/fantasy
RPG action. The rules will allow
for a science-fantasy setting
were Cyborgs and Dwellers live
and conflict with one another.
Magic and technology would be
mixed in a crazy soup. Of course
you can use the rules for pure
fantasy or a giant space opera.
Add in Dimensional Gateways that
open up to all kinds of realms
good, evil, elemental, alien! Let
your imagination run wild.
The GigaDim an
alien universe, or more correctly
a sea of Aether with many
floating island planes. One plane
Zenfar, was populated by
a race of simple humanoids: the
Dwellers. These primitive peoples
lived deep in the safety of
natural caves that dotted the
mountain ranges of their world.
When, in the fullness of time,
they began to develop shelters
above ground, an alien race far
superior to them drove them once
again into the earth.
The alien race
then proceeded to carve the plane
into six sections by way of
magnificent forcefields. These
areas were each populated with
it's own race, culled from places
far removed from Zentar. First,
the humans, a carbon based race
as our own, as well as their
cousins the Suprahumans. The
Throks, creatures made of living
rock. The bestial Warthons. The
Prizms, crystaline in nature. In
the last two compartment they
placed truly wild creatures
(Native Creatures). The Alien
Races left planing to return and
harvest the humanoids and
creatures for food and energy
(Flux).
For generations,
the forcefields remained strong,
and the species remained divided.
The Throk's however, commanding
the power to manipulate the
essence of Zenfar, granting them
powers arcane, came to understand
the fields, and with a mighty cry
demolished all but one. This cry
has since been known as The
Chant.
The humanoids
began to interact in a violent
way. There were many wars, death,
and destruction. Eventually the
humanoids learned to live in
peace together, however many of
the weapons and abilities used in
the wars still exist. Now, in a
world still troubled by ancient
anxiety, as the Throks prepare to
utter one last Chant and rid the
world of it's final barrier, the
Aliens make their way to reap the
fruit of their labor...
