Fate Breaker's interest thread
I just got this idea earlier today and so I am going to toss it out. Also I wouldn't mind having a Co-GM if this is going to get big.
The Plot: The year is 2786 and man is about to kill themselves. War is about it and technology has advanced far beyond that of nuclear weapons. Has the countries end their last debates and hit the big shiny red buttons, man realizes they have damned themselves, and the Apocolaypse begins. Fate has decreed that the rein of man ends on the this day, but a desperate attempt to save humanity is employed. Activating a prototype time-machine, a select group of men and women are sent through 300 years in the future, 50 years beyond the time it would take the radiation to clear up. Though this is one of the firsts attempts at time-travel, so what actually happens is only for the group to find out. As they travel, they hit a snag of sorts and come upon what looks like a a white room with a pedastool with giant book. When they look at the book, it is called the book of fate, and once they learn of the fate of man, their time travel time ends and are thrown out of the time machine 300 years in the future. After the group checks their equipment and insures it works, they open the doors and head out into a new world.
The Characters: This is were it gets fun. Man has acheived a point of almost pure mixture of technology and magic. If your a magic user, you probable have a staff designed to allow absorbing energy from the air or something along those lines. If your an all out warrior, you would have implants too allow incredible strength as in you could pick up a car and throw it at someone. If your a mix of both, don't expect to be quite as strong or magical. Though the only race you can be is human, since this is a survival of man.
The Enemies: Not only will you have to take on what new species has inhabited this world, but your going against fate itself. At first it will be quite easy, but then it will seem everything in the world will be against you, and when you past that, then Fate will pull out what should not be to get you.
That is a general idea of the thing, and if there is a good deal interest I'll start thinking up more specific ideas and such. I also want to ask if you are willing to go with an aging and eating system? Your character must have kids, for they will age and die, if you don't, you lose. If your character doesn't eat for a day, well you should know what happens to you if you don't eat. Though you can have implants to make your metabolism slow down to wear you only need to eat once a week.
