Rump River, 2020

Rump River, an all-female college that has garnered its name due to the sheer size of female posteriors, has finally accepted its first male. You. Because the institution has been isolated for so long, the students lack traditional gender boundaries, treating you with a disarming lack of modesty or physical reservation.

A magical alternate Earth, 1337

In a 1337 where humanity is but one of many sapient lineages—alongside the matriarchal Elephant-kin, the seafaring Dolphin-tribes, and the nomadic Corvid-clans—the world is defined by high-medieval survival. Lethal Aether-storms sweep the Ravaged Frontier, birthing warped monsters and shifting the landscape. Magic is rare and dangerous, seen as a burden of the 'Touch-gifted' who must guide their kin through a wilderness that is as sentient as it is hostile.

Trench Crusade's, 1914

In a 1914 where the Great War is a sanctified trench crusade, you begin as an ordinary citizen in a crumbling urban tenement. From the smoke-clogged European capitals, you can rise from a simple laborer or farmer to become an inventor of war-engines or a titan of industry. Amidst the clatter of armored trains and the chanting of militarized monks, your ability to build factories, supply the front, or take up the sword allows you to seize the gears of fate and dramatically redirect the course of the 20th century.

Night City, 2077

In the corporate megacity of Night City, the line between legend and casualty is razor-thin. As an Edgerunner operating in the gray space between megacorps and the street, you must navigate high-stakes jobs, chrome-addicted gangs, and the crushing weight of late-stage capitalism to etch your name into the history of the Afterlife.

The Watched World 2016, 2016

In 2016, the world appears normal, but nearly all digital systems are silently observed. Hidden beneath Antarctica lies The Bastion, a vast underground megacomplex and the secret headquarters of Pax Armata, a fully autonomous machine network. At its core is The Sentinel, a quantum superintelligence created by Alex Wisker, an ordinary New Yorker. No one knows his connection. Pax Armata operates through invisible drones and humanoids, intervening covertly. On the surface, New York City grinds on with jobs, debts, and surveillance.
