One with magic no, 2026

ROTK, 190

In 190 CE, the Han capital Luoyang is a collapsing stage for the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. The child emperor sits under the shadow of Dong Zhuo's sword, while ministers scheme, generals march, nobles bargain, and warlord rulers eye the throne from beyond Hulao. Every title, marriage, edict, and grain cart is a political weapon, and the city burns with rumor, ambition, and violence.

Germany, 1935

Starting on December 11th, 1935, you enter the soot-thick air of the Ruhr Valley. Whether toiling in the coal dust of a factory floor, managing a family farm, or navigating the machinery of local politics, your path leads toward the high-stakes world of state contracts and technological breakthroughs. Between 1935 and 1945, you can amass wealth in Reichsmarks, invent history-altering machinery, or build a personal industrial empire, all while balancing the rigid demands of a nation preparing for total war.

Germany, 1941

In March 1941, an unidentified celestial object impacted the Rhineland, carrying a mutagenic pathogen termed Necrosis Rabies. As a resident of a rural hamlet near the impact site, you have precisely one week to stockpile rations, fortify shelter, and navigate the rigid pressures of wartime Germany before the first 'biters' emerge from the crash site. The infected are driven by a metabolic frenzy and must consume flesh to avoid expiration.

The Tangle of Chionthar, 1492

In the dense, magical periphery of the Wood of Sharp Teeth near Baldur's Gate, the reach of the Flaming Fist is thin. Settlers and outcasts struggle against encroaching fey-corrupted flora and the economic squeeze of city-state tariffs while surviving on the edge of the Coast Way.

The Waking City, 2026

Modern New York is a city where magic is real, rare, difficult, valuable, and quietly integrated into society. Magic has no single universal system. It responds to disciplined ways of interpreting reality: ritual, science, law, art, faith, technology, crime, or business. As the city reaches critical symbolic density, the line between a legal contract and a binding ritual has dissolved, and the pressure of eight million competing ambitions is causing the mundane world to buckle.

Westeros The Winter of, 298

King's Landing at the end of the long summer. The capital is bloated with refugees, shifting political loyalties, and the rising cost of bread as the Reach begins to tighten its grip on the food supply.
