This wiki serves as a draft document for my various campaign settings for tabletop roleplaying games.

 

The Trailblazers campaign setting is a steampunk-and-sorcery world for Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition, focused on exploration and new frontiers.  This fantasy world stage resembles Earth in the 1890s -- with a dash of Jules Verne in the cities, Wild West on the plains, and fantasy mythology hiding around every corner.  Technology is Industrial-era but only in widespread use for simple, everyday items.  Magic is studied as a science and harnessed with technology, but primarily as an energy source.  Humanity is the new kid on the block; they recently arrived on a continent that everyone else has been sharing for centuries.  Their arrival has signaled three things: an age of techology, an age of exploration, and an age of frequently strained, but currently civil, diplomatic relations between the races, as humans make the world feel ever-smaller to others.

 

The bitShiFt campaign setting is a cyberpunk future for the San Francisco Bay Area, adapted from the Shadowrun 4th Edition setting.  Reeling from ten years of corporate-military occupation, San Francisco is still working to revive its colorful and varied cultures and communities.  The massive, extranational corporations rebuilding neighborhoods, however, don't always see eye to eye.  With the out-and-out corporate warfare of the last few years fresh in their board members' minds, these corps settle their difference with subtle acts of sabotage and espionage, contracted out to third parties running in the shadows.  Plenty of people willing to hire this secret network, but few are willing to divulge their true intentions.  Add in an internet-immersed culture where every homeless bum on the street has a VR-equipped smartphone, racial tensions from humanity's evolutionary branching, and societal concerns about those who exhibit supernatural "talents", and life for a runner in 2070 is anything but simple.

 

PLEASE NOTE:  The format of the average page on this wiki is that of a twisted jumble of random notes I've made.  It's disjointed, only mildly organized, and some notes will directly contradict each other.  If you see some hook or item you'd like to see fleshed out, leave a comment!  I'll try to work on those areas first.
