Welcome to the future, where magic combines with technology and possibilities are endless; where pop stars are the new gods and media the religion; where dragons and their riders dominate the Earth, cowboys roam the frontier, and pirates rule the skies...

Remnants of the Earth is an original futuristic high fantasy RPG with a broad, unique setting based around the damaged planet Earth (not to be confused with our Earth), the newly terraformed planet Edanith, and the broad, dangerous depths of outer space and its resident space stations.

You don't need any sci-fi knowledge to play here. We follow the Rule of Cool and take the "it works because it does" approach, and the technology isn't too far removed from our own--we've just got space ships and magic. If you're comfortable with a modern setting, you'd be comfortable here, too!

The game is free-form, meaning you're in charge of your character and its destiny. While humans may be the dominant species on Earth, they're certainly not alone out there, sharing space with elves, dragons, djinn, fae, and anything else you can imagine! This is a very open setting and creativity is fully encouraged, so don't be afraid to branch out, take chances, and help develop the universe your characters live in. This is a game where story-telling, character development, and fun is the focus, where players of all skill levels are welcome and original characters of all shapes and sizes are loved.

So go ahead; read up and join us! You know you want to, and we'd love to have you!

Timekeeping!

Welp! People have asked about that little date up at the top of the forum that denotes a season, and we've finally decided to regulate it!

So here's how it'll work.

Time will be split into four seasons: Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Three in-game months will equal one season, while six real-life months will equal one season.

So, essentially, one IRL year will equal two seasons (or six months) in game time. :3 Two IRL years will equal one in-game year.

We'll switch seasons every January 1st and every July 1st.

This will help keep people on the same page--and also ensure that festivals and special holidays can occur regularly instead of having to awkwardly guestimate when an appropriate time would be to introduce a reoccurring holiday/festival. And hey, characters can have birthdays and anniversaries now, even. ;D

You can play threads back in time as far as you like! (Though we do suggest that if you want to RP more than two seasons back, you use the Flashback boards. :3) We also suggest that you do not RP too far ahead. You should only go so far as the end of the current season.

And that's about it! ^^ Hope that makes sense and if you have any questions, feel free to ask!

Teinar's Aftermath

Nov 24, 2011 - 1:42am

Follow-up to Teinar has been breached!

Aside from two casualties and minor wounds, the danger has passed thanks to the quick thinking of Teinar's hunters. Most of the creatures have been killed, though a few are still being rounded up. Teinar's citizens are assured that these stragglers are not currently a danger, too deep in the tunnels to be near any population hubs. Several hunter outfits are working to get that cleaned up.

As for property damage? There has been some structural damage due to the collapsing tunnel and there are crews there currently working to repair the damage and get the tunnel unblocked. Citizens living in the area have been temporarily evacuated to other areas of Teinar until the area is 100% clear.

Imperial

Oct 22, 2011 - 6:31pm

THE DRAGONS OF AEDOLIS SEEK THEIR NEXT IMPERIAL

The Imperial has stepped down, and the dragons of Aedolis hold counsel to promote his successor. Edanith, the nearby space stations, and every independent colony within jump range all hold their breath. The decision the dragons make will ultimately impact diplomacy and war throughout the galaxy. The new Imperial might prove a blessing or a nightmare--or perhaps worse, something they cannot even predict or define. Speculation runs high as to which Royal or Noble will ascend to this highest of ranks.

A SUBTLE GAME UNFOLDS WITHIN THE WALLS OF THE CITADEL

High ranking Pilots make their moves. Some vie for the position, others seek to avoid it. For some, their motivation remains elusive. Inconspicuous and concealed factions form, even among a military population where such division is expected to be anathema.

Ever efficient, Aedolis has transitioned smoothly. The moment the former Imperial stepped down, the highest ranking Royal, Gregory Chastain, assumed leadership of the nation, a role he will retain until the next Pilot Imperial can be found.
