The next adventure

Now that Esai is out of the way you begin the next Chapter of your epic adventure! The storyline will be broken up into three, perhaps four, distinct locations or places in time. There will be an element of confusion brought on by this, but rest assured that is all an intentional part of the aesthetic of the story. The storyline itself becomes part of the mystery that must be solved.

Much of the inspiration for these next events is unabashedly stolen/influenced by Alastair Reynolds work. I mention this outloud because his fans have found this blog and ripped the image of the lighthugger I rendered and have plastered it all over the internet. So, I would not be fooling anyone if I pretended these coming chapters in the game were all original ideas. I am sure that as soon as you all interact with the universe you will cause plot strings to spiral off into unknown territory. But I am choosing this derivative starting point because of the overall strength of the plot and how well it fits with all that has come before.

I will update the game’s informational website with terms concerning people, places, and technology to help you orient yourselves. You’ll have questions, so don’t hesitate to ask!

You will start in the Glitter Band around Yellowstone. I have found an updated spreadsheet form for your characters and now all I need is your current character info to get everything updated and back to you.
