BackSet
The Great Thief Yatagarasu!
So you all meet in a tavern just off of I-84...
Adventurers is a misleading name for you. Your scoundrels. Criminals. Bounty hunters. Junkers. People looking for a quick buck. None of you are adventurers in any sense of the word. But you're here in a tavern. 100 years after the fall of civilization and the rise of a new one.
100 years ago, the magic returned. Everyone was going about their normal days. 2018 had just dawned upon them. And then, wham! Holes appeared in the sky! The magic from the middle ages returned and flowed through the world. People and animals mutated. Buildings crumbled. Unnatural things became natural. And horrors appeared. Eldritch beings that came with the magic. Most of them couldn't make it through the barriers that let the magic through but not the horrors. Like a colander that let water through but not the pasta. Some made it through, though. Detroit, which wasn't a very desirable place before, was made uninhabitable. Greece was completely dominated by a god like entity. The korean peninsula broke off of the continent and sunk. Atlantis rose again. The sahara desert became a sea of liquid sand. You get the picture.
That was all 100 years ago. Humanity has been sent back to the middle ages. So has every other race. In the place of old covilization, new ones have risen. Kingdoms much like the ones of old. Much of the world has changed. And now, here you are. Hanging around an old tavern listening to stories and geting drunk on dwarven ale. Little do you know that you're about to have a wild ride.
GM Notes
Sup. It's me, BackSet. This is an Idea that I recently submitted to the plots for hire thread in the roleplaying discussion sub-forum. But I figured I might as well try to get some mileage out of it.
