This encyclopedia is a free, text-based RPG and collaborative setting. It is a rules light, cinematic game set in a world of near future fantasy. The main themes are environmental sustainability, social consciousness and co-operative creativity.
Our primary goal is to use roleplaying to educate and socialize youth, but it is an in-depth setting that can appeal to role play gamers of all types.
Importantly, it is a wiki-based format which encourages online collaboration and play to create the world's first speculative utopia evolved from fantasy gaming.
