Since yesterday, I already managed to cry on the pillow because of the defeat, it's time to split up your idea. Cosmogony was established at 2h before the end of the competition. So I went completely in the wild (Ie after sawedżowemu) and I am not surprised that I did not get on. In total, however, the contest was won, because he dialed up on their own idea. Therefore, at the end of scraps two videos and a small promise. And if Cosmogony in the form that it received an email Enc.
Cosmogony
When a volcanic eruption destroyed situated on the Aegean island of Thera seemed that this is the end of civilization living there. However, due to predictions of oracles, the Greeks had time to prepare for the impending disaster. After centuries of searching, finally won from the visitors from another world, extraordinary technology. When the lava from a volcano exploding fuel tanks filled first star galley, with residents Thery on board, left the island molded sea waves. After years of wandering through the universe, finally arrived to the galaxy, where they decided to live. Era of Greek colonization of outer space has begun.
passed since that time several hundred years. Native planet the Greeks began to przeludniać. It is time to seek new land. In these interesting times to live heroes. Armed with spears energy, driving force for turborydwanach bring democracy. The elegant gowns, plastic, dorsal e-paper under their arms proclaiming revolutionary theories. On the sunny decks of sailing ships, fearing the asteroid fields, wander the universe. Are his actions deserve to be called heroes and a place in mythology?
Introduction
Cosmogony This setting combines elements of science fiction (with a touch of cyberpunk) and heroic fantasy in a way known, for example, Star Wars. Saga by George Lucas draws on the achievements of many cultures, especially in medieval Europe - in addition to guns still used there, spears, and crossbows shoot laser Belts. My setting is focused on the new presentation of the history of ancient Greece, especially the period of the Persian wars, and myths.
Convention
players in the world of Heroes is a unique Cosmogony, true mythical heroes. Stand out among hundreds of other inhabitants of the galaxy, and their actions have a major impact on the fate of the world. Setting therefore support the heroic play in the convention.
But even as we know from Greek myths, which draws handfuls Cosmogony, even heroes often lose or even die. Achilles is hit in the heel, Hercules dons the mantle poisonous, and Orpheus decides to take a look the Eurydice. While the myth that treatment had an important function of teaching, so much the tale of heroes roleplaying game high possibility of failure can spoil the fun of the game. That is why my setting, but heroism is set to filmowość. The heroes are the main actors of the play, which is an adventure. Most of oppression come out in one piece, and they can only beat a really strong opponent. Savage Worlds mechanics will help a lot in the attainment of that objective.
game world
game is set in space, in a distant galaxy from the solar system Heliońskiej, consisting of a large number of planets orbiting massive stars, Helion, in which the visceral May the gods supposedly his kingdom. Six of them were colonized by the Greeks and named names of those entities. They are:
- ruled by the military regime Ares;
- democratic Athena, a center of culture and art;
- industrial Hephaestus;
- Agricultural Demeter;
- entirely covered by water, full floating cities Poseidon;
- dark Hades, ruled by artificial intelligence.
All characters come from one race, they are people, differ among themselves but because of their origin. Each planet has acquired some blessing from his deity, which translates into the ability of its people.
addition to the known planets in the galaxy comes up a lot of uninhabited planets. Part of them due to weather conditions not suitable for life, while many may be colonized. Establishment of colonies on the new land was the main topic of the planned campaign Laurel. Cosmogony gives the heroes a chance to create their own image a vast galaxy.
Somewhere lurking in the depths of the galaxy is also evil. Ksenosi humanoid, with a god-emperor at the head of their role as historical Persians. Come to life when the expansion of the Greeks is becoming a reality, and to conquer the six planets. This race unplayable serves as the main enemy heroes.
accordance with the principle of top-down design now turn to specific locations in settingu. Generally, it can be described as a mish-mash of ancient science fiction. The Greeks, after leaving Earth, they decided never to abandon its tradition to the next generations will not forget from where they derive their roots. Therefore, the development community on all planets proceeded along two lines: the technology was going ahead rapidly, while the tradition is to calibrate it. For example, after moving space energy can be fed by Helion galleys, instead of slaves every Greek has droid, warriors use of light-headed spears and shields with the force field, and the marble bas-reliefs, instead tympana holographic projectors are installed. In building the scenery of the world does not count the realism, but the climate that builds combining elements of antiquity and modernity.
adventurous themes
adventures in the Cosmogony of topics can be divided into two types: related to the history of ancient Greece and its myths.
The first focus to explore new lands and establish new colonies, or becoming involved in the case of already existing, as well as playing an important event in the history of Hellas. Example: Heroes help in building a modern temple to Athena in honor of its patron saint, whose decoration is to be endowed with artificial intelligence monument.
second type of adventure is a new version of the events of mythology. Example: The heroes must find the Golden Fleece - an extremely valuable and durable metal.
These motifs can be heavily modify and combine together to further development of the adventure does not become too obvious to players who know the original versions of myths and historical events.
mechanics use
Cosmogony not introduced to the mechanics of Savage Worlds is too radical changes. There will be adapted to settingu advantages, perhaps Zawada, powers and beasts. In addition, the statistics will be introduced as a new feature: Origin. It reflects the level of zżycia the hero of his native planet. This is an important issue in a world where every moment form A new community. Athenian colony, although it lives on another planet, all the time is linked to their homeland - they combine the commercial and political contacts. Another aspect that reflects the new feature are the likes and dislikes of individual "countries". For example, tough, combative aresjanie do not like the gentle and pacifist Athenians, have for the sympathy of living by the rules and regulations, created by artificial intelligence hadesjan. Mechanical origin resulting in penalties and bonuses for the tests, related to contact with representatives of native, hostile, or friend of the planet, but also knowledge of the wildlife and technology. Will also appear in the requirements for various advantages.
Summary
Cosmogony this setting using the classical, deeply engrained in the culture themes such as myths and events in the history of ancient Greece in a new and unconventional ways. I think that will satisfy fans of many types of fiction, it draws inspiration from various sources. Moreover, his idea is not too complicated, so You can easily present it to new players. I think Cosmogony has the potential to fill a rather untapped niche in the market for hitherto RPG.

End.
