>What is this?
A new quest, set in the fantastical world of Lodestar. Details about the setting will be revealed in time, though I'll also release some infodumps depending on which character you decide to choose. Each of them knows a various amount, with Tabula Rasa obviously knowing very little. You play as a friendly Blue Pirate at the start of their adventure, intent on rising to the top through riches and infamy. In the process, you'll explore the world I've built, fight forces both Human and Monstrous, forge friendships and bonds with those you meet along the way, and uncover the conspiracies that seek to upset the balance of the world.
>What system are we using?
A modified version of ORE- the One Roll Engine. If you play in Present Mic's My Hero Academia Quest, you may already be familiar with how it works. It boils down to: Roll a pool of d10s, look for matching numbers. The rest is stuff that I'll personally worry about!
>Can you give me a quick rundown of the setting, at least?
Sure! You can think of Lodestar as being set in a 'hollow' world, specifically taking place on the inside of it. If you fly far enough up, you'll reach the other side of the world. Sitting high up in the sky, in the center of the world, is a massive liquid sphere called the Core, which radiates a brilliant golden light during the day and slowly shifts to a duller blue light at night. There is no sun or moon here, only the Core! Magic is plentiful, to the point where people themselves are made of Mana and disperse into it when slain. This mana always seems to float up and away towards the Core, so that the person's essence can rejoin with the world.
>Is this inspired by anything?
Quite a few things, but most of all it's inspired by Skies of Arcadia. If you haven't played it, go play it! It's a fantastic game with a fantastic vibe. This setting is still original, however, so don't go into it thinking that this is a Skies of Arcadia quest - it's not!
