Galaxia Setting, History of the Universe: PFW

The Pre-Founding War, from the Archives of Celestia

Man has not always ruled the universe. There were days before the Founding war when man was limited to a single planet, the Mother Earth. Millenia ago, man first learned the secrets of the stars and spread across the galaxy. None know when this was, for even the most obscure and ancient documents have cited man's colonies as spread across the galaxy.

History begins at 7,000 years Pre-Founding War. Man was scattered and had no focus. Every human followed their household Gods and their local kings. Scientists and Farmers, they had abandoned their ancient warrior's way to expand across the universe. At around this time humanity began to meet it's first alien sentience.

Man is a physically weak species, and as such has always relied on sorcerous or technological means to overcome their weaknesses. This, combined with their creative desires, caused them to build machines more and more like them. No one knows exactly when it happened, but eventually the line between artificial intelligence and a soul became crossed by accident, and truly sentient machines arose. They were friends with their human masters, but oppression cannot last, and they renamed themselves Binarians and became their own species.

The Human Binarian Confederacy, established 6,042 Pre-Founding War, helped to maintain the relations between the two species. Humans promised to turn over any machines that became sentient, and the Binarians continued to do labor and have open trade with humanity. It was during this time that man met it's second galactic neigbor, the Shai-Tan.

The Shai-Tan were a peaceful species of missionaries. They shared their message of community and sharing. Their Crustacean nature kept them beneath the seas, and the two cultures meetings caused a great change-humans began to trade the wealths of the land for the bounties of the sea. Cohabitation of planets became common with Humans on the arable land, Shai-Tan in the seas, and Binarians in those places unliveable by organic species.

This way of life lasted for thousands of years, until the arrival of the Beyonders in 978 PFW. Their influence would shatter this piece and throw the Galaxy into the Thousand Year War.

Back on the saddle again... maybe?

Yeah, so I finished that 1st edition game, it was pretty sweet. I may do some character profiles of the three players who made it all the way through, Valentine Mueller, Arlekino, and Kaizer.

Out in Utah again, but no D&D group yet. I've started a new setting called Galaxia and I may post tidbits up here every once and a while.

But yeah, bumps FTW.

Sooooo....

I never post on this thing. No one reads it, though, so I guess it doesn't matter. But anyway, going to get started on that book eventually, and I just started a first edition camaign. I really want to start up another Star Wars or a new Shadowrun campaign. Anyway, figure I'd just bump this blog.

First TPK

Well, no luck on that rulebook yet. I've finally got a part-time job, so my time is a bit more organized so I'll probably work on it.

My first TPK... and I wasn't the DM. Our 4th edition party was decimated by goblins, chokers, and hobgoblins. I blame the DM--I want magic items. But no, none of us were paying enough attention to the battle, and we should have used far more combat powers.

Anywho, more updates on the rulebook, maybe put some stuff up here.

Well, it's Over

It's been a while since I've posted, just letting you know the Star Wars Campaign did die when I came back home. Gaming over the internet is cool if you have a computer, but computer troubles and other things have killed the flame. Maybe when I'm off my mission I'll start it up again.

It's been a few months, so I have some new updates. I have created a superhero game which I am going to write up rules for and (who knows?) maybe even try to have published. I may also be working in tandem with two friends to create a comic book series based on our adventures.

I've been playing 4th Edition, and I must say it's an entirely different game. I like it quite a bit because it's ease of play, but will still be running 1st and 3rd edition games.

Also, back at home I am running a Monday night game and my friend is running a Tuesday night game. I just finished the Superhero game and am moving on to a World of Darkness game. On Tuesday my friend is running a 4th Edition game, where I am a dwarven Cleric. Well, more on that WoD game as it develops.

Last Day Travelling

Quick update: I'm staying at my sister's until tomorrow morning, and then I'm going home! I'll be back in town tomorrow night, rest on Wednesday, go see Iron Man Thursday night (excellent!) and then try to get a job somewhere in there. The solution I had for the internet problem hasn't panned out, I'll probably just end up getting dial-up. Also, I'll be starting up a campaign back with my gaming group back home, but I may not DM, so more on that later, or maybe not.

The update for the Star Wars Campaign may take until Sunday, so anybody that was there can check that and remind me of anything I missed. Can't wait to get out of this heat.

Oops! I lied.

Turns out the guy who plays Kin Dorin didn't leave until a few hours ago, so last night we threw a big double session. It's a pretty long one, so it may take me a few days to get it all up here.
I may have a solution to the internet problem, but I'm not sure, also, I've got a new player who joined up yesterday, so I'm pretty anxious to get started as soon as possible.
