THE FALLEN

Humanity has survived The Fall and The Flight and now hundreds of light years toward the galactic core a few
million work to achieve prosperity and security. Nearby rage the reunification wars of the Kentaurans, a species
whose interstellar empire collapsed before the rise of modern man and which rediscovered the means of interstellar war just before The Flight led man to New Canaan. The war between the Syfolan Alliance and Kentaurus Pact threatens to drag the entire sector of space into anarchy. Toward the rim the Outsiders have survived their own flight, and now the dark twin of New Canaan society lurks on the horizon, their xenophobic admirals probing slowly further out into space for signs of danger.

An original RPG by Eli Arnold. This roleplaying game is free. I'm putting everything I've created for it here on this site for your use. I ask only one thing. Tell me how you've altered the rules, send me designs of weapons and planets and civilizations and I'll post them here. E-mail me at eliarnold3@yahoo.com

History and Setting


I'm ready to die now, but theres this nagging part of me which says I've this one duty left to fulfill and that I have to do it the hard way. No brain dump for me, I'm sitting down with real paper and pen to record how this all came to pass. They tell me I'm the only one qualified to tell this story, but I don't believe it. Yes, I was there from beginning to end, but many others were there nearly as long. Well, in the end it matters little, they're refusing to put anything down until after I've finished my part of it and I'm just arrogant enough to let them bully me into being the storyteller for more than a thousand years of human history.

QUOTES
These will hopefully help give you a feel for the game.

"For now the Centaurs are moving on a track parallel to that of humankind. Our populations are intermixed and we share local institutions, but there is every reason to believe that in time they may diverge from us. The databanks of the Centaur Seedship contained the histories of a once widespread and mighty Centaur Civilization. Little is yet known about what the histories contain as there are too few of us to cover such a great amount of data. One day our populations will grow large enough to support a serious attempt at investigating this dead civilizations records and it seems possible the social forms and organization of the distant past will become appealing once more.

New Canaan: The seat of humanity.
The Outsiders
Xenophobic militarist, the only known survivors of the Marauder attack other than those at New Canaan.
Notes on the Centaurs
Humankinds partner in flight, the Centaurs are an integral part of this new society. Learn how many sexes they have and why their form of sign language is so damn hard to follow.
Notes On The Kentaurans
One of the three major non-human sentient species.
Notes on the Sandlings
When humans arrived on the scene Sandlings were just beginning to industrialize their planet they affectionately call Garden. (What Sandlings consider a garden, most humans would call desert.)

Check out my site that provides a detailed example of how MMORPGs could be redesigned to focus on their strengths: social interaction and player manipulated environments, instead of rat killing and repetitive leveling.
