[[Category:Planarch Effect]][[Category:Dungeon World]]

Planarch Effect is a PbP game run on the RPG.net forums, set in a universe inspired by Spelljammer and the Mass Effect games.

We follow the adventures of the first human Spectre, Morgan the Cruel, and her motley band of associates as they work together to save the universe from horrors beyond the dragon-gates...

== Introduction ==

''In the year 742AE, sorcerers of the Seven Kingdoms discovered the relics of an ancient civilization, hidden beneath the jungles of Bah Rai Soom. These relics would unlock magical secrets that would change humanity forever. The basis of these secrets were a set of spells that controlled the very fabric of the astral dimensions.

''They called it the greatest discovery in human history.

''The races of the planes call it... the '''Planarch Effect'''.

*'''The Human-Myrmidon War''' - The Seven Kingdoms discover astral-jamming sorcery, and use it to expand into the Astral Sea. Their use of such dangerous sorcery attracts demonic attention to several Myrmidon realms, and sparks a brief war between the Seven Kingdoms and the Myrmidon Free Republics, which is settled by the Peace of Tarsus.
