Adventures in Spanning
A PbP game of C°ntinuum: Roleplaying in The Yet using GURPS 4th Edition, run by Daxian. It follows the exploits of a group of novice Spanners as they navigate the intricacies of time travel, paradox management, and the hidden wars that shape the timeline.
Overview
Set in a reality much like our own, but viewed through the lens of Continuum's unique cosmology, the campaign explores the fragile structure of spacetime. Players assume the roles of Spanners — individuals gifted with the ability to travel through time — tasked with preserving the stability of the Yet (the future yet to come) while uncovering secrets both ancient and yet-to-be.
Setting
The primary "corner" (safehouse and social hub) for the characters is located in Milwaukee, WI circa 1999-2010. However, the nature of spanning means adventures take the characters across centuries, continents, and other interesting places.
Key locations include:
- The Corner: A hidden community of Spanners operated under strict protocols to prevent paradoxes.
Major Factions
The Continuum
The primary society of responsible Spanners, devoted to maintaining the Yet and preventing catastrophic paradoxes.
The Narcissists
Rogue Spanners who reject Continuum doctrine, often pursuing personal power and rewriting their own histories at devastating cost.
