The Judges of Tehom

This is a Setting in progress by RPGnet user Nick the Nevermet.

Parameters

I am making this with a (weak) assumption that I will be using Heroquest to run it. As such, I am going to describe the game & setting as Robin Laws suggests one does in the "Parameters" section early in the book.

Genre

Hero-Kings of high tech city states in a world with supernatural forces reminiscent of "Lost".

Setting

• Tehom is a world that was settled and terraformed generations ago. The project (and the colonists) were abandoned when the world's psychic consciousness took notice of humanity and began to resist terraforming efforts.
• Society has since stabilized, though the Raquiya System and the planet Tehom are still cut off from interstellar human civilization.
  • A thin band of ocean and islands near the equator have been fully terraformed, though the colder reaches of the planet are a hybrid of the planet's original ecology and the Terran one engineered by humans.
