It was an RPG, a long time ago, set in a bizarre far-future world. Now, I'm going to be writing a novel set in the same universe, and running more games. This is our sourcebook. If you've got imagination and stuff, please help me write it :) '''Current Events''': * [[User:Angel|Angel]]'s has a [[:Category:Games Seeking Players|number of RPGs]] ready to run, either in Lancaster or with the Tabletop Forge online environment. =Read Me First= Before adding some things, at least check out: * The most powerful organisation is the [[Church]]; ** They prefer a 'hands off' approach and don't micro-manage the affairs of every planet, so there are still occasionally wars. ** The only law that is common between all planets is [[Ecclesiastical Law]]. ** The [[Bible]] has changed beyond recognition from anything in the present day * Other powerful factions include the [[Federation of Known Worlds]] and [[Vermendanyan Empire]]. * The current year is 842 by the [[Divine Calendar]]; the years count down, and [[:Category:History|recorded history]] is mixed in with mythology beyond the last few centuries. * Some planets have their [[:Category:Language|own languages]], but most people speak [[Esperanto]] * There is no [[Alien life]] ... but there's a few items being discovered that suggest there once was * Travel between planets is by [[Temple ship]] or [[discontinuous transit]] - the distance between two stars is never important. * Technology is not considered mystical or magical, just complex, in the majority of places and by the great majority of people. * All in all, for most people, life is pretty good, if a little boring. * When things get out of the ordinary, they tend to spiral out of control rapidly. =names= A few names which may need clarifying: *Terra Quest - An RPG on which the new version of TQ is based *TQ - The current name for the universe we're creating, until we think of something better *Terra - Where TQ meets earth. This wiki. =Start Here= To start editing, you'll probably want to edit an existing page or add a page in one of the following categories. ==The Backgrounds== *[[:Category: Technology]] - Sciences, and things that people have made *[[:Category: Cartology]] - Planets, stars and cities; all the places you could go *[[:Category: Theology]] - Religion, the church, and mythology *[[:Category: Sociology]] - People, culture and history ==The Game== At some point in the future, these categories will be used to document the rules systems I use to run TQ. *[[:Category: Ludography]] - Dice mechanics and other rules *[[:Category: Biography]] - Characters, character sheets and roleplaying *[[:Category: Tragiography]] - Drama, plotting and how to run a game tt450alsxwbjd6tfnvspee2bvlqln2t
