Authors Notes
This story is a Solo Roleplaying Adventure adapted from GURPS Technomancer. Using a mix of GURPS Classic and 4th Edition Supplements, and several of The Mook’s Streamlined rules. For An Oracle I used the always erudite Mythic Game Master Emulator. More on tools in a future post. I chose Technomancer because I’ve always been fascinated by Urban Fantasy settings, and this was thee only GURPS book to do it well. Where I differ from Technomancer is in how I view the legal and cultural reaction to the discovery of Magic in 1945.
Pulver the author of Technomancer seems to portray that the US would be broadly accepting of Magical People and Animal/Human Hybrids. No one who is actually familiar with the social history of this era thick as it was in the Nadir of Race Relations could remotely believe the optimistic picture he sets out. No the discovery of Magic by the Military Industrial Complex in the climate of the late 1940s. Would lead to a dark dystopian world dominated by greed and strife.
But I find such worlds as that to be rather boring, not to mention emotionally exhausting to write about. So I decided to write about a world in the aftermath of a successful uprising against a Dystopian Regime. This is a story of hope, rebuilding, and righting wrongs the ones of the past and the Injustices that remain.
A note on Technology Level: In GURPS terms my universe ranges from TL5 to TL10 all with the addition of Magic. The reasons for this will become clear in future installments. But for now it is sufficient to note that terminology for various objects is quite different from what it is in our world. For example an Airship is a sailing ship with flight capabilities.
