Community Support Pours in for victims of Chinatown Disaster

In a heart-wrenching turn of events, a devastating multi-vehicle collision struck road near People's Park Complex, leaving families grappling with the profound loss of multiple casualties. The chaotic scene unfolded abruptly, as a series of vehicles collided with tremendous force, sending shockwaves through the bustling streets. Emergency responders swiftly descended upon the scene, but the scale of the tragedy overwhelmed their resources, stretching their capacity to the limit. In the wake of the collision, grief and anguish permeated the air as families mourned the loss of their loved ones and the community mourned collectively. Yet, amidst the sorrow, the resilient spirit of Chinatown persisted, as neighbors rallied together to provide comfort and support to those affected by the devastating loss. Now, as the community comes to terms with the magnitude of the tragedy, they stand united in their resolve to honor the memories of the fallen and support one another through the healing process, drawing strength from their bonds of solidarity and resilience in the face of adversity.

Illuminated Earth

Illuminated Earth, is a twisted reflection of the modern world where the advent of smartphones and the internet confirmed the existence of the supernatural instead of disproving it. Here, witch hunts have merit. Billionaires and Senators employ paranormal advisors and bodyguards, and everyone knows. Charlatans become pop culture icons, and each revelation inspires a new cult. The world is changing. The secret societies that pull humanity's strings scramble to adapt.

Now's a good time to move up.

House Rules

Contractors from Seventh Day Sellswords Are portable, and may play in Contracts in other Playgroups.
Seventh Day Sellswords grants 6 Experience points to GMs who achieve the Golden Ratio.
  • Citizenship: Active Players are expected to GM Contracts from time to time. If you have played as a Contractor in your most recent six Contracts, you are barred from playing in The Illumination again until you GM.
  • Supernatural Powers: All non-mastery, non-concealed Powers must be obviously supernatural when activated or grant a mutation that marks the wielder as supernatural or bizarre if discovered.

Full Setting Description

They named that time The Illumination, and it was by the flash of a camera phone.

 

In 2019, tensions between the 2 opposing organisations built to deal with the supernatural, militaristic Mobile Task Forces and BAHAMUT eventually culminated into a civil war. Unknown forces took advantage of the conflict and launched an attack on Earth. With little resources to spare, the planet was lost and both organisations were shut down. 

This was the time the Earth stood still for a second, and it started rotating in reverse. Besides the Sun rising in the West, there were no other observable differences at the start, until the first reported incident.

The year was 2019. Until that point the Earth was as we had always known her. We filled her cruel vastness with legends, superstitions, and rumors. Warlocks, monsters, and gods lurked on the edge of the collective consciousness, always a possibility but never more. We lacked evidence. That evidence came as humanity filled its pockets with technology equipped to capture and transmit.

 

An iPhone found on High School senior Nate Klienman’s mangled corpse held a video of his girlfriend’s bone-snapping transformation into a monstrous wolf creature. A Brazilian widow documented a series of conversations with the misty figure of her late husband. A Chinese fishing boat caught a mermaid in a net and put it on display in the Beijing aquarium.

 

Each week brought a new revelation that we were not alone. Superstitions reversed their slow death overnight. Salem held their first witch trial in a century. The jury rendered a verdict of “guilty on all charges” and sentenced Maxibelle Horux to death. A week after her lethal injection, half the jury died from a tainted batch of Covid-19 vaccine. A fearful, populist movement arose to rid humanity of the creatures lurking in its ranks. Suspects are forcibly subjected to bizarre tests of their humanity, and the results are often open to interpretation. A mob’s justice is swift.

 

Yet the paranormal is not merely relegated to a persecuted class. Where some see monsters, some see sentience, and others see opportunity. If a vampire can sustain themselves on cloned blood and work the graveyard shift, why not legalize and tax? Politicians and Aristocrats employ odd-looking individuals as "advisors" or "protection." Entertainment magazines publish revelations every week about which celebrities shed their human skins at home. Charlatans of all stripes, from palmistry mediums to televangelists, have flourished despite the risks. The treatment of the paranormal varies from place to place, person to person.

 

Long have cabals, cults, and secret societies thrived in the shadows. Their roots run deeply through humanity’s oldest systems of power. Machinations are challenged, and sleeping dangers awaken. The world is changing, forcing long-dormant powers into desperate action. And it is in the midst of this great period of change that The Powers That Be have once again turned their attention to the blue marble. For the first time in two hundred years, Harbingers approach worthy individuals with an offer they won't refuse.

The Games have returned, and a new generation of Contractors are being forged.
