For as long as anyone can remember, the City has always been one of the largest metropolitan centers in the world. It has had its share of glory and decline, but none so great as the age following the founding of OzCorp. Michael Ozma was no man of magic, but he might as well have been, for the technological wonders he wrought.
Today, however, the Gilded Age is long past. OzCorp, now led by Ozma's three daughters, has become corrupt, and the City has fallen from its glory days. Crime and drugs now rule the streets, though some aristocrats continue to live above it all.
Inspired by folk-lore and fairy-tales, Not So Far Away is a unique Role-Playing World that brings characters from fairytale, folklore, and mythology from around the world together into an ever-expanding universe.

What happens to the old gods, once their temples have crumbled and their believers have abandoned them? Do they die, forsaken, alone? Or do they remain, still wandering the world, immortal, surviving off what little belief they can gather?
Forgotten Gods follows the lives of these old deities, brought to America long ago by explorers or immigrants from their homelands and eventually abandoned or lost from memory. As their worshippers moved on to new religions, the gods' powers waned - for a god, at its most pure essence, is no more than an idea, and an idea is worthless if there is nobody to believe in it. Some have passed, forgotten, from the world, while others have fallen into madness. Some have simply tried to adapt, to make a life for themselves in this place without gods, getting by on what little scraps of worship and belief they can garner. Others are more radical, attempting to regain the power that was once theirs, to revive their followings.
And then there are the New Gods. Gods of cars and computers, television and radio, cities and highways, all those things that modern Americans put their faith in. They are young, at the height of their power. These newcomers are regarded dismissively by some of the older gods, who have seen so many new deities rise and fall in their time; jealously by others, who wish to reclaim the power for their own; and by all with a deep wariness.
Inspired by the world of Neil Gaiman's American Gods, this game invites players to step into the roles of deities, old and new, to create their own modern mythology.

Premise
October 15, 2025 will forever be known as the day the third wizarding war ended. After a year of struggle and death, hope has once more returned to the wizard world and law and order are being restored. Yet all is not well in the world, there are changes coming, some more dangerous than others.
The spell that a year ago brought Voldemort and his followers back from the dead is still active. The mystery of how the dead can return to live still unsolved. As long as it is, the dead will keep returning. Who will be the next to arrive, and will they be friend or foe?
In addition, an unknown curse has spread amongst the Wizarding population, infecting everyone, from child to adult. Few know of its existence, no one knows what it does; but it has the potential to turn the world upside down.
At the same time, vampires are settling in England. A new town is founded, bigger and more modern than anything the country has seen before. But what are their motives? How much will the world change?
The wizards of the UK must learn to adapt, but can they?
