The Emerald City
|
|
 |
Between the Puget Sound and Lake Washington lies the beautiful city of Seattle. The largest city of the Pacific Northwest, the city is a major location for commerce, culture, and perhaps adventure. However, past the mountainous and green borders lies a darker, more sinister underground which is resurfacing after years of dormancy.
Organized crime has begun to increase their profits by selling both illegal and prescription drugs. Prostitution, in certain locations of the city, is on the rise. Once a popular tourist attraction, the Seattle underground is now closed off after a spike in violent crimes. Now, those who venture to these former tourist locations venture at their own risk.
There are still those who refuse to leave the city, despite the rise of crime. Many flock to gated communities, or the safer suburbs while still commuting to the city for work. How will the people react to these changes? That is entirely up to you.

| Forgotten Gods |

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.
