The Field is a game about taking ordinary people and placing them without warning in a completely extraordinary world. Nothing here is familiar save that trees are still trees, air is still air and water is still water. The animal population is completely different from that of earth. All vegetation has a slight purple tinge, the sun's light is more harsh white than it is golden and at night the wild constellations are completely unfamiliar. There is no civilization in this place, only terrain. Some of it more hospitable than other areas. Most of the facts about the world will be discovered in game, in play, and through the collaborative efforts of the players.
