Sample Storygame Settings



A chronicle setting is the fictional story world built by your starting troupe. It is set in a genre. Our personal favorites are high fantasy, sci-fi, super hero, paranormal/horror/urban fantasy, historical drama, modern drama or a hybrid. Certain kinds of mature or other content might be excluded to keep the setting in player comfort zones. At least one player will create the setting's geography, cosmology, creatures, playable races, metaplot and timeline; everyone in the starting troupe is encouraged to read the dev docs during contribute to them during the World Building period (1-2 weeks for small games, 3-4 weeks for big ones).

Below are a list of sample settings by genre and subgenre or hybridization


 * Uluru (unique high fantasy set on a flat world size/geography of Australia)
 * The Eden Project (man vs. nature sci-fi survival/horror)
 * Vizards (contemporary but dystopian super-hero)
 * Spectacle (1970s urban fantasy inspired by Changeling: The Dreaming & Kids On Bikes)
 * Blood & Bones (1770s historical drama with supernatural twist: vampires)
 * City of Seven Hills (modern "non-supernatural" teen drama set in a fictionalized version of Lynchburg, VA)

The Example Character Template List includes all the initial templates we made for these settings.
