Xerin

A multi-splat game with flat-out superheroic problems.

15 years ago the first gate opened to the world. No one knows why they appeared, or the full ramifications of their appearance but a few things are known. 1. All gates open to different worlds containing many mysterious creatures and objects. These locations seem straight from fantasy novels and may actually connect to or reference actual places. 2. All gates contain a mysterious energy that is generally agreed to be called 'Mana'. Mana seems to be absorbed by everything exposed to it causing a litany of different effects. But mana is antithetical to modern technology. 3. When the mana level outside of a gate matches the mana level inside of the gate, the gate opens allowing the creatures held within the gate to escape. 4. The creatures and objects from inside the gate can only seem to be affected by things that also possess mana. This can range from objects or living beings. 5. Adventurers, people who have positively absorbed mana from gate crashes, are the only ones who can deal with the monsters of the gates and seem to be the only ones to enter an active gate. Since then, guilds of these adventurers have formed to respond to the discovery of gates in order to resolve the dangers of the world.

Work in progress. A campaign setting where there are no permanent magic items and monsters having gems of purified magic.
