The SS Carboniferous (Setting)

The SS Carboniferous is Wolfie's second and less expansive metaverse. Created for GMing at the Nationals in 2016, the setting has been used for several one-off games but has never had a full campaign set in it to date.

History of the Setting
The setting was initially created to house Wolfie's 2016 Nationals game, where they were surprised to find they were GMing in a totally new setting for them- Sci-Fi. Having no real exposure to Sci-Fi apart from the game Portal and the TV Show Doctor Who, they attempted to put together a half-decent game. The setting itself went down well during playtesting and was also a hit during Nationals. As such Wolfie kept the setting around- using it for sporadic one-offs when needed, but never truly using it in a full game. However, in 2019, Wolfie decided that it would be fun to run a full game in the setting one day- and as such, it gained its first glimpse as an expansive metaverse for the first time.

About the Setting
The year is 2306. Humanity has long since left its pale blue dot; Since the discovery of R-space in 2194 and Q-space in 2257, their reach has expanded out of not only the Milky Way, but have colonised most of the solar system. Exploring the furthest reaches of Spacetime, the SS Carboniferous was exploring sector 12 of Q-space with its sister ships, the SS Devonian and the SS Silurian, when it suddenly disappeared without a trace. The reports of this set into motion a chain of events leading to civil unrest and eventually galactic war between many factions.
