Fated Seas

[Game is in active development - would love feedback, thoughts, criticisms.]

Fated Seas is a card-based tabletop roleplaying game. Players begin with a basic deck of 8 cards and use these cards throughout gameplay to accomplish various actions and activities. As characters level up, players will have the opportunity to add or modify cards in their deck. Players are free to remove or add cards to their decks to allow them to custom-tailor their character or to experience other styles of play.

Fated Seas takes place in a dying earth, fantasy world. An eternal twilight has fallen across the planet rendering it an uninhabitable ruin ravaged by overpopulation, war and famine. In order to survive, those that live on this planet must do so by embracing a life reliant on, or more like under, the ocean. They developed technology to fully submerge themselves in enormous submersible spheres, or deep cities, to adapt to this new environment. These deep cities, also called Solitaries, draw power and nourishment from enormous solar generators that act like miniature suns. The structures, parks, social and cultural centers of each city encircle these miniature suns in order to survive off the warmth and light that each one provides. To ensure that these solar cores are never extinguished, they must continually be powered by a special bio-fuel called phlogiston.

Many Solitaries in the world are orbited by other lesser submersibles called Flotsam. These vessels leech off the larger Solitary’s resources, waste and solar energy. Flotsam are used by outcasts, pirates, hermits, and prisoners and many are considered dangerous, lawless vessels drifting aimlessly through the sea.

While land masses are present on the surface, the majority of the world is covered by a vast ocean due to climate change and risen sea levels. The darkness that blankets the surface has turned these islands into dusty, windswept, barren ruins - unable to sustain life in the traditional sense. However, nature always has a way and many powerful and deadly creatures reside in the wastelands, making it a difficult and hostile land to explore by those living in the solitaries.
