Isekai

For millennia, the world of Isekai and its people thrived, races spread across every inch of land and sea, blessings from the gods that created them abundant, only minor tragedies blighting the great histories of the world. That would soon change when the gates to another realm opened, releasing the Eldritch Horrors upon the land.   For a century, the races of Isekai either banded together to fight the creatures that threatened them or took the bloody war as an opportunity to further their own gains. Eventually, the gates and creatures would be sealed, but not before the world was drowned in a tragedy that would be nearly possible to recover from.   Two centuries have passed since the Eldritch War ended, but not everything has returned to what the world was before. Things are still changing, things are still growing, but the people of Isekai refuse to be buried under the weight of that tragedy.

The world of Isekai is currently the setting used in the in-development TTRPG system, known as Storybook, created by RiverFang and Shiftrex. This system allows players to take part in a story of their own design facilitated by a Storyteller.   Utilizing a variety of skills and spells, players can follow a story path of their choosing, growing and acquiring greater abilities as they progress. This system focuses on three areas, including exploration, combat, and social encounters. Every part of a player's character can be individualized and chosen based on in-game interaction and the player's choices.   The Storybook system is still a work in progress but a lite version of the system is currently playable using the one shot adventure, Exhibition at the Vollan Rue. This one shot gives a glimpse into most facets of the game and introduces all skill levels of players to this new system.
