What the game is about

Seven months ago Kemet was a thriving world with four billion citizens. Then the comet came.
Our scientists realized it would trigger an extinction level event, and each day it grew larger in the sky. A call went out to our allies in the sector. Mages and scientists and Wyrms came, each pooling their abilities.
Their magics diverted the comet’s course, though it was a near thing. We rejoiced. For a time.
The comet’s damage wasn’t visible at first, but it soon became evident that our world was doomed. The comet had altered our orbit, sending us in a spiral toward the sun.
We’ve all seen the simulation they’ve broadcast. Our planet has passed the Roche point. Every child can tell you what that means now.
The first signs are clear. You can look out your window, and see chunks of rock torn loose from the pavement, ripped into the void by titanic gravitational forces.
Our entire world is dissolving into asteroids and debris, which will be swallowed by the sun. Our only hope is fleeing our world.
But where can we go? The sector is a cold place, and no world could possibly take in so many refugees. And how would we even get them off world? Transports have been working at capacity, but less than 4% of our population has been saved thus far.
The gravitational fluctuations makes it difficult, and the asteroids will make any space flight perilous. Within a week those still trapped will be past saving.
I have accepted that I will not make it off myself, though I still go to the spaceport each morning in the hopes that a vessel will take me. I have nothing to offer. I cannot fight. I am no mage, or mercenary. So I will die, forgotten.
Void willing, you escape my fate. -- Unknown
The Magitech Chronicles takes place in a vast galaxy where magic exists alongside technology. Some worlds, like ancient Terra, lacked magic but made do by harnessing their environment. Others were blessed with a Catalyst-- the body of a god who died during the Godswar.
Catalysts are pure magic, and come in one or more aspects. These aspects determine which powers they grant mages, and those powers shape their surrounding cultures. Life Catalysts create healers. Void Catalysts create battle mages. Dream Catalysts create illusionists. All are potent in their own way, and galactic empires have risen and fallen to control them.
The brave and the foolhardy journey to remote nebulas in search of power. Most find death. The survivors, though, may one day become gods themselves-- if they pillage enough magic.
The Magitech Chronicles RPG allows you to play a character in this chaotic universe. You can be one of the mages to claim power from dead gods. Maybe you're a tech mage who relies on a suit of sophisticated spellarmor to protect you from supernatural horrors. Perhaps you're a war mage who channels spells through your blade, or a spellsniper picking off opponents from the shadows.
The possibilities are endless.
