Welcome to the Frontier

Earth has been destroyed.

Human kind’s rise to power was short compared to that of other dominant life forms, and it was almost snuffed out completely.

In 2007 AD, a race of inter-galactic travelers known as the Shaddaih came to the Earth with the goal of purging its surface to save the planet’s life. They were almost successful, but a handful of Humans got away. Those who stayed behind to fight banded together under the gallant banner of Nobel Greymoon as part of his rebellion. Those who sought a new life for themselves joined a young entrepreneur named Dresden Jackson to begin a new life among the stars as a libertarian initiative. Thus the roles that Human kind would play in the universe were both born and split in a single day and night, and as they come in contact with the other races of the known galaxy, those roles become more crucial than ever before. Dilettante Frontier is a massive collective of archives for use as a table top role playing game concept set in a fictional space age. The game is played using the nWoD Storytelling System with a compelling Space Age splat used to personalize original characters.

From the Originator
A believable future for mankind… Many have speculated over what is in store for us as a race, but the eyes of realism have never suited my tastes. In the imaginations of my collaborators and I, the future was equal parts dramatic and impossible, yet compelling enough to bring about the whimsical concepts that make up the contents of this wiki. We saw the future as a blank canvas against which to paint our wildest creations, to narrate the intricate and sometimes subtle fabrications of the interactions of our original characters.

What started as an online game in a fiction role-playing forum blossomed into a pen-and-paper tabletop experience I will never forget. This collection serves as the medium for you and your own to experience the future as we saw it, in its most creative and radical expressions. Welcome to the Frontier.
