Humanity has changed. We are no longer bound to the flesh of one body, to the faculty of one mind, to the gravity of one planet. Death, like most diseases, has been cured. Travel, even between planets, occurs in a matter of hours, rather than years and years. We have become much greater than we once were.

Future.Shock is a far-future transhumanist Forged in the Dark game. It is set in the Grand Design, the new name that humanity has given to the solar system, now that we have settled on much of it. From the solar farms on Mercury to the deep space observatories on the moons of Neptune, new humanity has made a name for itself. 

Mechanically, the game has a Forged in the Dark / Powered by the Apocalypse heritage, though steps have been taken to ensure that the game adheres to transhumanist principles in its storytelling.

The game is centered around a community in the Grand Design, focused on your own artistry and philosophy. Influence and fame are your goals; you seek to be seen, to be heard, to make a difference. You stake out your own path to eternity among the stars. 

The game will be released in chapters, or books, all of which will be released here as they're written. Buying it now gives you access to all chapters as they are released.
