PREMISE
It happens in a dream.
Standing on the surface of a body of water that stretches as far as the eye can see, you are surrounded by the pink, blue, and orange clouds of a beautiful sunset, reflecting in every direction until the world seems to be an endless expanse of beautiful colors. An ethereal woman approaches you, floating just above the surface of the water, her expression both vulnerable and knowing, her hands extended, her dark skin nearly glowing with power. Reaching out, she takes your hands in hers and makes eye contact.
No words are exchanged, but your mind is flooded with knowledge - this woman comes from an empty world, a world that needs people, that needs you. Her people settled a dead planet while fleeing the destruction of their own, but only a fraction of them were strong enough to be wakened from stasis so they could terraform somewhere to settle, to grow strong. It is a world that needs homes, needs cultivation, needs life, needs to be primed for the eventual populace that will awaken to settle it. The land is lush, fertile, and flush with raw magic.
And in return for your help, you are offered the granting of your most secret, deepest heart's desire, whether it's one you're conscious of or not. Any wish can be granted, for as your presence and the presence of others like you starts to form the world into what it will become, you will also be providing a focus for the world's magic, a focus that will make its power impossibly strong.
Once the world is prepared, anything is possible.
Serendipity is a panfandom slice-of-life game with a focus on CR and character development, with plenty of opportunities for things to do. In exchange for the granting of their dearest wish, characters are asked to populate a nearly-empty world and create an infrastructure for a populace that is still sleeping in stasis under the Ivory Castle. This world is run by a council formed of the heads of four Houses, each with its own interests and investments. Every second month, characters are invited to vote for initiatives presented by each house that will alter the landscape of the world itself.
Characters will have the opportunity to learn magic, share dreams and memories, and participate in events that will drive and encourage development and exploration of both CR and characters themselves. There will also be missions focused on gathering resources, world building, and safety of the population.
