-Some Diegetic Reality: Primitus Vinculum-






What is -Primitus Vinculum-?

Primitus = The Beginning, First of its Kind, Genesis
Vinculum = Connective tissue, Single Entity

In the simplest terms, Vinculum is Earth. By the year 2050AD the planet had reached its' breaking point. Temperatures had climbed across the globe, leading to drought and famine, flooding and violent storms. Civil unrest in various countries had tipped them to violence. The world was as it had always been - chaotic and violent, held under the thumb of its' most insane apex predator... Man.

Then, through a series of catastrophic events, things changed. The power of mankind to split the atom was used upon his brethren, and at the same time, in some great cosmic joke, the largest CME (coronal mass ejection) ever reached the planet. These events collided and formed what has now become known as The Breach.

The Breach ripped through the fabric of this universe and opened Earth to other worlds through those rifts. The number of these worlds is as yet unknown, but Earth seemed to become a focal point to where all these passages led. Now a connection to various places in the Multiverse.

Beings that had only existed in myths and legends proved to be real; fae, elves, dwarves, otherworldly deities, aliens of all stripes... the Universe was able to show Mankind life in all its' various forms.

With these new developments the Earth became known as -Primitus Vinculum-, usually just referred to as Vinculum, and though now almost 200 years have passed, the developments that followed changed just as much as they had in the 200 years prior. A mix of technological leaps and magic swept over Vinculum, and though now the year is closer to 2250AD, nobody uses that measurement any more. Now things are measured After Breach.

It is the year 198AB.

Magic and technology coexist side by side just as naturally as a man in power armor might converse with a dryad on the street corner of New China.

The atmosphere, through arduous work, has been corrected, and much of Earth has actually been reverted back to its' natural wondrousness. However, the populations have boomed and most people now live in the Megalopolises; immense cities holding upwards of 500 million citizens. They rise into the sky with some gargantuan structures, the streets of which do not ever see true sunlight, plunged into perpetual shade and darkness by the walls of superstructures.

With the introduction of magic and the boom of new technology, other things have been introduced to mankind; matings with other races and species have produced hybrid beings, though mankind cannot reproduce with all other species. In addition, the Breach flooded Vinculum with cosmic and primordial forces that have begun to change the human genome itself, resulting in humans born with powers of various degrees; GenX (for GENome X). These changes have happened suddenly, over the span of decades as opposed to millennia.

Still, life continues as normal, and is just as chaotic and dangerous as before. Nothing ever really changes, does it?!




This game takes ideas from Marvel and DC, Final Fantasy, Mythology, Dungeons and Dragons, Star Wars, Blade Runner - just about any source you can think of; and throws them all together in a huge melting pot of creativity and diversity.

Want to play a character from a medieval fantasy world? They got sucked through a rift and landed on Vinculum!

Want a super powered human? They could be a GenX or pulled from another world!

Want an alien character? Want a tech-sorcerer assassin? Want a...?

Just about anything you can think up can be played here, though obviously with the discretion of the GM's.
