You will be able to bring things in from outside settings... Except deities, for obvious reasons. | The base concept is going to use a modified version of Cumberland Games' ''Uresia: Grave of Heaven'' setting. Variant lore will be gathered here.

The setting is actively Anime Trope'd, but that can mean a lot of things - here, it means that the tone can range from quite dramatic to very, very silly. Keep that in mind with your characters. | The setting is actively Anime Trope'd, but that can mean a lot of things - here, it means that the tone can range from quite dramatic to very, very silly.

| + | When the scene is significantly less serious than the gameplay - that is, when you're fighting, say, a swarm of pissed-off magical girls - the Comedic Injuries mechanic may be brought into play. This rule essentially forces all damage to be nonlethal - no matter how ridiculously impossible this should be. Further, knockback, throwing, defenestration, and other attack results become the norm, getting added to attacks (usually the last attack of a turn) at the DM's whims based on description. | ||
