The city of Archon. The most cosmopolitan, technologically advanced metropolis the world has ever seen, where the nations of the world have at last come together to lay aside their differences. Will it be our last hope for a peaceful future or the chilling harbinger of a totalitarian dystopia? It falls to the members of the Division of Public Safety to protect Archon and its inhabitants from threats from both without and within. But which is the greater threat? In a future of ambiguous ethnicity and rampant cyberization, what use is there for obsolete national borders and political beliefs? The boundaries separating man and machine are not only blurred, but utterly erased. The conflict in this new-fledged world is not between nations or between law and order but between millennia-old traditions and an inevitable shift in consciousness, with the very meaning of 'humanity' and even 'identity' placed in the crosshairs. Will Archon be the beacon of a shining future, or will its enemies bring it crashing to the ground.

To many of those who know them, they're of an inferior class. To others, including themselves, they are considered an improvement on the design of man, an upper echelon. The apex.

OVER $100,000 raised on Kickstarter! Three Realities. One Story Affinity represents a bold, innovative approach ­­­to tabletop role-playing—a trilogy of worlds presenting unique ideas and rules but sharing similar themes, names, and even a common menace. Select one setting or shift between all three. While they complement one another, they are not dependent, with each game standing on its own. Each volume of Affinity contains unique and exciting mechanics compatible with 5th Edition rules, including new races, classes, backgrounds, weapons, armor, vehicles, spells, and monsters. Conestoga: Humans and aliens find themselves trapped upon a gargantuan alien ark. Abandoned and adrift, the residents are forced to explore the catacombs of the strange vessel, scavenging and crafting technology. Employing powered armor and emerging individuals possessing psionic abilities, factions battle for control over resources, technology, and the secrets of their new home. Torus: This slam of art-deco, steampunk, and post-apocalypse involves heroes traveling a weird-west fantasy world searching for treasures from a forgotten past. Machines rise from the ruins of a dead empire while unique individuals manifest the magical powers of “smoke.” For everyone else, they survive upon the millions of miles of railroads while exacting justice from a barrel of an enchanted gun. Paradise: This semi-traditional fantasy is set within a full-scale geocentric model solar system. The god-like Aegis rule the other worlds from their perch within Abraxas, manipulating conflicts between kingdoms while forbidding both magic and machines. Heroes explore truly alien landscapes while harnessing the ability to alter reality through an ancient magical language.
