New Sci Fi Setting Seeds

[Astromancer]

Strange Dawn

Are you the person who is going to explain the lights on the dark of the moon?

They don't need much explanation,
they're moonbases.

How is that possible? They weren't there yesterday!

Your yesterday was different than mine.

That can't be.

Europe was held in a stasis field by extradimensional aliens.

Quit quoting old Doctor Who plots. This isn't a fantasy.

You might wish it was. Europe has been held in stasis for sixty years.

The Aliens, no one ever knew what they called themselves or even what they looked like. Came one early summer morning in 2025. Others came with them some aided humanity. Parts of the Earth were locked in stasis fields, or at least that's what they were called. Stasis fields were a Sci Fi concept used to name what no one understood.

Those that aided humanity gave humanity, or at least the free humans, technologies advanced over what anyone had known before, the Allies also
introduced humanity to powers of the mind "Psionics " These Allies soon trained humanity in these skills.

The Allies had the ability to prevent the stasis fields in several areas of the Earth. North America, the Caribbean, the Antepodes, Polynesia, India, Japan, Southeastern and Maritime Asia, and most of East Africa were able to fight. Twenty-five years after they came the Aliens left. The Allies told humanity that the Aliens were still a deadly threat but our Earth would never be the battleground again. Then they left after telling humanity how to disrupt stasis fields. They warned some would take time to fade. Most of Africa and all of South America were freed in a few months. After a few years, only Europe from the Atlantic to the Urals, from Svalbard to Malta, was in stasis. Now, May 30th, 2085, Europe is free.

The world has gone through sixty years of war, reconstruction, and change. You, a European that went to bed in 2025 is now awake in 2085. The world beyond Europe is a bizarre mixture of the Jetsons, Mad Max, and Barbarella. Go forth and figure it out.

Basically, you (the PCs) are strangers in a psychedelicly strange land. Everybody has changed so find out who they are now.

Note: Europe was chosen because many lands beyond Europe care about what happens there. So the PCs won't be dismissed as mere barbarians by everyone. Some yes, but not everyone.
