Greetings, traveler! Looks like you're new to our fair world. Bit of a culture shock, I know. I hear it all the time. Bet you're looking for a few explanations, too. For example, bet you're wondering about the fog.

You could say it's mostly harmless... most of the time. More often than not, it's barely visible. But when it's thick, when it rolls in like smoke, it brings things. Good, bad. Sometimes both at once. Hallucinations, nightmares, curses, critters. Wishes made, granted, regretted. Some people find their dreams become a terrifying - or wonderful - reality. At least until the mist rolls out again.

It's a hard life, but most of us don't complain too much. See, there's nowhere else to go. The once great mage cities, they've all fallen away. Far as we know, we're the only people still living in the whole damn world. This is all we've got left.

This is where humanity makes its last stand.

Scorched is a panfandom roleplaying game set in and around the steam-punk inspired city of Anatole. Named for the dawn, Anatole represents the hope of humanity: the only place left intact by the ubiquitous fog that has engulfed the world. Of course intact is not untouched. Even there, the mist lives, touching the people. Changing them.

Changing you. Because from the second you step into this world, you become one of the Scorched - altered, ageless, given access to abilities, things you may have never believed possible. Things you many not even begin to understand.

But you'll come to understand it; it's the only way to survive. Because humans aren't the only creatures to have survived the fog's onslaught, and you aren't the only things it's changed.
