Journey In Chaos!
The Maelstrom is the universe. It is creative and destructive, formless and ordered, everything and nothing. The scattered worlds of gods and mortals float in this cosmic sea like froth in the surf. Maelstrom walkers flit from world to world, braving destruction in the chaos, free to journey while profane beings are tied only to worlds they can reach through bridges, and the gods are unable to even leave their own world.
Yaggo's Boat is unique in the universe. Yaggo was a student of the extraordinary Yierdo, and from her he learned the way to pronounce a different type of world. Yaggo's Boat moves. Yaggo has gained the powers and status of godhood without sacrificing the freedom of walking the Maelstrom.
The Campaign
Journey in Chaos is a followup campaign to the long-running Fading Word campaign. It starts just after the end of the Fading Word, right as the masses of Holy City Folk flee from Abbatine to the apparent shelter of Yaggo's Boat. The characters are all current resistents of Yaggo's Boat, and most of them are more than a little upset to see tens of thousands of Holy City Folk descend upon them like locusts.
The Background
The introduction to Yaggo's Boat is currently available only in boring PDF, with all the illustrations removed to make the file easier to swallow:
In the near future, the HTML version of the introduction (which is already more colorful than the PDF version) will be available that includes all of Tim's wonderful illustrations. I have to promise this, or Tim will be forever offended.
