[QUOTE="garrowolf, post: 6286968, member: 31900"] I am working on a list of campaign sets for future tech levels. I have already defined the tech levels in general and worked up the basic technology of each tech level. Now I am working on different "flavors" to each tech level. For instance: Post-Apocalyptic. This would apply to any tech level. The main civilization has been destroyed and this is the technology left behind. Then I can apply that to each tech level and get a specific type of setting out of it. I will add magic to it later but I need the no mana versions to start with. I am currently working on pre-FTL future settings: [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=2][B]TL 15: Cyber Age[/B][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=2] [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=2][B](2030 – 2110 CE)[/B][/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, sans-serif][SIZE=1] Advances in nanotechnology, biology, and computers open up cybernetic interfaces between humanity and our tools.
