Han Cluster Roleplaying Game
TheHan Cluster
(R)
RPG
is a unique sci-fi roleplaying game designed for the Savage Worlds system. It combines danger, social intrigue, and alien mystery with human connection and optimism. Humanity has discovered a phenomenon called
the Nex
which has opened up new technology and granted us amazing
transhuman powers
that redefine the tropes of the traditional role-playing game. But along with the Nex has appeared a mysterious Nex-born "virus" called
the Blinding
which threatens to destroy all sentient life in human space.
Hope In Jeapardy
The year is 2653. A long, somewhat tenuous peace between the civilizations of Earth and its distant colony on the planet Edenic has reigned for well over 300 years. New planets have been discovered, remarkable technology developed, and despite immense challenges we've managed to overcome some of our greatest socio-political struggles.We've also unlocked a strange phenomenon called
the Nex , which gave us all blue glowing auras along with
transhuman abilities we never could have dreamed of. Meanwhile, an increasing number of robots have mysteriously "Linked" to the Nex as well, somehow granting them true sapience as they've joined us on our journey. But along with all these amazing discoveries has emerged a strange new threat...
The Blinding
About 60 years ago, people started losing their ability to see Nex auras in color. It was slow and gradual, happening over 50 years, but today, almost everyone in human space, including newborns and even Linked robots, see Nex auras as colorless--like the glow of a white ghost. This phenomenon came to be calledthe Blinding , and no one could explain it. Still a few extremely rare individuals called
Vivids were immune to the effect. They could still see the blue auric color of everyone around them. They are the only ones who recognize a change that's come over human space. In the last ten years, there's been a slow, almost imperceptible shift in the behavior of those who've been
Blinded . General tension, intolerance, anger and paranoia are on the rise, and a civilization that had embraced kindness, empathy and peace now seems subtly driven to stoke the fires of irrational conflict. The Vivids seem to be the only ones who can recognize this shift. Something is very wrong, and most everyone else seems unable to see it.
The Blinded have not only lost their ability to see auric color, they've become blinded to
reality
! And its getting worse.
We Need Heroes
You are among the preciousVivids who can still see Nex auras in color. But you also sense that
the Blinding is still happening, and it's a much greater threat than people realize. Being able to recognize it is one thing. Having the bravery to do something about it is another. You'll need to gather allies, unite communities, fight enemies, discover long-hidden secrets, and even confront the most terrifying horrors behind the Blinding itself to prevent everything humanity has accomplished from falling into ruin.
Heroes can emerge from anywhere... Do you have the courage to become one?
