Coruscations of the Rind [ EDIT ]
This game has been retired! That means it's no longer being run.
An omniverse-traversing campaign instituted around the 'shifting world' premise where the characters do not have the ability to control or prevent their movement through the omniverse's manifold permutations.
Like many world-hopping campaigns, the reason for the characters unpredictable cosmic motility remains a mystery, baked into the story meant to be unraveled as the campaign progresses.

Characters are created via an expansive randomly-rolled generator that I have produced myself, featuring 60,000 separate ability options which can be (and will likely be) altered by each Player to suit the character they wish to narrate.
Operating within an omniversal setting the character options are intrinsically unbounded, only caged by a Player's imagination.
