Cloudplace, Forevermoor:
A History

Rial'oth'noth'th in a maelstrom

Age of Legend

The Harmonic Plane is the nearly two-dimensional plane surrounding Cloudplace, which is the name for the arcology network (arconet) at the center of the known inhabited part of the plane. It was an interdimensional hub as long as anyone can remember, even the most extremely lengthy histories, records, or lifetimes do not recall a founding, or even midpoint. It is believed what peoples began living in Cloudplace originally built the {portal arch} structures, as they’re made of the same material and integrated into the design of the original fixed arcologies, but also as far back as anyone knows, nobody knows how to work on them. They appear to function as majiks, but have no discernable presence as such.

Before Cloudplace could wield the power of pocket universe creation, before anyone knew how a portal worked, long before Clan Deimos, before the movable arcologies were constructed, the people of the fixed arcologies of Cloudplace arconet lived a relatively agrarian life. The economy was warped radically by odd incongrueties of scarcity brought about by the Templates. Some necessities had regular supply shocks, while one might easily acquire an advanced device like a vehicle, only lacking some critical component.

Then, one quiet day on the plain plane, close to the cobblestone circle surrounding a village well, Rial’oth’noth’th appeared in a blinding flash of light and dry heat. She worked hard to get to Forevermoor, but this was not what she expected at all.

“This is like a beige peeple village from The Next Generation.”

She had sought the Harmonic Plane for so long, and knew she had gotten it right this time, but the--

“No! The it’s dorknose guys from the block game! HA!”

Rial is an interdimensional traveler, but more than that, has the ability to--

“What?”

Rial has internarrative abilities, including narrator detection and inter.. ruption, funny, I felt like you were going to do it ag--

“WHAT?! ..Okay, sorry!”  She winks.

Suffice to say, a being with such an extreme power differential could have shaped Cloudplace to her whim, as it seems the case she has done elsewhere in the great beyond, it seems we are lucky of her benevolence. She was able to join the labor collectives and integrate with the current residents, but before long the community came to mutual agreement that some things from otherworlds, including advanced technology and new majiks, could postively benefit all residents if done carefully. They would work together to open Cloudplace to other worlds, unsealing ancient portals built into their home.

After Rial faded into the background of events, never an administrator, democratic political forces arose and gradually evolved an effective system under the new technological paradigm. Such industrialization would not allow peace for long, as efficient production allowed small groups to amass significant power before the community could react as a police action. Eventually many militarized factions were operating, and conflict was inevitable. That is a story for anotha’ time. Clan Deimos won.

Deimos technically controls all of Cloudplace, but that is primarily a function of their overwhelming monopoly on violence. They are not violent, but unless they would for some reason allow it, it is not a good idea to be violent on this plane of existence. Their rule has been unopposed for millennia since they captured or destroyed most significant weapon and resource Templates for duplication. This was never an issue, as their management was transparent and effective. Utilizing AI technology originally seeded by Rial’oth’noth’th, they overcame the lingering economic concerns of the arconet. This tower would unexpectedly collapse after the the great boon of the Brachistochrone.

Brachistochrone

It is difficult to overstate the transformative impact of two papers published within days of each other about 50 years ago: Elise Dupont-Rey’s theory of Information Resonance and Michael Riemann’s theory of Special Spacetime Nucleation. Both academics would collaborate for years as their intertwined and emerging fields cross-pollinated ideas.

Since then, the way we look at science, existence, majiks, and emergent life has been fundamentally altered. It did not shake any foundation, it became the ground below that foundation.  From this UV-level cosmological foundation, Cloudplace researchers were gradually able to reproduce and explain all experiential concepts previously unmoored from each other. For example, majiks are inverted forms of science, but through changes to the space-timeline from across the veil (between spirit and ground).

The Brachistochrone is the periodization of the time immediately following the publishing of these papers, characterized by radical explosions of cultural exchange, exuberant trade, and a complete reorganization of travel and defense.

Forevermoor is a place of wonder, the home layer of reality for Cloudplace, our city on the plain plane. It is also the name of the company Sean Carrier is putting together to bring the experience of our world to Earth. When you subscribe, your identity matrix, adventuring party, or even an entire community can be registered with the central Cloudplace authorities known as Clan Deimos. This registry grants free access to the famous and bewilderingly extensive Cloudplace marketplaces. With Identity Documentation (ID) you can also utilize the portals controlled and run by Clan Deimos, as well as potentially private portals found in the quasi-independent arcologies surrounding Cloudplace. With these portals, you can journey to innumerable otherworlds, setting the stage for any adventure you can imagine on the other side!

Who is Forevermoor for?

Forevermoor is for the lone wanderer, the band of misfits, the general of armies, the swashbuckling ship captain of the ocean or outer space, an eager squire to a severe paladin, a curious ice cave bound robot, a circle of fey or witches, the industrialist cum crimefighter, the time-worn artificer piecing together ancient Templates, a shape-shifting diplomat negotiating peace in volatile realms, the daring rogue, a mech-suited combatant bound to the principles of their Clan, an empathic oracle guiding others through treacherous mirages, a spectral archivist lost between realms, the druidic caretaker of far flung but lush Harmonic Plane groves, a sentient AI dreaming of liberation and identity in a world hostile to their existence, the stoic hermit who speaks the language of the white sands, the shadowy operative tracing dangerous Template smugglers, a scientist adventurer obsessed with bridging the virtual and base realities without going through Clan Deimos, an exuberant performer charming diverse crowds in arcology markets, the mind-bent poet uncovering the strange truths of alternate realities, or a lone vigilante unraveling conspiracies tied to the Phobos enforcers. Forevermoor is for everyone, forever.

I want to upgrade my account to have more characters, do I have to leave my arcology?

Plus icon


Root principle of the following decision: There are no status changes which completely remove the ability to log into your account once it is created. No admin, or especially, no other player, has the ability to remove your access to the Forevermoor application. You will always be able to log in and vote, unless that login is banned for fraudulent behavior under a strict and clear set of published guidelines. Any character can be placed under administrative observation to enforce these guidelines. See rule zero.

You can retain your sponsor arcology as your fallback access with the linked character, adding a new character or characters with your own paid account. As long as your original sponsor arcology continues to sponsor you, you will retain access to the basic game materials and the originally sponsored character, even if you cancel your individual subscription.

If my character wants to leave or is banned from its original arcology, how do I, the player, proceed on my own?

Plus icon

People invited to join the arcology, and receive this effectively free account, retain control of it even if they are later banned from the arcology or leave of their own volition. You may still sign in to Forevermoor, accessing NPC's, support assistance, and other communications. If you wish to continuing participation in other features of Forevermoor you must upgrade to a paid plan, always starting around $1 (one US dollar) per month.

If the entity paying for the arcology subscription cancels that subscription, all of the characters currently being sponsored by that arcology are similarly suspended from most Forevermoor resources until they upgrade to a paid subscription of their own which can host the character. If a player already has a Citizen account of their own, the character is simply linked to that account instead of the arcology.

How secure is my data on Forevermoor?

Plus icon

Security is important. Backups are important. We take important things seriously. Avoiding single points of failure seems prudent. We have auditor auditors.

Can Forevermoor integrate with existing tools?

Plus icon

Currently the Forevermoor application is in active development of features needed to reach the goals of 1st Edition. Resources will be dedicated to enhancing the usefulness of the application with other tools as more become available and the community provides feedback for what they would like to see. Please contact us with suggestions.

Is Forevermoor easy to use if you’re new to rpgs, ttrpgs, larp, jubensha, gaming in general?

Plus icon

Absolutely!

Do you have the consent of owners of the works that were (or will be) used to produce the AI generated portion of your projects?

Plus icon

Final artwork is all my own. [ed: Sean Carrier] I plan to use AI or generative fill for reference and placeholder images. Sometimes, the placeholders get folded with hand drawings and become close to final quality. I am budgeting time for a lot of drawing.

I only use AI products that have a legal umbrella for content creation such as OpenAI Dall-E and Adobe products. It is my personal belief, at this time, they are not using training data which takes revenue from artists. The financial risk they take miscalculating the moral and ethical concerns surrounding generative tools is great and they are market leaders, so at this moment it seems prudent to give them critical feedback as they establish norms which may ultimately echo for a long time.

What is your commitment to sociopolitical-economic stability and sustainability?

Plus icon

Most of our products on Earth will be digital electronic, but we are partnering with paper publishers who have sustainable production options. As we get established in this dimension, we may have to utilize less-sustainable options for the small printing runs or print-on-demand. We will vector toward full sustainability to the best our ability and resources allow.

The aesthetic of the primary game world matches recycled printing options in paper and ink. These will be used for rulebooks and tarot card sets.

We believe our products deliver a vibe of community-building and collaboration to make our virtual worlds and maybe even Earth just a little better. We hope someday Earth will achieve the sociopolitical-economic stability of Cloudplace.

The RPG has been developed with the intention of allowing content from existing games and stories to be easily overlayed on the base story environment and materials. The RPG manual includes rules which referees and players can use to convert other systems on the fly and in session. This encourages the re-use and improves the usability of things you already have.
