2280

2280: Paradox of Progress is our pen and paper role-playing game set in the neofeudal dystopia of the year 2280. We will be releasing a beta of the basic lore and rules in early 2019, the Kickstarter for the full release will launch late 2019.

The main focus of the stories is the complex and brutal reality of Earth life, ruled by powerful Families and plagued by the many challenges of unchecked developments in nanotech, biotech, information systems and cybernetics. Humans also live elsewhere around the Solar system, but Earth is still where most of the violence and power struggles happen.

Paradox of progress can be summed up as a divergence where technosocial advances and benefits are slowing down, while the disadvantages and threats grow every day. Indefinite lifespan is possible, but only few can afford it. Artificial intelligence can perform most tasks human workers can, but instead of much needed help it is seen as competitor and potencial replacement by most of society. In 2280, humanity knows very well that because there is no free meal in this world, there is no free golden age either.

Neofeudalism emerged as a bloodline-and-clients social structure that can provide at least some stability to everyday life within the paradox... At first a coalition of heroes that saved humanity from grips of articifial intelligence rebelion promised peace, freedom and prosperity but since then all is shadows and plots among the powerful caused disenchantment to replace hope as new system quickly decayed into a dystopia.
