CHRONOS

I imagine you're wondering why you're receiving this message. The answer is simple: because you are a person of extraordinary talents, and the galaxy needs you.


I don't need to tell you about the explosion of the GSS Ananke. You've lived in this galaxy for the past two decades. It's impossible to escape the effects of that conference: the arms deals, the treaties, the assassination. The final explosion. You have witnessed the war which tore our galaxy apart in the twenty years that followed.


But what if we could change that? What if we could go back and rewrite history? What was once an impossible dream has now become concrete possibility, and that's where you come in. Welcome to CHRONOS.

– From a message sent out by Azalea Okeke, acting head of the GSP

Introduction

CHRONOS is the Oxford University RPG Society's Society Game for Trinity 2019. Players live in a dystopian cosmos, their planets devastated by a twenty-year war. They form an elite group who have been recruited by the mysterious CHRONOS organisation, a group of rogue scientists who claim to have unlocked the secret to time travel…

The game will focus on solving the big puzzle that is cause and effect, as a small group of people battle against fate to make the universe a better place. Despite the (initially!) dystopian setting, the game is generally designed to have an optimistic tone, with a focus on how any individual can make a difference.
