The story

You have died…

…and those aren’t the pearly gates before you.

Your soul has traveled through a wormhole and ended up on the remains of a library on the remnants of a once thriving moon. You hear a mystical voice in your mind directing you to talk to a skeleton a short distance ahead…

After some “training,” the skeleton has you follow him to a magical rostrum where you can select a new body for your soul to inhabit. You’re presented with 32 different bodies—and the ability to possess an instance of Desspair himself or one of his trusted Guild Officers—before traveling back in time to help stop the wormhole from causing the devastation (and your interesting predicament).

Embark on an epic adventure as you Explore, Quest, & Survive in the first batch of 14 wonderous zones. The setting? A Jupiter-sized planet with 3 Earth-sized moons, plus a couple of pocket dimensions for good measure. Good times and numerous memorable adventures are bound to be had…
