The City on the Gyre of Dreams: The Window
The City on the Gyre of Dreams.
The Planescape Setting, re-imagined, using the simple, readily available Window system. If you don't know it, don't worry! Pretty basic stuff!
(Rebooted after a 2 year hiatus!)
Three days ago, the world ended. If not the whole world, at least our part of it, destroyed by a monster that consumed entire civilizations. But we’re alive, and our town, the hillside haven of the arts called Rainbow Falls, remains.. well... more or less. We’re alive because in the face of that terrible, unstoppable and all-consuming enemy, our wizard somehow transported the entire town into another realm of existence, something called the Astral Plane.
A sky without end, without horizon, no sun, moons, clouds, nothing of home. A pale shimmer from above bathing us in light, a deep indigo emptiness far below, and our town, floating like a boat in a waveless sea, on a broken plate of land. We are the last of everything we knew. Out of a mighty civilization, millions of people, rich and poor, pomp and circumstance, we are all that remains. We alone survived the end of the world.
Now we have to survive this. Our town is alone and adrift, in a distant half-forgotten, lonely reach of the Astral Plane. According to the one visitor we've had, we are well off the "beaten path" even by Astral standards. It attracts runaways, exiles, and the debris of fate. The power of the dreams exerts a power over the plane itself, and so everything is in motion, slowly drifting around the portals that glow like little suns. We were told that this region has mystic connections to the subconscious thoughts of beings on other planes, including our own, and it is called the Gyre of Dreams.
A small group of intrepid people, named the Explorer's Guild, may be the hope of the town. They have successfully gotten off the floating town and returned, scouting out new places, finding new friends and enemies. The city has begun to harvest the resources of the mysterious "floating forest" suspended in the void, nearby. Now, the Explorers are preparing for their third expedition.

I have restricted the scope of characters permitted, and I have my reasons to do so, and the characters have to fit. This will be for a low level group, including beginners, but the game is mostly about exploration and problem solving anyway, do not expect a lot of combat and fireworks.
