Far Future

Frame · Epochs temporal

Thousands or millions of years later – humanity is barely recognizable, the laws of the known no longer apply.

Design question – Your game takes place in the far future. What of the human is still there – and what has become so alien that it must be explained?

Reference example – Halo: distant worlds, ancient rings and a humanity spread across the galaxy. Race for the Galaxy: settling planets and building empires, millennia from today.
