Thesystem - Cosmystical Travel Guide

Thesystem is your guide to the universe's most chaotic 7 heavenly bodies.

What did the creation of our universe sound like? We now know, unequivocally, the sound of creation was a roaring, babbling, mish-mash of voices trying to talk over each other in a crowded convention center ballroom.

This was news to the scientific community, who, when notified of the discovery, voted regardless to retain the name Big Bang Theory, citing the cost of rebranding, which would be "way too high, what with all the money we sank into the TV show.”

During 2024’s Life, the Universe, and Everything Symposium (LTUE), Adept Icarus and Dax Levine gathered the largest group ever to play the worldbuilding game Arium: Create all at the same time. Out of the collaborative work of those people came this sourcebook—a wholly new and unique sci-fi/fantasy setting in the form of a travel guide, designed to be used as inspiration for gaming and writing.
