AltG2 Original Proposal
 
AltG2 is a conceptual sequel/follow-up to the original AltG1 campaign. It is not intended to have any direct references to the original campaign, besides recurring characters, locations, and concepts present within the original campaign.
 
Setting
-------
        AltG2 is a fantasy land of magic, forgotten and resurrected technology, and strange creatures from beyond time and space. What remains of ancient cultures comes back as either dug up remnants, restored blueprint, or cultural concepts that return to public consciousness even after hundreds or thousands of years. The current world is split up into two major halves- the Western Continent, full of geographical differences, with a population of towns and cities separated by miles and connected by dirt roads or railroads. It is known for several large population centers- Ponyville, which somehow keeps a small-town feel despite being something of a agricultural metropolis, Hotbase, home of the Mountain Ogres and the Lava Titan Maltgromme, Coastropolis, a city spanning almost the entire east coast, Desura City, crown jewel of the Glass Desert and home of the Desert Stallyns, and the Frozen Fortress, home of Queen Starlight Glimmer and the polar bears, near the North Pole Palace. There are smaller towns and cities, as well, though those are the biggest dots on the map. To the south is a desert, and further south is a thick jungle, mostly uninhabited except for tribes of Jungle Ogres and other civilizations, seemingly untouched despite the many years...
 
        The Eastern Continent is quite different, with a differently advanced civilization. The ancient magic in the land has been flowing regularly for millenia, imbuing the citizens with innate magical ability, and giving birth to the widespread use of magitech. There are many cities in small countries, though many of them are separated by mountains and outdated notions of nationalism. Further East, the Dark Countries await, full of unknown armies and terrors, such as in the Blackstone Mountain Range.
 
        To the South of the Eastern Continent is the land known as Deathrika, almost completely populated by various breeds of ogres- Jungle Ogres, Desert Ogres, and Mountain Ogres, living in separate tribes, yet all answer to the mysterious King Bang, an ancient immortal from days long forgotten. They have somehow managed to keep ancient technology and techniques safe and in use, such as motor vehicles and ballistic firearms, but fortunately have never banded together, for their combined might could be enough to take over the Eastern Continent.
 
Player Characters
-----------------
The rules for building PCs is as follows-
1. All characters must be young- they may have talents and cutie marks, but must be around the age of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, for reference.
2. PCs are limited to 3 Skill Points. Multiclass characters have 1 point to spend, but are allowed either of their multiclass skills.
3. The Summoner class is OK to use.
 
Advancement
-----------
Throughout the game, characters have the opportunity to advance/empower themselves through several means-
1. Pet Monsters- buying the necessary equipment or learning the required spells will allow a character to capture and train monsters and creatures encountered on their adventures. Commanding these creatures is the same as controlling any normal Minion- 1 is the default, and more may be used by buying Pet Mastery. Players can OWN multiple pets, but can only ACTIVELY USE 1 or more at a time.
2. Class Crystals- There are certain archetypal embodiments of aspects such as the Paladin, Ranger, Rogue, or Bard that exist in this world. If they see fit, they may lend their power to the PCs, allowing them to gain their abilities and strengths as they wish. Class Crystals will allow a player to use the skills of a class, as well as roll bonuses to skills.
3. Artifacts- Within hidden caves, underground complexes full of monsters, and castles, there is an unusual abundance of devices and artifacts that will allow one certain strengths and abilities, or at least make them even better at doing them. Artifacts may be equipped to give the PC roll bonuses towards certain skills.
4. Guardian Spirits- Whether a manifested force of willpower, the result of equipping an artifact, or some bizarre catalyst, these mysterious spirits follow behind the one they are bound to, visible only to others that have these spirits, and only able to be harmed by others with spirits, as well as select weapons. Guardian Spirits are not guaranteed for each PC, though the possibility is present.
