<p>Powered by the Apocalypse is a tabletop role playing framework developed by Meguey and Vincent Baker, originally for the game <a href="http://apocalypse-world.com/"><em>Apocalypse World</em></a> but later publicly released for anyone to use.

<p>In this setting, your story takes place more than a hundred years in the future in a time where humanity has figured out how to upload consciousnesses to a digital world called at first simply the System (a holdover from its early days of secrecy, so vague a name as to keep discussions hard to trace) and later, after a launch of two smaller copies out of the Solar system, Lagrange, Castor, and Pollux.</p> <p>In this setting, your story takes place more than a hundred years in the future in a time where humanity has figured out how to upload consciousnesses to a digital world called at first simply the System (a holdover from its early days of secrecy, so vague a name as to keep discussions hard to trace) and later, after a launch of two smaller copies out of the Solar system, Lagrange &mdash; the construct that remained at the Earth-Moon L<sub>5</sub> point &mdash; and the two launch vehicles (LVs), Castor and Pollux.</p>
<h2 id="the-shared-dream">The shared dream</h2>
<p>The System is not a purely digital haven. It&rsquo;s not a construct bound by our ideas of some virtual reality. They tried, at first, and some remnants remain from that &mdash; new creations or instances are still tagged with a unique hash in the form of eight hexadecimal digits and System denizens still speak of sims and avatars &mdash; but that&rsquo;s not how the System ended up working. When it was first created, those who remained <em>phys-side</em> couldn&rsquo;t conceptualize it in any other way. Those <em>sys-side</em>, however, knew better. Rather than an analogue to virtual reality, it was more like a consensual dream. What was possible on the System was limited to that which all minds could consensually dream.</p>
<p>This was, at first, pure chaos. That limit alone was not quite enough: what all were able to imagine did not guarantee that all sys-side actually experienced the same thing, and it wasn&rsquo;t until late 2110s that work was put in place to ensure that experiences were truly consensual.</p>
<p>The fact remains, however, that the world has more in common with dreams than with a dream of the physical world than the &lsquo;net.</p>
