​

GateWalker is set on Earth, hundreds of years in our future.

In the 22nd century, humanity had endured the third world war only to be laid low by the mystically fueled cataclysm that followed. This unknown event released a torrent of powerful magics that surged across the world ripping open inter-dimensional gateways to a thousand different realities. These portal-gates spewed untold horrors; spliced alien landscapes on to ours; and set off a chain reaction of apocalyptic seismic, volcanic, and atmospheric devastation.

Most of the world’s population died within a week.

Those that survived were left to deal with a world that was now only somewhat familiar and in many places down right alien and all of it was definitely hostile. Beset by alien horrors, strange magics, and monsters of old the tattered remains of humanity were left to ride a planet sent spinning into a worldwide dark age.

No one knows how many long years passed.

The human race has crawled from the shadows of Earth’s darkest age, but everything is different now...

• Humanity is not alone. The planet Earth is now home to hundreds, if not thousands, of other sapient species.

• New nations have formed. From isolated city-states, to warring feudal kingdoms, and even powerful nations.

• Monsters are everywhere. Eldritch horrors, alien monstrosities, and creatures of legend roam the wastelands.

• Magic is commonplace. Arcane, divine, and psychic. The familiar magics of old have returned and stranger mystic arts have birthed anew or spilled over from other worlds.

• Technology abounds. Cybertech, robotic combat vehicles, alien devices, and more. High-tech wonders from this and other worlds are waiting to be unearthed.

• Dimensional Gateways. The portal-gates are still active. Blinking open and shut seemingly at random or when coerced by powerful magic or technological super-science.

• Altered Landscape. Around the globe things have changed. Portions of continents have been wiped away, replaced with… something else. Some of these resemble the places they replace, seemingly from another time or parallel reality. Others are earth-like but are very different from what used to be there. Still others are completely alien.

 

The GateWalker setting mixes the standard Pathfinder fantasy and magic with technology, psychic powers, and an emphasis on hybrid/non-core classes.
