Chrono X Valor

[lesyay]

The timeline theory proposes that history has only one true timeline. When significant changes occur, a timeline may branch, but time is not infinite - the flow of time spreads itself too thin, and one branch dies while the other continues on as the true timeline.

This was true... once. Before the destruction of the Chronos, the being that consumed time.




YEAR 1882
A DIFFERENT TIMELINE...

A NEW ADVENTURE BEGINS

Grab your sword, your gun, and your magic, and hop aboard a riverboat. Or steamship. Or starship.

Different timelines, alternate universes, they're real, and they're beginning to cross over. Something is breaking the fragile balance between them, and it's up to you to figure out what that is.


CHRONO X VALOR (pronounced Chrono Cross Valor) is a future tabletop campaign and a sequel campaign to Chrono Valor. Playing in Chrono Valor is not a requirement to play in Chrono X Valor, as they occur in different timelines anyhow.

In the main timeline, 1882 is the time of steamships, firearms, and cool hats. The world has five nations; Windam, the western kingdom of nobility and knights; Vola, the monster kingdom in the Eastern planes; the Lightwater Republic, a nation between the two along the Lightwater River; Frigg, the northern islands where Vikings and firearms both originate; and Ignes, the dry, arid Southern nation.

But in your timeline... who knows how history unfolded? Feel free to concoct strange alternate universes, we're gonna explore them all.

The system will be Valor, naturally.

I am also very interested in this one, because AUs are awesome.

Is the entire party intended to be from the main timeline?

[lesyay]

absolutely not everybody can be from their own AU

This is Doom

[forwantofahorse]

Oh hell yes.

I'm thinking an amnesiac-type character who, for reasons totally unknown, does not meaningfully exist in any timeline. And I'm not talking about "their existence is a secret" but more "they are completely foreign to every timeline they're in and they want to find out why" being their driving impetus. With the reason of this fuckery being up to GM and whoever makes up the backstory, of course.

I’m more into this than Persona Valiant, and the first concept that came to mind is to come up with an AU where the divergence point was millions of years ago and just build the weirdest possible world I can think of. Cities are built on the backs of giant nomadic mushrooms. The dead live on in giant crystalline computers. The ocean has been replaced by one giant planet encompassing amoeba. Shit is almost entirely unrecognizable as the same fucking planet.

Jisu here. I'd definitely be up for this! If it's that far out into the future, I'll probably have all different ideas when it comes time, but I'll see if I can't come up with ideas.

(Also, I was logged into the journal from the 1880s canon when this came up, I had to.)

This is Holly

You know what I've never done a companion build.

I wanna be a Mecha-Paladin from Cyber-Windam. Extendable neon lightsword because the Fluoreschion never dies. Robot squire. Undercut. Leather jacket. Sworn to serve a ruler of increasingly sus morals and is quickly reaching a breaking point.

I'm Awe.

[awestriker]

Well, I'm excited. Monster kingdom immediately grabs me on "what if this was different?"

minki

[financialsecurity]

well here we are again. going with an alien dude because someone's gotta be this campaign's starky.

how much i'm gonna lean into being a joke character depends on the party make up.
