Create an interesting setting where humanity is enslaved, anons. Be sure to provide a reason as to why this is so.
>hard mode
No escaping from slavery or successful slave revolts
Enslaved Humanity
Demigod-esque Giants have enslaved humanity and use them as weapons to fight the forces of Dragons.
Why is Holo crying, OP?
This is not OK. Why did you make my wife cry?
Elves are too slender, dwarves are too short, halflings to small, goblins too diseased, orcs too dumb.
Humans are just prime slave material, enough brains and brawn to get stuff done without constant rebellions. Once the other races discovered the bountiful kingdoms of man, they set upon us like a pack of wolves, rending our kingdoms asunder and placing the species under the yolk.
The Illithid finally succeed in rebuilding their future empire from the past and all of humanity is made into thralls and cattle.
Terminator but no John Connor.
>Hard mode
Why no revolts it revolution? Do you just hate actual drama? Or are you hoping this thread just gives you bullied loli jerkoff material?
>Why no successful revolts or revolution?
Because the entire point is to put players in an interesting situation, if the slavery occurred in the past and the humans in the present either escaped or successfully revolted then it's just backstory, not an interesting premise.
How is orchestrating or joining an insurrection movement not interesting?
World we live in is a crudely created AI factory.
Religions of the book provide basic 'laws' to oriented human development.
At death, humans are reaped. Deficient ones are deleted, virtuous ones are put to work.
No escape is possible, but true death, attained through a life a sin.
Because it'll probably be one of the first things the players do, after which you're back to a somewhat normal setting. The goal is to find ways to keep things interesting while not breaking out of slavery, hence why it's called "Hard mode".
