# It all starts here..
You live as an explorer, a mercenary, a soldier, or just an ordinary being in the dystopian world collectively known as The Borderlands. Conquerors have taken over known space, and the corporatocracy of the great arms manufacturers tightly controls the six galaxies. If you possess money and a lot of guns, you've made it. If you lack both, a skag hotdog holds more value than you. In fact, selling your leg as skag meat might be a better option.
However, in this local cluster where guns reign supreme and thinkers are nothing more than yesterday's carcasses, no one has ever thought to ask a very pertinent question: Why do they call these galaxies The Borderlands? If you are at the border, what are you keeping out, and what are you keeping in?
Does this not sound like you? Perhaps you [should leave while you have the chance](https://tenebrousdragon.com/home).
## The setting
Arbiters of Fate is set in the semi-fictional universe of [The Borderlands](https://borderlands.2k.com/), delving into the mysteries hidden within its six galaxies and the unknown that lurks beyond their edges. This campaign is a blend of high fantasy and high sci-fi, featuring multiple groups of adventurers. Most games have the option of a multiverse element.

### The system
This game utilizes the [Bunkers & Badasses](https://tinytinagames.com/) (BnB) TTRPG system as its foundation. Additionally, I have included some adaptations for a standard d6/d20 system and Pathfinder 2nd Edition (PF2E) to enhance gameplay diversity and accessibility.
Campaigns are currently being conducted both in-person and online, utilizing [Foundry VTT](https://foundryvtt.com/) for virtual tabletop sessions.
