About Strange Aeons
The world as it was is a memory. When The Bloom fell, it didn't just kill—it rewrote reality. Cities are now crystalline Spires that defy gravity. Plains glow with bioluminescent corruption. The dead walk as husks. Reality itself has fractured.
You are a survivor capable of bonding with The Bloom without losing yourself. In a world where the air hums with metallic static and the sky is perpetual violet twilight, your goals are simple: survive, scavenge, and push back the encroachment of the Great Ones.

👁️ What is The Bloom?
The Bloom is a cosmic corruption that rewrites reality at a fundamental level. It manifests as purple crystalline growths, bioluminescent flora, and reality-warping phenomena. The Bloom doesn't just kill—it transforms, corrupts, and integrates.
- Origin: Unknown. Possibly extradimensional. Possibly the Great Ones' influence made manifest.
- Effect: Corrupts living things, warps reality, creates impossible structures.
- Spread: Through spores, direct contact, and reality tears.
- The Great Ones: Cosmic entities that may control or feed on The Bloom.
- Hope: Some survivors have learned to resist. A few even bond with it safely.
⚙️ Game Mechanics
🎲 Dice Pool System
d10 pools with target number 7+. More successes = better outcomes. Modifiers add or remove dice.
🔧 Crafting & Survival
Scavenge materials, build stations (Stove, Workbench, Forge), craft gear and consumables. Tier 1-4 progression.
💔 Wounds & Stability
Track physical wounds and mental stability. Bloom exposure degrades both. Healing requires resources.
🌀 Bloom Corruption
Track exposure to The Bloom. High corruption grants powers but risks transformation. Balance is survival.
