Premise:
The Accretion Gospel came to be when the question came up in my gaming group- “I wonder what it would be like to play a campaign that used D&D and d20 Modern supplements at the same time?”
Over the course of a few months, I came up with a setting for it, combining the swords and sorcery antics of D&D with the high technology and more customizable roles of D20 Modern. Taking inspiration from a variety of science fiction and fantasy tales, my playgroup and I collaborated to create a world where magic and science could co-exist both mechanically and flavorfully.
The campaign, although higher powered than typical d20 Modern and lower powered than standard D&D, is designed to support a lot of action and adventure, but also has been very supportive of some really quality roleplaying.
The ultimate goal is to create a campaign world in which myself and my players can act out a grand space epic all their own, where they can experience the fun of traditional D&D without the limitations of your standard D&D conventions- a world as of yet explored, where countless lifeforms and strange phenomenon co-exist tenuously.
