Welcome to Arcydea!
Arcydea is a world of chaos and contradiction, a coin-shaped planet that is prone to frequent rifts and dimensional vortexes, throwing a wide variety of characters into this large and strange world. Worldwide mana patterns are semi-predictable by region, but tend to fluctuate and shift with weather and lunar patterns. There are two moons - Brightshine, which cycles every 45 days, and Century, which cycles once every century. The current year in Arcydea is 1396. Arcydea has its own calendar system based on six-day weeks and six-week months, with five celebration feast days at the end of one normal year.
Practically any character concept you can think of, including characters based on popular fiction and other games, is allowable within Arcydea, as long as it fits within the character point level for the specific campaign you are playing in. Games in Arcydea are currently run using GURPS 4th Edition.
