conversations.value: The desert is an unforgiving place.
  
  It’s a rare occurrence to find a town in the vast, forgotten wasteland known as Qvis. It’s even harder to find food, and water is practically a myth to most people. Towns crop up and fade away in the space of weeks. Some might not have existed to begin with. Friendships and alliances dissolve likewise, as fragile and temporary as the sandy dunes.
  
  But, somehow, life marches on, finding purchase in even the barest and hottest of places. Life...and death.
  
  Because in the Qvis Desert, the question isn’t if you might die, or even when. It’s just a matter of how.
  
  .....
  
  This will be a survival experience, as the players, meeting for whatever reason, attempt to survive together in the Qvis Desert. Looking for three players minimum, but the story can accommodate plenty more.
  
  Characters CAN die, and the story will be significantly player-driven, depending on actions taken. This is meant to be more of a fantasy setting than any "real-world" place.
  
  Feel free to make new Natures, Strengths, or Weaknesses, using the existing ones as examples.
  
  Technology levels generally include just about anything from before the year 2000, but good luck finding an outlet. Think the original *Fallout* game, without the wacky 50s future-tech, and with a little bit of *Mad Max* thrown in there for good measure.
  
  Third-person present tense.
