Threefold is the made-for-Modern AGE campaign setting. Games like The Expanse use Modern AGE, but Threefold was made for Modern AGE. Needless to say, you need a copy of Modern AGE to play Threefold.
In Threefold there are other worlds, other planes or pockets of existence, and they’re connected by Gates. There are alternative Earths, Otherworlds were science falters, demon controlled Netherworlds and less well-known places.
Secrets, there are secrets too (threefold secrets, in fact) which might bring hope or horror. Players are agents of one of the setting’s powerful factions. PCs could be aligned to the interplanar Sodality or the cyborgs of the Aethon.

The cool thing about Threefold is that you can tailor the setting of your game to match your… Read more »
Good advice. Thanks!
The book is gorgeous. I got mine just after GenCon and I’ve read the whole thing and want more.
