What is the TerraDrive Universe?[]

The TerraDrive Universe is the narrative content of TerraDrive, developed by the players, for the players.

The TerraDrive Universe is not a democracy or an anarchy; it is an autocracy. This means that Technomancer Press owns the content (which we license to the general public for free) and is ultimately responsible for it. This is because if the content in some way violates laws or causes damage, we're the ones who are getting shut down or sued. However, Technomancer Press allows the TerraDrive Universe to be primarily governed by those who use it, except in cases we think will bring legal liability or bad karma.

TerraDrive Universe (TDU) content is developed on this wiki by TerraDrive players, TerraDrive Live players, and other gamers who wish to contribute. All content is licensed under a [Creative Commons 3.0 Attribution license http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/], which means you can pretty much do whatever you want with the content, as long as you attribute its source.

The TerraDrive Universe was first announced by Penny Arcade on June 29, 2007, being opened up to PA fans and PAX attendees first.

Player Generated Content[]

"You may contribute content including systems, planets, ships, equipment, cultures, histories, people, or whatever you can think of. It costs nothing. Have fun!" TonyHellmann 11:27, 28 June 2007 (PDT)

The TerraDrive Universe is the first example of player generated content which is supported by a print publisher. Technomancer Press will release TerraDrive adventures set in the TerraDrive Universe. This means that you may buy a TerraDrive adventure and learn that the action takes place on a planet that you named and the bad guys are a crime syndicate your buddy first developed.
