Beyond the Veil of Cares

Date: Gaming Weekend, September 2008
Setting: Lost Vegas 2488

Introduction

The year is 2488. It has been 500 years since the Final War when Professor Coldheart defeated the Care Bears. Without Care Bear intervention, the major world superpowers turned on each other, culminating in nuclear Armageddon, plunging the world into Eternal uncaring and nuclear winter.

You are slaves in Cold-a-Lot (the ruins of Care-a-Lot), where Emperor Coldheart rules from his throne of frozen plush skulls. You toil in the ice mines, suffering beneath the lash of the Elite Uncaring-Bear Death-Squads. You are fitted with a Care-Inhibitor Collar to prevent the use of your Stare.

All is darkness and despair. But there is a prophecy that, one day, the Once-and-Future Bear will return to defeat Coldheart and bring Caring back to the world. That day may be today. You have heard rumors that the Care-o-Meter of the ancients has stirred to life, showing a small bright spot of Caring in the desert Kingdom of Lost Vegas on Earth. This must be the prophesied return of the Once-and-Future Bear. It MUST.

Coldheart will certainly send his Elite troops to ensure that this small glimmer of hope is stamped out, but maybe you can stop him and save the world from another 500 years of Uncaring.

You know what you must do. Remove the Care-Inhibitor, Escape Cold-a-Lot, Travel to Lost Vegas, Find Once-and-Future Bear, and Return with him to Cold-a-Lot to defeat Emperor Coldheart and restore the balance!
