PuddleJumpers

Inspired by the hopeful adventure stories of Becky Chambers, Guillarme Singelin, and Owen Pomery. PuddleJumpers swaps the expanse of space and clusters of planets for the span of oceans and dotted archipelagos. Gently optimistic stories in a flooded word.

After sea-level rise consigned the old ways of living below the waves, communities gathered on what little land-mass was left and found a way to survive.

Trade is limited between settlements, with slow boats the only option for most. However, if you've got something time-sensitive or important, you can hire a 'PuddleJumper'. These couriers pilot lightweight, electricity-powered planes across the open ocean.

'Jumpers' have their own code and ways of doing things. Byron blasted a lot of those traditions out of the water when he stole another PuddleJumper's medallion out from under her and took off into the Blue. Now, two years later, he has a chance to redeem himself and find a way into a fellowship he's fantasised of being a part of since he was a child.
