Lotus Dimension takes place in a slightly futuristic world in which portals have opened up leading from Earth to other realms. Players work together to explore these realms and achieve objectives in a structured quest. 

Each player creates his or her own character, choosing from a list of eccentric modern-day archetypes like hacker, mystic, parkour specialist, and more, then customizing their specialties. Player levels and stats are loosely designed around the noble eightfold path in Buddhism and the concept of karma.

One player acts as a guru guide, leading the other players through each quest. Players brainstorm together to solve problems, evade or defeat monsters or villains, overcome obstacles, deploy magic, obtain treasure and other rewards, free prisoners and find the way forward -- all while causing the least harm possible.

• Guru Guide Handbook
• Player Handbook
• Quest #1: Liberation in the Zeppelins
