Hello! My name is Drek, and im looking for one or two people to join an online RPG!
The Pitch:
Its been some time since "the most powerful man in the universe" obtained his position. Since that time, generations have passed, and yet it seems like he, nor anyone else, has a good idea for how to save whats left of sapient existence. The universe, save our little corner, is empty. Bereft of life. A universally aggressive entity, a terrible pseudo-hivemind, has only three substantial galaxies left to consume: Triangulum, Milky Way, and Andromeda, as well as their satellites. The single ray of hope is that, right now, the largest military in this part of the universe seems to be keeping them at bay enough to bide time. But we are finite. They have large enough numbers to be considered infinite. We are the Universe's last twitch in the throes of death.
But, that is for the changed, the mutated, and the demi-gods to manage. Even the unseen hells, full to the brim of the dead, is breaking every universal rule to find a way to keep everything from ending. That is not why you're out here. You're out here to help with a different threat.
For some time now, the old things, things that hid in the quiet unknown, things that were only known in the whispers of mythology and time, have been stepping into the light. You're here for them. You're here to, one by one, rid the galaxy of things that go bump in the night. Malignant spirits, immortal cannibals, the possessed, and more. Nothing and no one should live forever, and certainly not prey, figuratively or literally, on mortal men.
This is the purpose of the CLSS Solace in Death.
About the Game:
I tend to communicate these things by vibe instead of genre, so this may be a bit vague! Bear with me.
The setting is "homebrew", during a science fiction type era. There is an
ungodly amount of lore involved, which we will need to discuss as a group.
The general idea, or feeling, im going for in the setting is a SciFi story wherein most of the known galaxy is at least
somewhat aware that gods exist, and that the guy who revealed this information (a person that became a "god" entirely by accident) is extremely jaded with the state of the Universe. But, most have decided they're not going without a fight. People, broadly, are feisty and hopeful and ready to sacrifice a lot to make sure "people", as a broad concept, see tomorrow. But, the vibe of the narrative of the actual
game will be some kind of scifi-horror-monster-hunt kind of thing.
All of my (60~ish?) races are homebrew. Some are humanoid to the point of comedy, some are
really not.
IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THIS GAME: IT MAY BE
VERY ROLEPLAY HEAVY! IF YOU PREFER TO FIGHT AND ROLL DICE, THIS IS NOT THE GAME FOR YOU.
THE SYSTEM IS HOMEBREW, SOMEWHAT SIMILAR TO DND3.5. THERE ARE NO CLASSIC "CLASSES". THE "MAGIC SYSTEM" MY SYSTEM USES IS UNIQUE TO MY SYSTEM.
!!!
PLEASE CONSIDER BOTH OF THESE THINGS!!!
About the GM: im a 31 year old queer person (they/it) that writes fiction, mostly in the form of novels. This game, and all of my other games, are based in the cannon in which i write, which is very dense and very large.
As a personal note about me, I like linguistics, sitting on my balcony with a nice cigar, an occasional glas of whisky, or, if im feeling fancy, an old fashioned. I enjoy cooking. Im married to a wonderful guy, and we nerd out together about things like 40K and the Monster Hunter g
Videogames. My favorite game (and the only one im good at) is Bloodborne, with Halo 2 as a close second.
About Who Im Looking for:
I currently have two confirmed players. Both (i think) identify as some form of queer.
If you have "weird (negative) feelings" about the LGBTQ÷ community, minorities of
any type, religion as a concept, or
reasonable mental illness/disability accommodation, this group is not for you.
Current day of play is Wednesday. Theres not a ton of room for negotiation on this.
If you got this far thank you for reading my post! Im hopeful to hear from someone!
