Hello perspective player! I've set up a Living World discord server with a unique world. Its very Rules-lite, RP being custom (heavily taking from Salvage Union) and Steel Rift for most combat. It is Play-By-Post, with me handling the map and rulings so that it can be time-zone and time-available agnostic! (Also feel free to send pics of physical minis if you want to use/display them! The system is mini-agnostic for anyone interested in playing Steel Rift locally.) There are several changes now that I have made so that its easier to manage as a PbP game (inches to Hex Tiles), as well as things that give more options to players. You wont need to buy a copy of the rules, as I have them available on the server. Advanced Rules will be added over time, both to not overwhelm players but also so I can cherry pick what works with the League and missions that I will present players with (and to a lesser extent the flimsy lore I have for this game-world). Players will be a General Purpose Administrator/Logistics A.I. (aka ʒenais), usually manufactured and purchased by Militaries and MegaCorps for admin work on large vessels and in company-cities. In this case though, the players have been purchased by an Underboss of a Redlight planet. They'll be placed in control of the crime faction's Blood Sport Assets in the burgeoning, new Mecha Coliseums popping up all around the seedy ecumenopolis. You'll put together HE-Vs and teams and enter them into Bouts, Tournaments, Leagues, etc. Obtain purses and prizes from wins, bet on other player's matches for side profit, and go Rogue to get out from under the crime boss's thumb! Eventually players will be able to accept contracts off world for MegaCorps and Sovereignties (ala BattleTech style) and will be able to flex more of the mission types and advanced rules over time. I'm running it via a purpose made Discord server and using Tabletop Sim purely so the maps and models will be a bit more exciting than a 2d, top-town grid. There is currently only 1 mechanical roll tied to Roleplay itself (subject to change depending on what players decide to get up to). You can always hit me with ideas and things you'd like to see that we can work together to make happen! If anyone is interested feel free to DM me and ask any questions you might have! A final note: The game is tagged as 18+, please respect that. And if any player has a concern about anything (including regarding me) please feel empowered to bring it to my attention so it can be resolved!

Hello there and thanks for taking the time to view this post!  We recently lost a couple of players and I'm looking to fill those spaces with like-minded players . I'm an aging DM who played a lot of systems back in the 90s like 2nd edition AD&D, Dangerous Journeys and Vampire. I've been back into 5th edition in the last 5 years. I love to write stories using my player's backgrounds as my muse.  No, I'm not the best DM but I promise you a good story, and good people. Who are we? * Mature group (30+) * We like RP and shenanigans * We offer a safe and welcoming environment * We are not power-gamers * We run 2 hour sessions every two weeks (though this may change if enough people agree) * We are not rule-bashers. We have all been DM's and support each others Who are you? * Mature and respectful * 21+ * Can do long term campaign * Has a PC and a decent internet connection * Someone that knows that vibe is more important than experience AI DISCLAIMER I have a full-time job and a family so I don't get a lot of time to write. I use a local AI LLM to perform mundane tasks (create a session recap from bulletpoints etc) and I also use Claude to spitball ideas. I do not use AI to generate art and I never used it to generate maps The story, NPC's and all creative decisions are my own and I love fusing the lore of the world with the backstory of my players. If you have any issues with AI (and I totally respect that), this is not the game for you. Campaign Here's a little about the campaign but there will be MUCH more info in the session 0. Of Gears and Gods is a homebrew D&D 5e campaign set in Eberron. Its first chapter, set in the quaint, port town of Moonwatch, is now complete. A band of strangers, brought together by a mysterious device called the Nexus, has survived drug-running gangs, a plot to turn the town's population against the warforged and a cursed crisis that almost turned the citizens into an undead horde. The next chapter is ready, and we’re looking for new players to step in, building characters with us who will shape what comes next. Huzzah!
