Twilight: 2000 — Against the Dying of the Light

How to prepare

Players will need a computer and web browser compatible with Foundry VTT, a Discord account, a microphone, and a webcam. TTRPGs are a social game and webcams help facilitate the feel of being in a room together at a table. With that said, you are not required to have a webcam. Everything else will be provided by the GM.

What I provide

A FoundryVTT server and the official Foundry module for the fourth edition of Twilight: 2000 from Free League Publishing. A Discord server. A short campaign overview about the world and setting. Consent Checklist document. X cards are handled through a module in Foundry.

Gameplay details

This game is 18+ due to its subject matter. We will use a consent checklist prior to the start of the game. This is a beginner and LGBTQ+ friendly game. I'm new to the 4th edition of Twilight: 2000 so we will learn the ropes together. We are several sessions into the campaign. Characters are a mix of U.S./NATO soldiers, local soldiers, or civilians. It is a lethal game so player characters might die but what they do with the time they have is worth exploring. The stories of this game are created by us together. They are not written down beforehand. You have control over your character's lives – and there is plenty to do: Stay Alive, Help Those in Need, Search for Information, Find or Make your own Safe Haven, Find a Way Home, Reset the World GM Details: I’m a novelist and writer for tabletop role-playing games. I’ve been playing and running various TTRPGs since discovering the Dungeons & Dragons basic set in grade school. Most recently, I’ve run The One Ring, Star Trek Adventures, and Twilight: 2000 (4th edition). In my approach to tabletop role-playing games, I embrace the belief that each game serves as a platform for collaborative storytelling within the framework of its rules. My primary aim is to empower players to immerse themselves in a narrative style of play, fostering shared storytelling between them and the GM. These games, in their essence, echo the timeless tradition of oral storytelling, a practice ingrained in our history long before the advent of written language. Stories are integral to our understanding of self and the world, often giving rise to myths and shaping our perceptions. While I emphasize 'theater of the mind' as our main canvas, I do incorporate visual aids like maps and tokens when they enhance the experience. Stories are at the heart of tabletop role-playing games. It's why I love them. I've been both GM and Player for over twenty years. As a GM, I try to lean into the collaborative storytelling aspect of these games. Though Twilight: 2000 uses maps and tokens, expect a narrative focus. My passion lies in facilitating collaborative storytelling within the virtual confines of our tabletop sessions.
