About the adventure

Kaiju Text-Based RPG (Check-In Style) Welcome to a world where giant monsters roam, cities crumble, and fate unfolds one choice at a time. This is a text-based RPG, played through periodic check-ins throughout the day, where every action shapes the evolving story. Games last around 2 months, offering you an epic adventure that fits into your daily life. Set in a gritty, kaiju-infested world, this game blends suspense, survival, and investigation. The city is under siege, and it’s up to you to navigate conspiracies, battle titanic threats, and make alliances that could save—or doom—thousands. Each day brings new challenges, from rescuing civilians and tracking kaiju activity to uncovering the deeper forces controlling these monsters. This isn’t a typical sit-down session; instead, you’ll check in at key moments throughout the day, engaging with the unfolding narrative and working with others to solve mysteries and fight for survival. Expect dynamic storytelling, unexpected twists, and collaborative role-play as you shape the story together. Perfect for fans of kaiju films, survival thrillers, and collaborative storytelling, this game invites you to step into the chaos and leave your mark on a world in turmoil. The city is counting on you—will you rise to the challenge or be crushed beneath the weight of giants?

How will character creation work

When and How: Character creation will take place before the game begins during Session 0, which is held in text chat. This allows us to work together to integrate your character into the story, build connections with other players, and ensure everyone has a shared understanding of the game’s world and tone. Starting Level & Stats: Characters will typically start at Level 1–3, depending on the story and game type. Stats will be rolled or chosen using a standard array (with some flexibility if it fits the narrative). I’m always happy to help with builds, whether you want to play a classic archetype or something truly unique. Customization: This is a highly narrative-focused game, so character backstories and motivations are key. You can expect lots of creative freedom, but we’ll work together to ensure your character fits the setting. If you have an idea for a custom race, class, or magical feature, let’s talk!
