NEON INFINITY: A One Week Free Trial Sci-Fi Text Game!

About the adventure
A One Week Free Trial in the NU System! Welcome to Neon Infinity, a sci-fi/cyberpunk absurdist sandbox where everything glows, nothing is sacred, and you might get mugged by a sentient vending machine named God. This is a free trial session for new players looking to get a taste of what it’s like to dive into the NU (Narrative Universe)—a sprawling, cinematic multiverse where every game feels like the finale of a show you just binge-watched at 3AM. You’ll play alongside your ragtag crew of cyber-enhanced weirdos, synthetic outlaws, neon mystics, and laser cowboys trying to make a name for yourselves in a digital undercity built on lies, algorithms, and the occasional rogue kaiju. The galaxy is crumbling under the boot of Pershing Assay (don’t worry, you’ll hate them soon), and your crew might just be dumb enough to matter. How Our Text Games Work: Check-In: To get started, simply check in by typing a message in the designated channel. Let us know you're ready to play! Roll Dice: When it's time for an action or decision, you'll roll virtual dice to determine the outcome. Results are shared in the chat. Story Progression: Based on your rolls and actions, the story progresses! You’ll interact with NPCs, explore, and face challenges in real-time as we build a story together. Collaborate: Work with others in the game or go solo. The game is all about creativity and collaboration! Ready to dive in? Let’s rock!
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

What I provide
I bring wild, cinematic chaos with heart—custom-built multiversal madness full of unforgettable characters, surreal twists, and the kind of storytelling where comedy, horror, and epic action collide. My style mixes high-stakes player agency with rule-of-cool flair, dynamic roleplay, and fast-paced narrative beats. Whether you’re slinging spells on a cyberpunk hoverboard or negotiating with a kaiju-sized alien in a cowboy hat, you’re in for an experience that’s unpredictable, stylish, and just the right kind of weird. Expect laughs. Expect feels. Expect the unexpected.
