About the adventure
Inspired by Horizon: Zero Dawn and Thea 2: The Shattering. The Ancients built steel towers so tall they scraped the sky, forged machines that never slept, and believed they owned the world. But they were wrong. Machines stole the world from them, and we have been scraping by ever since. Now the ruins whisper at night, the storms move against the wind, and hunters return carrying curses no shaman can understand. Something has awakened beneath the bones of the ancient world. If no one leaves the tribe to uncover the truth soon, humanity may not survive this. 🔥 Try not to get crushed by machines while exploring the world of the Ancients 🔥 Carry the hopes and unite other survivors, outcasts and mystics under your cause 🔥 Feel the thrill of bringing down machines and turning their metal into tools of your own 🔥 Steal and wield the power of awakening gods before they steal your soul 🔥 Decide whether humanity will reclaim the world—or vanish with it The Cypher system is a flexible game that focuses on the story first and foremost, allowing mechanics for characters to drive the story forward in creative ways. It's very easy to learn!

About me
🌟 Hi! I’m Nina, a Chilean Dungeon Master with over 10 years of experience running Dungeons & Dragons 5e, and currently exploring new game systems as well. 💬 With me as your GM, you can expect: - A supportive, friendly, and flexible game master - A focus on your goals, character arcs, and fun - A safe and inclusive table for everyone - A sprinkle of silliness, when appropriate! Whether you’re brand new to the game or a seasoned adventurer, I aim to create a welcoming space full of exciting encounters, collaborative storytelling, and laughter. I especially love helping beginners learn the ropes and discover the magic of roleplay. I run games in English or Spanish (¡también hablo español!), so if you're looking for an adventure in either language, you're in the right place. 🎲 Kindness, camaraderie, and creativity are my guiding stars. Let’s roll some dice and tell some amazing stories together!
