About the adventure
The setting will be voted on in the server, so we can settle on a major city somewhere in the world which is most familiar to our cast. No matter where it turns out to be, however, there will be a seedy underbelly of paranormal prestation with its fingers in every pie. I would call this system powered by the apocalypse, of course, and with a dash of blades-like rules. When time passes, there’s a “faction turn” wherein the alliances of the city pull moves, attacking each other and stealing, creating a backdrop of chaos and crime. We’ll choose the city. We’ll come up with the factions, the characters, the food chain. So when it comes to what makes this game unique, the answer is us.

About me
I’m CIS, white, male, neurodivergent, pansexual-panromantic and the type of person who respects it if you need to know those things about me before we play. I gotchu. I’ve been running games for about 15 years now, I spend so much time on it that I can’t justify it financially, anymore, without charging. Over time I’ve gotten very improvisational, preferring to leap right into session zero and let the character discussion fuel my plans. I prefer play by post, and I like my familiar systems, but I’m charging for this, I’m aware of my limits and capabilities, and I’m very particular, so you can expect the utmost effort at making this experience right for you; Any system you want I can learn. This is my safe space, and I aim to share that safety with everyone involved; Lines and veils will be anonymous and unchallenged. Prejudice and abuse will not be tolerated, repeat offenders and their icky money will be kicked out and not invited back.

Creating your character
Like most Powered by the Apocalypse games, this game runs on playbooks, a series of questions and choices that, once answered, compose a unique character. The first month of play will consist of creating these characters and fleshing out the setting. Reskins are welcome! Only the mechanics must remain unchanged, the rest is up to us.
We have a Veteran currently.

How Jeremy creates a safe table
Lines and Veils must be discussed before session 0 begins. The content warnings for this game are not guarantees, they’re boundaries within which I’m comfortable stretching. If you have lines and veils that don’t include violence, gang politics or baseline supernatural horror, this can still be the game for you.
