WHEN PROMETHEUS STOLE FIRE, WAS IT A BAD MIRACLE —

WHAT IS A BIRTHRIGHT? Is it the spoils of your country or the blight of your parents? Is it fortune upon their deaths or the inheritance of their debt? Is it doing the right thing in your family’s name or what’s best for its safekeeping? It is the year 997. You feel as though everyday there’s a new disaster — a terrorist attack by Telorevan superhumans, a data leak from another corporation, rising sea levels, inexplicable forest fires, whole city blocks evaporated or left in rubble. A new reason to be afraid every day. As a child of the Empire, this is your birthright: AN OVER-TILLED LAND, LEFT DUST TO DUST. ASHES TO ASHES. WILL YOU BE ITS REDEMPTION? WHAT IS SAFETY? Is freedom from or freedom to? Is it the use of fire for cleansing the fields, warming your family, or burning your enemies? It is the year 998. You finally are beginning to have a sense of control — over yourself, over others, over the world. As a child of the Empire and a product of Project VRTU, you have realized your birthright: A MACHINE THAT NEVER STOPS. WILL YOU BE ITS DESTRUCTION?

˖ ݁ 𖥔 . 𖥔 .𖥔 ݁ ˖

PROJECT VRTU is an armament research project funded by L'Universite De Apollonio and the government of the Egressian Empire. It is intended to create the next weapon to end all war, including the current cold war with Telorev, a rival country. Ultimate safety is what the Project offers. Its team, consisting of our cast, has worked tirelessly for the past year to turn its test subjects, all capable of extra-worldly abilities, into cyborgs that are near indestructible. Our plot begins with the Project transitioning to testing, which consists of our team going undercover as a bounty hunting team and taking down a rap sheet of increasingly difficult bounties.

— OR FALSE DIVINITY?

VEIL OF IGNORANCE is a 21+ sci-fi/fantasy rp inspired by mecha anime, moral philosophy, and the People’s History of the United States. Our story starts during the testing phase of Project VRTU, an endeavor to create weapons out of people capable of Miracles. With a cast of both researchers and test subjects, our characters will be forced to confront who they were, who they are, and who they will be.

EVERY TIME I DESCRIBE A CITY, I AM SPEAKING ABOUT HOME.

IT STARTS LIKE ALL THINGS START: WITH CHOICES AND THE HANDS THAT MAKE THEM. Don't call this an accident, but don't call it fate either: neither is to blame, nor should either reap all the acclaim. The city of ARDEN, hung with a million lanterns and a thousand shrines, blossoms out of the ocean, and above her hangs the wreckage of the sun— her god desiccated, but never destroyed. Through her streets walk many things: small gods, hands that build, hands that steal, and even the machines of industry that might make her anew and alien. ARDEN IS HAVEN, IS OASIS, IS EYE OF THE STORM for the conflicts that wage beyond her ports, that flicker far from her shores. But eyes of storms never stay put— and the world threatens to turn calm shores into a city, broiling. AND IN HER HEART: a band of petty thieves, bound together by circumstance and need, find themselves on a heist that might disrupt the balance of things— that might even return the sun.

✧✧✧

OVERMORROW is a 21+ industrial fantasy heist limited run discord rp set in ARDEN, THE CITY OF SMALL GODS, focusing on a band of criminals thrown into the machinations of gods. It is inspired by Marielda, Blades in the Dark, Italo Calvino's Invisible Cities, and The Six of Crows duology. The game explores themes of industrialization, home, agency, belief, and what we owe each other.

The future is not a straight line. It is filled with many crossroads. There must be a future that we can choose for ourselves.

O EURYDICE, (…) WHO KNOWS WHAT YOU’LL TELL THE FURIES WHEN YOU SEE THEM AGAIN.

The note sits in the palm of your hand. Quaver, double flag. When was the last time you heard real music?

Outside, the sun beckons. Dust storms stir; tsunami in the tropics; gunshot in your ear. It’s 2100 and Earth is dying, constellations stripped of light and sent to the ground — or maybe just the pit of your stomach, where hunger has made its home. Where you stand, bare-lunged, days passing like a butchering.

Blue light from the music note. Words slicing air.

THE UNIVERSE ENDS IN SIX MONTHS. HOW MANY LIVES WILL YOU LIVE BEFORE THEN?

⋅𖥔⋅

It’s 2100 and the totalitarian S Corp has a hold on the world’s food and water, a necropolitical machine that decides who lives and dies. Faced with a massive solar flare that will soon render this galaxy uninhabitable, S Corp has managed a true feat of science: contact with parallel consciousnesses of those living within other universes through the manipulation of strings dimension folds within the brain, allowing certain subjects to jump between worlds. Their mission? To find a solution to humanity’s demise in a more technologically advanced universe. Unless they’re a better version of themself somewhere else. Unless unmet dreams are justification enough for a universe’s doom.

TELL THEM THERE IS NO MUSIC LIKE THIS WITHOUT REAL GRIEF.

PROJECT ORPHEUS is a 21+ science fiction multiverse roleplay inspired by Interstellar, Sense8, and Everything Everywhere All At Once. Our story begins underground in one of Earth’s last remaining cities, with our cast poised to hop universes for the first time. The game explores themes of string theory, desire, corruption, alternate selves, duality, regret, and longing. With the planet’s life on the line and sinister foes at their backs, characters will have to make mind-shattering choices, confront their failings, and not look back.

the fact that tolkien started writing lord of the rings, realised that the entire concept of the one ring made various plot elements of the hobbit fall to pieces, and dealt with this by saying 'the reason this makes no sense is because the hobbit is from bilbo's perspective and he fudged the truth' is already extremely powerful. but then he actually went the extra mile and re-released the book as essentially the same book but with the plot holes fixed and said 'please enjoy this Objectively True version of this story, untainted by bilbo's mischievous lies' like what a flex. absolute madlad
