Blood in the Bluegrass: A Walking Dead Tale
We tend to take a lot of things for granted, even today - when the world has gone all to hell and the dead have risen again to consume us. Back before everything happened, when the military failed and they... they bombed the cities, we lived in a different reality, one that seems almost fantastical now even though it had its problems. I remember waking up to the sound of birds chirping outside my window, or that Leja would be whining and complaining about having to go to school; the warmth of the sun gently nudging me out of sleep as I had to get up and prepare for the day. There was this sense of security, a belief that tomorrow would be just like today, predictable and stable.
We had luxuries that we didn't even realize were luxuries at the time. Like running water. I mean, can you imagine? You turn a knob and clean water flows out, effortlessly. We used to waste it, let it run while we brushed our teeth or took long showers just because we could. Now, every drop is precious, scavenged from rain barrels or murky streams, boiled and filtered until it's safe to drink. The same with food; grocery stores packed to the brim with fresh produce, meats neatly packaged on Styrofoam trays, aisles upon aisles of snacks and canned goods. We never worried about where our next meal would come from. Now, we scavenge abandoned homes and overrun gardens, praying that the best and most tasty meal I can get is some highly syruped cat food.
Sometimes I wonder if we'll ever get back to that place, if we'll ever rebuild what we've lost. But then I look around at the broken streets, the crumbling buildings, the ever-present threat of the dead, and I'm not so sure. Mamá says that there has to be a life or a place out there for us... but I know that she really means me and Alejandra. Ever since Juliana died last winter... she... she hasn't been the same. She rarely eats, rarely sleeps, and I catch her glancing both at me and Alejandra every so often in a way that sends a pit down my throat. I can hear her crying sometimes at night; she tries to be silent, but it's enough for me to hear - enough so that I have to bring Alejandra close and cover her ears so she doesn't have to feel sad that her mother is giving up hope.
I miss Juliana too. Her laughter used to fill the house, her energy was so contagious and honestly got on my nerves sometimes, Papá's too - especially with all the trouble that she got in with dudes. Now, the silence that hangs heavy in her absence is a constant reminder of all we've lost. I try to remember the best of her, all the good times and the stupid teenage shit that she always did; not... not when I had to put her down. But I just... I just can't shake away the image of her face, the snarling and the growling, the... the bullet hole in her head. I... I don't want to remember her like that.
Mom tries to hide her pain, but I see it in the way her eyes betray her smile, in the way her hands tremble as she cooks whatever meager meal we've managed to scrounge up. I know she's holding on for us, for me and Alejandra. She's trying to be strong, to keep us safe in this unforgiving world. But I can't shake this feeling of helplessness and maybe a bit of anger, this notion that no matter how hard we try it'll never be enough. That we'll never find that elusive sanctuary she dreams of, where we can finally rest without fear of the dead knocking at our door.
I try to be strong for my sister, to shield her from the harsh realities of our new existence. But it's been almost seven months - or maybe eight - and she's not a child anymore, not really. She sees the pain etched into every line of Mom's face, hears the desperation in her voice when she talks about finding a place to call home. And I know it weighs on her, just as it weighs on me.
But unlike her, I can't give up. She's right about one thing, that there is a home out there for us - a place where all THREE of us can have a life. We deserve more than just survival; we deserve a chance, Alejandra deserves a chance, one filled with joy and laughter instead of fear and sorrow. And when we finally do, when we stand together in a place where we can truly belong, it'll be worth every hardship we endured along the way.

Dynasty: Endless Venture 49!!
The original Dynasty was a staple franchise of the 00's. It was a 3d MMO with Roguelike elements and procedural dungeons and a solid following. It went through several editions and major updates but the servers went offline in 2015. Things have been quiet for a while but rumors of a modern update have been swirling for the last couple of years.
Today you got your Willie Wonka Golden Ticket. You received a login code and link for a beta test for fans of the game. This is the final beta before wide release and is supposed to be free of gaming journos. The betas have been closely guarded and there have suspiciously been no leaks. People speculate that it's a bad game that they don't want it known before people start putting up money for it, but the videos released for the game have been beyond spectacular. While it's possible it's another Cyberpunk 2077, it doesn't matter because you're about to find out and for free. You have an interface to generate a character and a countdown clock for when the servers go live. The question is, what kind of Living Adventure are you going to have before the MMO gets flooded by the unwashed masses?

Call of the Netherdeep
Long ago, a war between gods of good and evil scoured the surface of the world of Exandria. Both the noble Prime Deities and the selfish Betrayer Gods imbued their mortal champions with supernatural gifts that granted them strength enough to challenge their divine foes. The greatest of these champions was Alyxian the Apotheon, who received the blessings of three Prime Deities to save the world from the apocalyptic power of the Betrayer Gods.
Centuries later, all knowledge of this godlike hero has been lost to time, and two groups of adventurers are called upon to retrace this mythic hero's steps and free him from his timeless prison.- D&D 5e

Calling all clerics
The world or Farin is ruled by two deities, Eldwalth and Orgob. The first is good while the second is evil. The church of Eldwalth is also known as the Church of the Flame Eternal as Eldwalth is often represented by flame. That is because Farin was created by the Flame Eternal which only Eldwalth can use. The Church of Orgob is also known as the Church of the Dark Smoke. It is said Orgob corrupted Farin with the Dark Smoke of Orgob .
You are members of the Church of the Flame Eternal , looking for the hidden members of the Church of the Dark Smoke. Most members are bandits, assassins, crooked merchants and tyrants. They can appear as anyone and anything so be careful.

Castlevania: Call of the Eclipse
Long ago, Nostradamus predicted the down fall of Dracula in the year 1999. The time is here and the castle has come. An army of the best the world has to offer has come to do all they can slay the Dark Lord for the last time.
You are one among these. In these despite times, none can discriminate against a potential ally. Lycanthropes and undead rub shoulders with priests and hunters of the dark. Any enemy of Dracula is an ally in this, The Demon Castle War.
Welcome to Call of the Eclipse! Thanks for checking it out.
This will be a Pathfinder 2e game with an Abomination Vaults structure, as you will venture into the legendary Castle Dracula to find the path to it's master and investigate the disappearance of Julius Belmont, who went in to slay the Dark Lord but has been missing for weeks. After such expeditions they will need to return to the military camp surrounding the castle to recover, resupply, and give what information they have found to the leaders.
The base camp surrounding the castle is not without it's in own concerns. Many people of many origins are crossing paths and while many wish to see the end of Dracula not all seem to agree about how this should be done. You may need to make choices that affect not only yourselves but the whole war.

Chains of Asmodeus
Welcome to the Nine Hells
Asmodeus. A conniving master of many schemes, and the Lord of the Nine Hells. You knew that he often plotted to corrupt and win souls through the use of infernal contracts. You never thought that you would be one of his targets.
Now, you live with the loss. A hollowness where your soul should be or the fierce grief-ache of a stolen family member. If Asmodeus could not convince you yourself to sign a contract, he went after those closest to you.
Since then, you have been searching desperately for a way to recover what you lost....

Champions of Eriador
What was once the great realm of Arnor has fallen into ruins. The Witch-king of Angmar and other servants of the Enemy have shattered much that was beautiful and good in western Middle-earth, and the Free Peoples who survived have limped on ever since. The Dúnedain Rangers of the North guard their ancient lands from the Shadow, the Men of Bree hold out in their little pocket of civilization, and the Shire remains an untouched paradise of life, love, and laughter. To the east, Imladris remains hidden and well-defended by their ancient protectors, but even now, the Elves who dwell there begin to turn their gaze to the Grey Havens. To the west, the dwarves of the Ered Luin thrive as skilled craftsmen, traders, and reclaimers of the ancient halls of their forefathers, and the elves of Lindon have all but totally departed for the Undying Lands.
Much attention has been brought to the east, with the death of Smaug the Dragon and the restoration of both Erebor and Dale. And yet, Eriador remains, a quiet land with an ever-growing wickedness returning to its borders. There are no proclamations to be heard by great Kings or Lords. Instead, at the Inn of the Prancing Pony, travelers from across Middle-earth find themselves brought together by fate or chance. Perhaps some are already acquainted, while others are completely foreign. One way or another, this collection of Free Peoples may just find that their paths are more aligned than what they first imagined...

S I T U A T I O N
As space truckers on the starfreighter USCSS Montero, you are used to running "the Gauntlet" - the trade route connecting Anchorpoint Station and the Frontier. Your ship's cargo hold is packed with dozens of tanks containing dangerous Tritium gas which is in the process of decaying into extremely profitable Hellum-3. Usually large tanker modules are used to tow higher concentrations of the gas safe distances, but the Montero isn't rated as a commercial towing vehicle. However, this is a small run - special order for Weyland-Yutani's corporate account on Sutter's World, a newly established Frontier colony. While the trip so far has been a piece of the proverbial cake, the Montero's sensors developed a glitch. Moments before your crew left Anchorpoint, the sensors pinged contact with a sensor reflection as you activated the displacement drive and went FTL. Now you find yourselves awakening from hypersleep, ready to deliver your goods to the colony of Sutter's World.

Knowledge of Alien RPG is not required to play. I will provide resources and answer any questions you may have. You can find further details in [PLACEHOLDER].

This is to be a long-form campaign that takes place over several months (possibly even a year). Your time and commitment is invaluable; however, I do not intend to exhaust you. I expect at least one post per week - more are welcome but not required. There will be no posting order; however, if two weeks pass with no word from you - I will be checking in to make sure everything is okay.
-
Chariot of the Gods will focus on interpersonal relationships within a bleak, tragic, and terrifying setting. While there may be comedic and lively moments, this game is an Alien game at its core. Difficult material will arrive and your characters have a very real chance of dying a brutal death. Though they may die, I expect each of you to take the time to get attached and play your characters as realistically as possible. Hell, maybe some even fall in love. After all, what is a horror game without a little bit of trauma?
-
I will be accepting 5 players. If more are interested, then I am open to running concurrent games. This campaign was published with premade characters. Their character sheets are below. You may play one of these, tweaking personality and backstory to your preference. You may also create your own character. If you do not have access to the CRB, that's fine. I will detail the progress in [PLACEHOLDER].
-
Although this is a horror game and your characters will be placed in life-threatening situations, I expect players to be friendly with each other in OOC regardless of any character conflict. If Bob's character pulls a gun on Jane's character in fear, I don't expect Jane to harass Bob in OOC. In-game party conflict is expected.
- C O M F O R T & S A F E T Y : If a topic is breached in game or OOC that you are uncomfortable with, please let everyone know immediately. You can also tell me directly so I can tell the group while you remain anonymous. The characters can be traumatized, but that doesn't mean you should be.
G A M E M O T H E R
I N F OYes, that's right - Gamemother. It's the wonderful title the Alien RPG gives it's DM. Just don't make it weird and call me mommy, okay?
I am a long-time lover of Alien, horror, and TTRPGs. So when I discovered Free League's Alien, I knew I had to have it immediately. Then the dreaded COVID hit and I ended up moving across the United States leaving me with no one to play this wonderful game with. Hopefully you will allow me to share it with you!
Please be patient with me. While I have DM'd many games around a legitimate table, this is my first venture into the realm of Forum DMing. I will be doing my absolute best to ensure that we both have an amazing game/writing experience.
P R E M A D E
C H A R A C T E R SIf this is your first time in an Alien RPG, I strongly encourage you to take one of the following characters. You may tweak them as you see fit, provided their stats remain the same.
Claim a character by providing their backstory. If more than one person wishes to play the same character, I will make the ultimate decision.
The completed premade character sheets (including abilities and gear) can be found here.

VANESSA MILLER, OFFICER
Captain of the USCSS Montero
AGE: 46
PERSONALITY: Thrifty
You're tired of being a corporate cog and want out. If you could finally get enough money to get your own ship, you could start controlling your own destiny on the Frontier. The company has offered you a lease-to-buy option on the Montero, but that doesn't make any sense unless you can afford to overhaul her for better cargo runs. Without an engine upgrade to allow her to tractor bigger loads, you are losing thousands of dollars every day. You need to find a way to make enough money to lease the Montero and upgrade her, or, better yet, go independent and replace her with a newer ship.L E A H D A V I S , P I L O T
LEAH DAVIS, PILOT
Pilot of the USCSS Montero
AGE: 27
PERSONALITY: Adrenaline Junkie
Safety limits? Those are lies. Any vehicle or piece of equipment can be pushed past the red line and still work fine. You do it as often as you can, just to keep from getting bored. Unfortunately, daily routines are never that exciting, and that's why you've developed a little stimulant problem. Your Weyland-Yutani prescription has just about run out, and you need to get some more fast. You'll do just about whatever it takes to keep yourself from crashing, even if it puts you in danger. Whether it's an adrenaline rush or substance abuse, all that matters to you is that you are flying high.DRUG ADDICT: You must use some form of recreational drug every Shift, or your STRESS LEVEL increases by one. You cannot relieve stress without consuming your drug of choice.

PERSONALITY: Bitter
Your job sucks. Practically everyone on this ship gets paid more than you for doing nothing. You want to do less work and get paid more for it. Your younger brother back on Earth is chronically ill, and your family keeps begging you to send more money to support them. If there's a way to increase your share on this run, you'll do it. Loyalty does pay the bills, so if you have to flip on someone to make more money, so be it. Desperate times call for desperate measuresL Y R O N C H A M , R O U G H N E C K

Cargo Handler on the USCSS Montero
AGE: 32
PERSONALITY: Loyal
You grew up alone. Your parents sold power loaders on the frontier for a living and did not have much time for you. Hopping from colony to colony also meant you never were in any place long enough to make real friends. This crew is the closest thing to a family you've ever had - dysfunction and all. You would do anything to protect them, even put yourself at risk.J O H N J . W I L S O N , C O M P A N Y A G E N T

Corporate Liaison on the USCSS Montero
AGE: 43
PERSONALITY: Ambitious
You've been embedded with the Montero crew for a good six months now, evaluating their performance to see if the ship and crew should be scrapped and fired, or promoted and given a new ship. You've actually come to like this motley assortment, but there is no room for advancement in this work. Now, a special order has come your way, and you finally see your chance to climb. You pull this off and you can parlay it into a fortune.- Miscellaneous

City Conflicts - A Dungeon Punk Grand Strategy Roleplay
The Game Ad (Playtest of homebrew PbP game)
Welcome to City Conflicts, a Dungeon Punk Grand Strategy game, where you plunder the Hidden Realms of the Underdark to expand the Surface Races' access to magical components for enchanting and creating valuable magical items. It is in this dark place that only Azurite, Spirit Flowers, and Spirit Beasts can be found and collected. A place jealously guarded by the Dead and the Damned, who seek to cut off the Celestial’s supply of magical resources in preparation for the inevitable war that ends the world and determines who charts the beginnings of the next. It is an apocalyptic war with no winners, only the one who loses the least.That said, the victors write history, and the winner of each Cycle will determine what history survives to inform the next generation of the past. Future generations will only know what the victor decided they should know, and it is through this process the Dead, the Damned, and the Celestials influence the mortal populations in favor of their gods who seek to take full control of the World one day.
The current state of the game is simple and limited. There are 3 conflict types (Espionage, Combat, Magic) that a character can specialize in and 3 very, very limited economic trees (Azurite, Spirit Flowers, Spirit Beasts) that produce items you can wield mechanically to provide your characters with mechanical advantages.
Azurite compasses allow you to influence your visits to the Underdark.
Potions from spirit nectar and beast cores allow you to gain better rolls, better loot, or simply ignore the mana costs of enhancing your other skills with magical power.
These concepts will be expanded on in the next iteration by adding a single Legendary Item per character as something you can acquire (or start within the 3rd iteration, depending on Cycle modifiers) and adding Cycle Modifiers to be chosen by the winner for the next game. For instance, you can choose for every character in the game to start with a legendary item instead of needing to find them.

City of Mist - Killing Her Softly
The City. A mix of neon lights, crime and corruption. It is all you have ever known. All that you ever thought there was. Day after day living life on autopilot, walking through the rain, passing through the mist-covered streets. Keep an eye when you cross an alley, be wary of those who claim to protect and serve, and do not cross those who really run things. Keep your head down, that's what you were taught growing up here. Keep your head down, perhaps shake it in sadness when you see the news of yet another poor soul lost for one reason or another. It is the way the City is. It always has been and always will be.
But then it happened. A decision you made. A path you could have walked but didn't, a turn you could have taken but avoided, a cry for help that you could have ignored but, for once, answered.
And it awoke something in you. Something that feels as though it has a will of its own, a message that it wants to communicate to you. And power. Incredible, terrifying power that is now yours. Life as you knew it was but a dream, but now you are Awake. The City has a different face, a true face, and you can see it. A different world, hiding in plain sight, filled with beings who can do incredible things, each with their own designs, their own goals for this wretched place you call home.
You are a Rift. And for better or worse, you now have the power to change this city.
Greetings everyone, I am looking for 2-3 players to play through the scenario Killing her Softly from Nights of Payne Town: A spooky mystery taking place in the world of jazz clubs in the City. I am Samanos and I will be your GM for this scenario. I used to play in the old site back in the day, however this will be my first real venture into the City of Mist. I don't mind if you are a new player or a veteran who has played this scenario before (though if you are, please take care not to spoil anything for the other players).
If this sounds like something you'd be interested, please take a look at Character Creation and make a thread for your application.

City of Mist - Name to be decided later
In the heart of this sprawling metropolis lies a hidden underbelly, a place where the lines between truth and legend blur like shadows in the neon-lit streets. You see, in this city, everyone's got a story, but not all of 'em are fairy tales.
I've been around long enough to know that beneath the surface of this concrete jungle, there's a whole world of secrets and lies just waiting to be uncovered. And me? I'm just an old gumshoe with a knack for seeing things others can't. Call it a gift, call it a curse – I call it a damn good reason to keep digging.
You see, in this game, we're not just playing for keeps – we're playing for our very souls. We're different, different than the Average Joe that works the nine to five just to keep food on the table. And while we're all different varieties of freak show we are all more or less the same, folks with one foot in reality and the other in the realm of myth and legend. And let me tell ya, it ain't easy straddling that line.
But hey, who said life was supposed to be easy, right? In this City, you gotta be ready to roll with the punches, follow the clues wherever they lead, and watch your back every step of the way. 'Cause trust me, there are forces at play here that make the Mob look like choirboys.
So grab your trench coat, light up a smoke, and get ready to dive headfirst into the shadows. 'Cause in this City of Mist, the truth ain't always pretty – but it's the only thing worth fighting for. And me? I'll be damned if I'm gonna let the darkness win. Not on my watch.
