GAME INFORMATION ------------------------------------------ 2073 - The Eshaton. A swarm of asteroids from the far ends of the universe travels toward earth, ushering the end of humanity. 2595 - 500 years have passed. Earth is engulfed by a new ice age. Glaciers are carving their way through the old world. America, Asia, Australia have fallen. Only Europe and Africa are left as habitable zones. While Europe is caked in ice and snow, Africa has blossomed into a subtropical paradise. The Axis of the world is once again the Mediterranean Sea. And Mankind hasn‘t given up just yet. From the ashes of a destroyed civilization, a new one has risen. Cults, clans and tribes are fighting for dominance in a world that is being reborn. Apocalyptic sects raise fortresses in the landscape. Clans form new cities. Border towns rise from the settling asteroid dust. A whole people are on the move to harvest the artifacts of the lost generations. To rebuild earth in a new and glorious fashion. But in the shadows of the craters something is moving. A strange virus that was traveling underneath the icy shell of the asteroids has started infecting humanity‘s DNA. The virus, called the Primer, is starting to mutate people who get in touch with it, transforming them, turning them into a new apex predator, a new race of human beings. It‘s the birth of Homo Degenesis. And this newcomer has the power to wrestle Homo Sapiens from the top of the food chain. Equipped with psychic powers beyond measure, Homo Degenesis has declared war on the upstart mankind, and man will fight back with full force. The battle for earth‘s legacy has begun. ------------------------------------------ OOC INFORMATION ------------------------------------------ 18+, new and experienced players welcome! I am an equal opportunity GM, and I expect all my players to respect the others, regardless of... well, anything. Be nice or be kicked out. The Red Hand Club is a gaming group, but more than that we're a collection of friends. We have similar interests, including RPGs, video games, anime, movies, sci-fi, comic books, etc., and we enjoy sharing those with our friends in the group! As gamers, we have some requirements. Firstly, we're all heavy roleplayers. Combat and exploration are important to us, but we get the most out of the game when our characters are motivated and have a personal investment in the adventure. Second, we want you to be active in the RHC with us. We definitely don't expect you to devote your life to us, but if you only ever pop in Discord on game night, play the game, and then immediately leave, then I doubt we're gonna get along. Finally, we prefer to do all of our in-character actions, reactions, and speech in text. Mechanical questions, and general shit-shooting are still done in voice, but text RP affords us the ability to focus, think, and consider our characters' responses without the pressure to quickly respond that comes with a voice environment. If you're not able to game mostly via text, then we're probably not going to get along. Our first session on the 19th will be Session 0. In this session, we'll discuss character concepts, the sort of game we want to run, and then building our characters. We will then meet again on August 9 at the same time to begin our weekly game! Please have access to the Degenesis: Rebirth rulebooks. Please also do not build characters or become married to a concept before the 19th! If this sounds interesting to you, please leave me a reply or a message and we'll talk!
