Game Time: Fridays, 7:30 PM EST (Time is subject to debate).
Genre: Modern Apocalypse • Survival • Supernatural Mystery • Political Drama.
Tone: Dark, character-driven, high-stakes.
Inspiration: Gone (Michael Grant), Stranger Things, The Mist, Lord of the Flies.
The world didn't end. It just... forgot you. One moment, life was normal. The next, every adult vanished. Phones still buzz. Cars still idle. Fires still burn in empty kitchens. And your town is sealed inside an invisible wall no one can cross. No rescue. No rules. No one coming to save you.
Join process has reopened due to a player dropping out because of scheduling issues.
The Setting
You play as teenagers and young adults trapped inside a modern town cut off from the rest of the world by an unexplained phenomenon known only as the Rift. Food is running out. Power grids are failing. Gangs and leaders are already rising. Strange abilities are beginning to manifest in some people — and no one knows why. This is not a dungeon crawl.
Your enemies aren't just monsters. They're hunger. Fear. And other survivors.
Characters
You are not heroes. You are students. Dropouts. Athletes. Burnouts. Overachievers. Kids who were never supposed to lead anyone. Some characters may develop strange abilities. Some won’t. Both matter.
Content Warnings
This campaign may include:
Psychological horror
Moral dilemmas
Violence
Loss of loved ones
Themes of isolation, power, and survival
Nothing graphic without consent, but the story will be emotionally heavy.
What I'm Looking For
Players who enjoy:
Serious roleplay
Long-term character arcs
Collaborative storytelling
Ethical gray areas
Modern settings with supernatural twists
New players welcome. Commitment to the story requested.
If you’re interested in a game where your choices shape not just your character — but the future of an entire trapped world — welcome to life Beyond the Wall.
Hiya this sounds Brilliant really interesting and different idea. I have a decent amount of experience with 5e and would love to chat more about the idea my discord is buckster5696 if you’re able to chat there as probably easier than on here.
This sounds pretty interesting! My discord is gltrafterdark. I will admit my rp skills are pretty rusty, but I have a decent amount of experience, I'm down with playing any class and/or race.
This sounds absolutely fascinating, dark and dramatic! Would love to talk a little more and see what you're looking for out of an additional player/character to bring in? Maygin80 on discord.

Power grids are failing. Gangs and leaders are already rising. Strange abilities are beginning to manifest in some people — and no one knows why. This is not a dungeon crawl.
This is a story about:
Building a society from nothing.
Deciding who deserves power.
Choosing who gets protected.
And what you’re willing to become to survive.
The Game
This campaign focuses on:
Heavy roleplay and character development
Meaningful choices with lasting consequences
Faction politics and moral dilemmas
Survival mechanics (resources, shelter, alliances)
Supernatural elements that grow over time
Mystery surrounding the origin of the Rift
Combat exists, but every fight matters.
Your enemies aren't just monsters. They're hunger. Fear. And other survivors.
Characters
You are not heroes. You are students. Dropouts. Athletes. Burnouts. Overachievers. Kids who were never supposed to lead anyone. Some characters may develop strange abilities. Some won’t. Both matter.

Will discord be used? I have no access to that.
Discord will be used.
Reopening this briefly in the hopes that we can get one person interested to join in on Session 2.

Temporarily reopening this again because I had another player dropped due to life expectations. Feel free to comment if you're interested.
