JOIN OUR DISCORD HERE: Infinite Darkness - Living Universe & World Building Project

Infinite Darkness is a world set in the far future, where mankind has spread to the stars via a combination of its own ingenuity and piggybacking upon alien technology -- both that which has been traded for and that which has been discovered and is still being understood. With a game world containing a myriad of systems with an endless variety of planets, there's no one single thing that sessions and campaigns tend to involve, but in general you can expect to be exploring things from ancient ruins to planet-wide sprawls, struggling against the ever-present stifling grip of corporations that span across multiple systems or working in the shadows for them, working with sentient alien life or fleeing from hybridized experiments made with it, and even conducting trade missions or being involved with the Galactic Defense Force.

You will need a team with a diverse skill set in order to survive -- being able to fire a gun is well and good, but you need more than just broad shoulders and a big gun. Your team needs technicians to investigate ancient, forgotten technology; it needs engineers to rig lifts or reprogram robots in subterranean complexes you're breaking into; it needs pilots to hijack that ship off the moon you're being pursued across; it needs infiltration agents to contort through ducts and slip locks; it needs slick, suited fast-talkers to broker deals with the powerful and insinuate their way into secure locations; it needs medics to patch up claw-rent limbs and laser burns; it needs biologists to diagnose the strange illness your away team comes back with upon exploring a new planet... and much, much more. Combat will be a part of what you do, but it will be far from all you do, and remember that just because you can fight something, doesn't mean there's even a chance that you might win -- discretion is the better part of valor, because if there's one universal truth about the future, it's this: life is cheap.

Game: D&D 5e | Heavily modified using a '5th Age' supplement and Stars Without Number.
Group type: Online text/voice based sessions. Open RP over discord with missions and stories active 24/7.
Experience: This game can be fairly difficult, so experienced players might have more fun, but new players who are looking for a challenge or want to experience something more "old school' will probably enjoy themselves! Plus, you know, Starships and Aliens!
Location/Timezone: CST Primary, but given the nature of text based gaming and play-by-post on discord it's a 24/7 game.
Schedule: Extremely flexible.
Roles sought: Dungeon Masters who are interested in contributing to a dark, science fiction setting. Story-Tellers who enjoy creating small, bite sized chunks of story for players on the fly. Players who want to explore and help contribute to a world building community and play in the planets and stories that they help create.
Game style: It's as varied as the people playing. This is an 18+ server, so please keep that in mind when joining. Mature themes like cults, sexual situations, blood and gore, Lovecraftian horrors, and psychosis are explored. Sometimes with tact and other times not so much.

Still seeking additional story-tellers and players.

I’m interested in this as a player! Feyrë#3568
