The Chronicles of Afterlight - Post Apocalyptic Far Future Medieval fantasy Setting

Image
 Today, I introduce my long-time phantasmal reverie of The Chronicles of Afterlight. Imagine a world that is our Earth but an alternate one far across the cosmic void between universes. In this alternate Earth in the late 21st century, more precisely, August 23rd, 2093 C.E., a tear in the fabric of reality occurred. Experiments in Hyperspace pylons lead to rifts into the void between worlds. These experiments didn't immediately destroy civilization; however, the daemonic entities' insidious corruption of people in power from the void began. Over the next 60 years, life became all the worse for everyone and everything on Earth. The tremendous social progress society had made in the 20th and 21st centuries slowly but indeed got stripped away. The power to change society was left in the irreparably damaged hands of contemptible, chaos-corrupted politicians and demagogues.

RPGaDay 2023 - Day 30 - Obscure RPG you've played

 The most obscure RPG I've ever played is probably Empire of the Petal Throne. I don't think any of the newer generations have heard about Tekumel unless it has to do with the sad news that came out about the late Professor Barker. Most of the older generations have heard about it but never played it.

 One of the most complex RPGs I own is Aftermath by Fantasy Games Unlimited. The simplest game, I own is Epees and Sorcellerie a French RPG based on OD&D but using exclusively d6s for all rolls.

 That would have to be my boxed set of the original Dark Sun campaign setting for AD&D 2e.

RPGaDay 2023 - Day 20 - Will still play in 20 years time

Image
 I'm pretty sure that the RPG I will still play in 20 years would have to be Lords of Olympus. With second place going toward the Empire of the Petal Throne. I have been playing Amber Diceless for the past 3 weeks and while I definitely am enjoying Amber Diceless I think I honestly prefer Lords of Olympus. So in 20 years, I will be 47 and I can see myself playing Lords of Olympus. I am a huge fan of mythology and folklore so I can easily see that. Cheers to the Immortal Multiversal Soap Opera RPG and the many games I have and will continue to play.

  B2 Baby! The Keep on the Borderlands. I have run it 2 times and both times were a lot of fun. First I used D&D 5e and then I used Basic Fantasy RPG. If you are new to TTRPGs I highly recommend taking a look at this adventure.
