Maybe they'll build something new; maybe we'll discover why the war is fought. We'll play to find out.

Game: Storm's Wake, 1962
System: Hunter: The Vigil (w/ CoD / Mortal Remains rules update)
Players: 3
Format: Discord, Thursdays from ~6 PM to ~9 PM EST

In March 1962, a great storm batters the east coast, leaving the old and quiet village of Port Of Queen Anne, Maryland stranded temporarily from the outside world and disrupting the fishing trade that supports its life. The next night, a young couple from respectable families are found dead in a field, under grisly circumstances.

You are of one of the village's hunter families, trained from adolescence to defend it from the strange and horrific things that have always predated upon man. The signal fires have been lit, and you have been called.
We are down by oneTWO so if anyone wants to jump in, now's your chance! We've had one session, the summary of which is posted on the top of page 2. Come stand against a vengeful ghost on a rural island of strange and occult customs! Choose one of three hunting families to originate from, each with their own innate strengths and ties to the land and one another. Post in the thread if interested! We'll have a short session this Thursday.

The Baronet of the Gate of Thorns commanded that a company of guards make haste to Chael Hollow; a routine mission, had it occurred three days hence, at the beginning of the Passage. No-one in recent memory has ventured into the Deep Wood before the Passage, and the Baronet has paid handsome bonus to the Captain of the Guard who volunteered. Sensing a lucrative opportunity, a throng of merchants, peddlers, and hangers-on flocked to accompany the mission. It is less than 12 hours into the four-day journey, and already two have gone missing; lost or worse.

Game: The Fragile Gods of Somewhere
System: Wingin' it! My last game, Sundown Run, tried to go more rules heavy and I didn't dig it
Format: CYOA / Godgame Hybrid
Players: 5 Gods BUT other readers can pool together to influence their rolls for good or ill, so we need all sorts of people!
Description:
The world is a mutable, malleable thing. In the immeasurable vastness of the Ocean, tiny pinpricks of Something burst into being, only to vanish. Without a stabilizing presence, they are hopeless against the crashing waves of Nothing. Without Gods, Something has no hope.

Gods float above the Ocean, droplets of dew against its immensity. Without worship, they perish, snuffed out. Small crumbs of Something draw countless Gods, feeding on eachother and on the life they nourish with their presence. All are doomed to return to the Ocean, but for a time they grow strong and fat, and it is enough. Without Something, the Gods have no hope.

Something new has risen from the foam. Something big. Somewhere. Unmolded, untouched by divine powers, it floats on the Ocean, drawing forth ever more matter with its gravity. Bounty beyond reckoning for any God strong enough to take it. Nothing like this has ever been encountered before - enough Something for dozens of Gods, or hundreds. But not all at once, oh no - it would have to be carefully rationed...


This is my 3rd CYOA that I'm running - it will be fairly fully illustrated and very casual. You should be able to drop in at almost any time and not have missed out on anything - or just lurk in the thread and look at pictures!

The Gods rise, and then they die. Seven Ages have passed in which the Gods have shaped the world and then perished. Seven Ages have passed in which the world has gone on without them, waiting for them to return. A world which began like this:

Has through many trials and much effort come to look like this:


The Eighth Age is upon Somewhere. The prophesied End of the world. Will you be the God that steers them away from the End? Or towards it?
