Whispers of the Old Gods
IGNORE THE TAG, THIS IS NOT YET SET IN STONE OF BEING RUN ON DISCORD
Hello all! I'm Ghost (29F, she/they), because I mostly lurk in the deep dark depths of social media and never surface!
Until now with Reddit. Pretty new to this place and play-by-post in general, I'll keep it simple. Anyone interested in playing with me as the GM either in Discord or Stoat about this:
The Whispers refers to a global anomalous event marked by a synchronized cognitive disturbance and the sudden formation of unstable cosmic rifts across Earth. These rifts are intermittently visible and spatially inconsistent, intersecting normal reality and allowing non-terrestrial entities and altered physical states to emerge. Rift zones persist as shifting regions where standard physical laws degrade, producing persistent environmental and structural anomalies.
Exposure to what is commonly termed Elder radiation produces a wide spectrum of effects in humans and ecosystems. In individuals, this results in highly variable anomalous abilities, including but not limited to pyrokinesis, electrokinesis, biological restructuring, gravitational distortion, temporal displacement, and extreme cases of localized reality alteration. These manifestations are typically involuntary and unstable, with outcomes ranging from controlled utility to catastrophic loss of containment.
Every day a super tech company called DUSK broadcasts, inviting those who exhibit these powers to join their ranks, to help them with their powers and to help with stalking the wilds or urban environments in search of rogue anomalies that seek to destroy humanity.
PM me if you're interested with your nickname, pronouns, timezone, hobbies, preferred platform (discord, matrix, stoat, nemitrix, etc), system suggestions, and basic concept based on premise alone. I've yet to decide on what system but considering SWADE or hacked Mutant Year Zero. Maybe PbtA but I've played way too much of that in voice games so I'm trying to expand.
This is simultaneously an interest check and a recruitment, because once I've decided who the players will be and what system I will use (based on said chosen players) I will send out invites to you.
