I’m recruiting for an async play-by-post Cairn 2e campaign on Discord.

You play people fleeing a demonic army. Some of you want to save as many refugees as possible. Some of you want to survive at any cost. Most of you have someone slower, weaker, poorer, or harder to move relying on you.

This is a limited-scope dark fantasy survival campaign about flight, hard choices, and what people owe each other when safety runs out.

How this plays

• Async PBP on Discord
• Cairn 2nd Edition rules
• Survival, exploration, negotiation, danger, and consequence via roleplaying
• Low crunch, fights are risky
• Solving problems whilst watching your resources and reputation

If you're looking for 5E style heroic fantasy with plot armour, please look elsewhere.

This campaign will be limited in scope so might actually hold your interest through the story without petering out.

The sign up form below asks a little commitment up front by making a character but Cairn is mechanically very light and hopefully won't be too burdensome.

18+ only.

We're back to our Children of Fear campaign, so time for a recap of the last session as the investigators leave China for Tibet and the mountains of Kham.
