Tolkeen is burning....

Founded as a place where all were welcome, magic and technology were both embraced, and none were persecuted for their nature, the city of Tolkeen was in the way of the expansive desires of the Coalition States. Tensions escalated, and in Year PA108, war was declared upon Tolkeen by the self-proclaimed heroes of humanity. And upon you.

Perhaps you were a sorcerer, psychic, non-human or supernatural being who was fighting to protect a place that welcomed people like you. Perhaps you had a personal vendetta against the Coalition, and wanted to hurt them as they had hurt you. Perhaps you were born and raised in Tolkeen, and wanted to protect your home. Perhaps you were a defector from the Coalition who saw the ugly truths of fascism and genocide under the glorious rhetoric. Perhaps you were a simple mercenary who fought for pay rather than ideals. Whatever the case, you fought against the Coalition, playing your part in a long and bitter war.

And now you’ve lost.

After a devastating surprise attack, the defences are broken. Tolkeen is ablaze around you, demons run uncontrolled in the streets, reality twists as the magical grid goes haywire, and soldiers and civilians alike are being slaughtered by the Coalition soldiers. It’s clear to all but the most fanatical defenders that the war is lost. Victory is no longer possible, and the best you can hope for is to escape. Maybe you can find somewhere safe far from the vengeful forces of the Coalition, maybe you can rebuild, maybe you can keep the dream alive. But to do any of that….you’ll need to get to the end of this day in one piece, which won’t be easy when a relentless army is storming your home and killing anyone they can find.

But you’re not just anyone....


It's time for me to return to the world gone mad of Rifts Earth, and I'm looking for 3-4 brave souls to join me (the game already has one player lined up). The campaign will see the characters struggling to escape a war zone and then get involved as the fledgeling Tomorrow Legion strives to raise a banner of hope amongst the ruins.

Above all, and this is the really important part, I'm looking for reliable posters--I'm quite a hardliner on this, because I've seen far too many games where players vanish or grind to a halt. Nobody likes That Guy who vanishes without saying anything, or who grinds to a halt, and I know you don't want to be That Guy. So save us both some time and don't apply unless you're certain you can keep up a posting minimum of once per 1-2 days, okay? Good.

If you're interested, drop an RTJ with a thumbnail sketch of your character concept (stats can be done after being accepted), and a writing sample. Regardless of the power level of characters, I'll work to customise the campaign to them and give everyone chances to shine.

So what are you waiting for? World ain't gonna save itself!

Hi again. One of the players seems to have dropped, so I'm looking for a new one. I'm looking either for someone who could take over an existing character (a human Cyber-Knight who's a protective heroic and slightly rash type; not much of his background has come up in play, so it could be tinkered with), or a new character who doesn't overlap too much with what the group already has. If you're interested in doing one or the other, drop me a PM with a short writing sample and specifying which character you'd like to play.

If you'd like to play a new character, I'll send you the info on where the group is right now, and possible ways to work them into the story. Someone with wilderness / tracking / infiltration skills would have an immediately useful niche. And with one secondary and two primary spellcasters in the group, we're fully covered in that area.

In either case, I'm looking for a reliable player with an expected posting minimum of 2-3 per week. If you're not certain you can commit or let me know about any absences you need to take, then you probably shouldn't apply.


The story so far....

After a harrowing escape, the party has escaped the fall of Tolkeen by means of a Rift that threw them into the middle of the Ozarks and several months into the future. En route, they prevented an attempt to summon an entity that would have killed everything within hundreds of miles of the city, a ploy by Alistair Dunscon to cripple the CS after they eliminated a rival for him. Along with a hundred-odd refugees, they've currently sheltered in a small fortified town in the company of a wandering Cyber-Knight (who happens to be Lord Coake himself), who has spoken of a group called the "Legion", which is attempting to form a defence coalition with local communities. Things are tense right now, with raids on the outlying communities leaving the people desperate for a solution. A report of an attack by the Cavalry on a nearby village has given them a chance to prove themselves, but all may not be as it seems.
