Someplace, somewhen, very different from the Earth we know, lies the great city of Bastion, capitol of Humanity, where the teeming masses labor under electric lights obscured by coal smog. The masses find solace in the expected vices, unified political rebellion, or one of the many Star Cults.

Around Bastion is surrounded by an alien-touched world too large to map and too old to chronicle. Beneath it is a vast labyrinth where Mutants subsist and deeper secrets dwell with each level more horrifying than the next. What antique treasures and unexplained artifacts (Arcana) lie waiting to be found?

And yes, the creatures of fairy tales and myth still exist, but they are hopelessly lost remnants of an obliterated land.

In the midst of all this chaos, you have to earn a living somehow. Here’s a lantern and a bedroll. Down you go!

[Looking to recruit players for a game of Into the Odd, designed for sci-fi survival horror with minimalist mechanics and strange but deadly outcomes.]

Bastion Below and Beyond are waiting for you to explore! You too can ready your musket, knife, and lantern and join our first foray in the New Year!

Hello, I found your post via reddit. Glad to be here and I'm very interested in joining in with your campaign. I'm a huge fan of Into the Odd and Electric Bastionland and I am looking for more opportunities to play in this space.

Will you be using Into the Odd's array of stats (STR,DEX,WIL) or the one found in Electric Bastionland (STR, DEX, CHA)?

In reply to Gwyllgi (msg # 3):

We’ll be using WIL. In my game, Electric Bastionland is the nickname of the city’s central core. If Bastion proper is Victorian London or Baltimore, the Core is a mix of Washington DC, San Francisco’s technology sector and Airstrip One from 1984. It’s possible to cross zones, but nothing in ItO is without risk!
