Duskreach is an apocalyptic low magic emerging technology fantasy world. A cataclysmic event is occurring in which darkness is falling across the lands blocking out the sun's light. This ongoing event is called "The Shadowdark".

Humans have fled their homelands they now refer to as the "old world" this new unexplored continent they call "Duskland" due to these lands being the last in the fading light. The humans landed on the west coast of Duskreach and established a major city called Last Light surrounding settlements emerging. Humans are continuing to expand east chasing the dying light. This expansion has created conflict with the elves, dwarves, halflings and others that are native here.

Ah perfect timing! I just had a game end and was wondering what I might replace it with. I’m interested! I’ve played Shadowdark, I have the full pdf, and I love the game.

Hi there. I am interested. This would be my first PbP game, but I do have a good amount of experience with TTRPGS in general. I would love to learn how to get started!

I'd like to get in on this! I have been playing Shadowdark for a couple of games and as an rpg's from the 80's am liking this system more and more... much more so than the D&D/3.5/5e I've been playing mostly over the last 20ish years.
