LordOfTheNight Death Walks Among You

"As the Night Mother raised her pale hand,

Shadow rose to consume the land.

Come at last, the Age of Night.

Rise now creatures of darkness, devour the light...."

- Tome of the Nightfall -

Chapter 2, Verses 23-27




The night has consumed the land of Unarath....

For centuries, the realm has been without the guarding light of the sun and the hearts of it's people have known little hope. Many of the old gods now lie dead or dying, those that remain either offer no hope to their disciples or only answer to those who pledge themselves to the dark....

What magic still remains is often corrupted by the Dark Ones with each use....

The vampire counts of Unarath rule the Night Lands while waging bloody civil war with each other and the wild beasts of the dark....

To survive in such times requires a will from the gods, a sharp sword, and a light to drive away the night.




Welcome to the dark (literally and metaphorically) fantasy world of Nightfall! The heroes of this world have failed to save it and now the world has fallen into darkness, the sun literally ripped out of the sky and plunging the realm into shadow. The lands of Unarath are ruled by several vampire lords locked in a war for dominance of the realm. To add gas to the fire, dark creatures that had once been restrained and weakened by sunlight.

One of the biggest problems (aside from the vampires) is the Green Tide; the goblin armies rushing out of the mountains and creating problems for all inhabitants of Unarath. The only place that offers any safety from the horrors of the continent are the free isles of Umalla, small islands that operate independently from the continent. This is/was your home and where our story would begin.

You will be playing as inhabitants of Umalla who wash up on the shores of Unarath. You had all been aboard a trading vessel by the name of "The Grey Maiden" when it had been set upon by pirates. You all managed to survive, now you are trapped here. Who you all are and why you all were aboard the vessel is up to you.

I will be taking the roll of DM, offering paths and adventures for your characters to embark on and a slew of characters for your characters to meet. Will you befriend them? Keep your distance? Make an enemy? Will you simply try to survive the horrors of Unarath, or will you rise above it to become a legend of the land? The choice is ultimately yours...

This has caught my eye--my good eye, not the lazy one.

I would need more info before I can say I'd definitely ask to join, though. But the interest is there! :)

I figured you'd put up all the details after more people showed interest; didn't want to make ya write everything twice!

But, some questions would be:

You have tabletop in the tags, so will we be picking classes/races etc and be doing like a dnd set-up?

Will the free Isles of Umalla be set up, or are we going to make up our own background stuff?

More or less. I'm more apt to go for a Dungeon World set up if we go heavy into the tabletop aspects but I'm also a HUGE fan of the Powered by the Apocalypse system and will always sing it's praises

I have a proper map set up for this but as far as if all the islands are fleshed out, no. I got a few ideas in mind for some of the islands but ultimately I'm leaving some of these areas unexplored within my mind so others can add personal touches to their character background

I'm interested, however I feel obliged to give out an advance warning about me not being familiar with tabletop. If that's too much of an issue I'd completely understand!

Not a problem! IF we do go the tabletop route, the system I generally go with is very easy to use and learn. Conversation and narrative heavy rather than focusing on rolls and the likes

Interested. I've got a little experience with PbtA but nothing in Dungeon World. I'd be interested in learning if we can get a group together.

interested. Happy to play a secondary antagonist (lesser vampire lord or other nasty) if that would be useful, or a party member if not!

This sounds super fun! Are you still recruiting? I have character ideas already oozing out the wazoo. I was thinking a magic-user who accidentally befell themself and their loved one with a horrible curse and is looking for ways to cure it.
