Primer: Infinity's Edge - Realm of Bone and Dust


Realm of Bone and Dust

    You emerge from the soil, bursting onto the plateau with others, cold and confused.  Your memory is hazy at best, and others around you seem equally perplexed about the moment.  Echoes of the past shake your thoughts, images of a shattering world and your own cries for survival.  Then darkness, ever stretching and a whisper, “since you wish to live beyond the shattering of all, I shall grant your wish and leave you’re the responsibility to remake it.”
  As you all begin to gather your wits, the clinking of metal comes from the path off the plateau.  A cleaver on a chain is hurled forward splitting the heads of one of the survivors beside you.  A deep gleeful chuckle comes from the armoured man as the cleaver is yanked back.

System: Infinity’s edge, a new game released by Kyoudai games.  Designed to simulate LitRPG genre of novels.  The game encourages development through actions, in short what skills your character uses, and train develop.  There will be some call backs to the genre.

Arc:  The first arc of the game will revolve around surviving and exploring the dark realm of bone and dust.  Creating a place to survive the horror of this nightmarish place and fight corruption both within and without.  I predict this arc will last 3 - 6 full sessions.
Player Cap: 6

Rifts: Primer Profits of Time

Profits of Time


    Credits make things happen.  As newly minted mercenaries, you understand this, be cause you are the people that make it happen.  But you know what also helps a fledging merc company? A big-time contract from the Coalition for both a lot of credits AND some badass equipment.  The contract is simple but critical that the Coalition needs done.  So lets get to some of the details of our first of hopefully many contracts.
  The contract was sent by a contact in Iron Heart to us in the North.  You all are to report to a Coalition Ambassador, Tomas Slu.  He will need your support getting to a small nearby settlement called Lizgear, to secure an agreement from the town that is discussing joining the Coalition.  You will have the following objectives for this contract;
  •  Ensure the signing of the agreement is the top priority.
  •  Make sure that Lizgear remains in condition to be an asset for the Coalition.
  •  Protect the life of Tomas Slu.
  •  The final is an optional objective, but if possible, discover the origin of a unique alloy that is exported by Lizgear to Iron Heart and Laizo.
  We do at least moderately well at this job, and we will get this company off the ground.

System: Rifts, with a preference of knowledgeable player.  Will be available from 4-6 on Saturday Nov 2nd to help those that need help with a character.  Your welcome to make your character before the first session, those that show up without one will be able to select from pregens.  Please take note, you are limited by two things.  First, is the narrative above.  Make a character that fits the fluff provided.  Second, the books I have read. At this moment that is the Core, Canada, and Mercenaries.

Arc:  The first arc of the game will revolve around the area of Lizgear and the companies first contract.  I predict this arc will last 3 - 5 full sessions.  Afterwards, those that survive will be able to make a mercenary company that will appear in future arcs.
