Legends and Leviathans

Hello perspective player! I've set up a Living World discord server with a unique world. Its very Rules-lite, RP being custom (heavily taking from Salvage Union) and Steel Rift for most combat. It is Play-By-Post, with me handling the map and rulings so that it can be time-zone and time-available agnostic! (Also feel free to send pics of physical minis if you want to use/display them! The system is mini-agnostic for anyone interested in playing Steel Rift locally.) There are several changes now that I have made so that its easier to manage as a PbP game (inches to Hex Tiles), as well as things that give more options to players. You wont need to buy a copy of the rules, as I have them available on the server. Advanced Rules will be added over time, both to not overwhelm players but also so I can cherry pick what works with the League and missions that I will present players with (and to a lesser extent the flimsy lore I have for this game-world). Players will be a General Purpose Administrator/Logistics A.I. (aka ʒenais), usually manufactured and purchased by Militaries and MegaCorps for admin work on large vessels and in company-cities. In this case though, the players have been purchased by an Underboss of a Redlight planet. They'll be placed in control of the crime faction's Blood Sport Assets in the burgeoning, new Mecha Coliseums popping up all around the seedy ecumenopolis. You'll put together HE-Vs and teams and enter them into Bouts, Tournaments, Leagues, etc. Obtain purses and prizes from wins, bet on other player's matches for side profit, and go Rogue to get out from under the crime boss's thumb! Eventually players will be able to accept contracts off world for MegaCorps and Sovereignties (ala BattleTech style) and will be able to flex more of the mission types and advanced rules over time. I'm running it via a purpose made Discord server and using Tabletop Sim purely so the maps and models will be a bit more exciting than a 2d, top-town grid. There is currently only 1 mechanical roll tied to Roleplay itself (subject to change depending on what players decide to get up to). You can always hit me with ideas and things you'd like to see that we can work together to make happen! If anyone is interested feel free to DM me and ask any questions you might have! A final note: The game is tagged as 18+, please respect that. And if any player has a concern about anything (including regarding me) please feel empowered to bring it to my attention so it can be resolved!

Whether you are a recruit, an adventurer seeking glory, a criminal serving your sentence, or a local hero, you have found yourself at Scalewatch a fortress-city standing against the horrors that crawl from Gnarltongue Hollow. With too few soldiers to defend the border, you and a mismatched band of survivors have been given a forgotten outpost of your own. Build it. Defend it. Make it a home. Hunt the Primals that escape the Hollow, protect the people of Eldorune, and venture into the jungle to document what lies beyond the border. But the Hollow does not give up its secrets easily. Most who enter never return. Scalewatch is the last great bastion between civilization and Gnarltongue Hollow, a vast and hostile jungle where strange creatures known as Primals emerge from the depths. With soldiers stretched thin and the border growing more dangerous by the day, you have been given an abandoned outpost and a simple order: hold the line. Build your bastion into something worth defending, protect the people of Eldorune, and hunt whatever makes it past the walls. But survival requires more than a strong sword arm. Study the Primals you encounter. Examine their bodies, behaviors, and strange adaptations. Document what you learn so others might survive the creatures you face tomorrow. Venture beyond the border into the Hollow itself, where every expedition brings new discoveries and new dangers. The deeper you go, the more questions you will find, and some answers may be better left buried. Set in the high-fantasy world of Ithyra, The Hollow Hungers takes a more grounded and gritty approach to fantasy, focusing on survival, monster hunting, exploration, and the harsh realities of the frontier. Resources matter. Wounds matter. Your bastion matters. Every expedition carries risks, and every decision can determine who makes it home. This campaign is for players who enjoy narrative-driven adventures, meaningful choices, monster hunting, exploration, and building something together. My style is heavily narrative and choice-focused. There is rarely one correct answer, and the world will respond to what you do. You will decide what threats to pursue, what discoveries to record, how your bastion develops, who you trust, and how far you are willing to venture into the Hollow. Build your home. Hold the border. Hunt the monsters. Uncover what lies within. Most who enter never return.

We don't have a GM or a campaign idea we're looking for, we had a campaign with some great characters but the GM didn't work out and we're looking for someone to fill the slot for Tuesday for us, so far we have a barbarain sorcerer tiefling, a Druid Artafister forest gnome, and two other players who's characters are TBD, and a come as the want player who plays a companion. We are open to others joining as well. We don't really have an idea for a campaign but we would really love it if are backstories matter to the story. Time wise we can play at the earliest maybe 7pm cst but more comfortable 8-9pm cst. Feel free to reach out to my discord I have a server made for us to voice chat in, and be use D&D beyond for sheets and VTT.
