Antarctica. The coldest continent on earth. The final place ever discovered by humans. At first glance, no-one seems to live in this snow-covered, blizzard-filled continent, and yet, we can find humans even here. And despite this, a major change is occurring throughout the world, and even here. Much of the mighty glaciers that cover this area are melting.

Near the ocean, a piece of a glacier breaks off, revealing a frozen creature within the ice. It is unlike any creature found on Earth; a being composed of a series of geometric shapes, many of which are disconnected from each other. The ice chunk containing the entity then breaks off and falls into the ocean.


In the middle of the cold wasteland, a research station stands. Inside is a series of well-furnished rooms, including living quarters, a library, a cafeteria, and a break room with video games. A Scandinavian woman, with blond hair, blue eyes, and glasses can be heard chatting from the bedroom. She is Solveig, a scientist and a member of an unknown organization that monitors and contains anomalies and oddities.


“Yes, i have condolences about what happened to Prof. Ai and her little one.” she said while video chatting to someone. “I hope the anomaly will be contained soon. Anyway, we have recently detected readings of an unknown entity in this area. The glaciers of the Antarctic are slowly melting, and it might reveal things unknown to us.”


Outside, a young boy with blond hair is playing in the snow. He is Erik, Solveig's only son. He watches a group of penguins waddling around in the snow. Something catches his eye, however, and it's a frozen entity, the same entity that broke off the glacier, floating in the frigid ocean. Erik's first instinct is to run inside and tell his mother.


“Mom! There's a frozen creature in the ocean!” he told his mother. They both rush to investigate.


After hauling the ice block containing the creature out of the ocean, Solveig comments on it.


“This creature must be frozen for hundreds of years. I've never seen anything like it.”


“Poor thing.” said Erik.


“We don't know whether or not this creature is dangerous. I think we best put it in a safe place.” said Solveig.

The two then haul the frozen creature back to the station, placing it in the cold storage. But little do they know this creature may be a threat to them and their friends.

Right, we're all here. So, I suppose I should figure out which one of you is my Aide. Seeing as I can trust none of you right now, I'll pick randomly.

The clatter of a die hitting a table carries over the call.

And it's going to be you, Victoria Frankenstein, Captain of New Ias. The Aide position will move down the list as we go. So. I'm sure you're all aware of the rules I've established for you.

Follow them, and we'll get the traitors to reveal themselves. Now, why don't you all introduce yourselves around the table, seeing as most of you, I assume, have not met one another. I rarely call a meeting, after all, and most of you are replacements for your... disloyal predecessors. Loyalty will be rewarded, disloyalty will be punished. Is this clear? Now, do as I said, introduce yourselves, captains of Admin Eight. And once you are ready, select the Regional Liason, and your operations will arrive. Try to do minimal low-priority ones. That would be... disloyal. We don't want to delay this too long. Every second we delay is another second CPO Liwari or Director Sendri has to find out and prepare. Goodbye, and remember. I'm watching. You'd better do this right.

The screen clicks off, as do the speakers. You are alone in the boardroom with the cameras recording and the specter of the Acid Mines or some other awful penal colony hanging over you. But what you could gain in victory... it would be everything you could want and more.

You all wake up in a mysterious dimension... a world bounded by otherworldly rules separate from that of the world you once knew...

.. Hello? Are you there?

A voice raises from the abyss...

This world is dying... you must restore the light... and save this realm!

The abyss receeds as the world loads in... spawning many vast mountains and valleys, rivers and roads... and among these expansions... a little girl.

Well... Not quite DYING... but have some adventure!

The little girl awakens, and.... what's that ominous shadow behind her?

[ROLL TO DODGE SYSTEM ENGAGED.]

(Note: Roll a D6 for actions you want to do. Rolls will be modified by your strengths and weaknesses, and 1 and 6 are "success from spectacular failure" and "failure from spectacular success". In addition, 1 becomes a failure if you have a negative modifier active, and 6 becomes an actual success if you have a positive one.)

Upon further inspection... Oh my! A... Slime? Kind of cliche there for an RPG setting, but... okay. What do you do?

[ACCESSING CYBERSPACE... Firewall bypassed!]

Welcome to the Digital World! Infinite Possibilities await!

This is an upcoming episodic RP where you explore different simulations and adventures! Space... Cities... from time and space, and even parallel worlds! ... Don't be fooled... this world runs on different rules... DICE rules!

Yeah, this is Roll to Dodge! Don't worry, depending on your character's attributes, you'll have modifiers that shift roles either for or against you.

Also, you'll have to roll for every action you do. Have fun! And don't let the RNG Bite!

Also, two questions:

Should rolls be d6 or d10 based?

And should the highest roll be "the best option, well done!" or "you did it! ... A bit TOO well."

Signup form:
- Name: Self-explanatory, lol
- Description: What are they like?
- Appearance: Either provide an image or a description
- Strengths and Weaknesses: This is what will primarily determine the modifiers you'll receive for certain rolls you do for actions.

tagpuan:// the reign of greed
(or: a urban fantasy cyberpunk RP)


episode 1: how the streets will glow

Under the light of the seven moons, the people gather around.
They gather around on precarious walkways, their heads up trying to breathe in fresher air. Little drones with the semblance of spirits in their eyes balance upon wires, as the street kids throw rocks at them, seeing who can knock them off. They've always said it was good luck, if you can reap one of their souls. Another life for you: something that they desperately needed in this city in a box.

It is a Saturday night, and they are looking for the stars through the neon. For some of you, the stars are all you've known before coming here. Many years ago, people called the stars pieces of the Creator, precious metals, a gold and silver and platinum body fragmented and set aflame by the skies and lands they created, ready to guide you through the universe they created if you look at them just right. 

If they're right, you have no way of knowing. These days, people still try and look up to them, but the light of Mission LLC has long since outshined the light of gods.

You've made it to the city central, after all this time. Towers built upon towers loom above you. Cyborgs and mods and salarymen and scam artists and scrap metal and what remains of little gods make their home here tonight under the neon signs, luring you into buying something or another, broadcasting about some head-in-the-stars terror gang, offering a once-in-a-lifetime escape to work amongst the stars, to let Mission be your salvation, a ticket to a better life.
You have made it all the way here. And despite it all, you are alone, aren't you? The one-man show of your own story. But it won't be a one man show for long.

The multicolored rain is falling. It keeps on falling. It keeps on falling. It keeps on falling.
You are all amongst the crowd. And you sense something...familiar. A glow that feels like the world before Titania was Titania, before it had risen from the trenches and when magic still meant something in the hearts of people.

You find others like you, in the crowd. Other escaped elements. What shall you do?

Titania is a city in a box.

It is a capsule, what remains of the burnt embers of Earth after humanity had long since destroyed it, disposed of it as they escaped to colonies on other planets, leaving those unfortunate enough to rot in a dying world, one that has lost its greenery and its magic. As the fires consumed the world around its walls, as it had been torn apart by elements and the men that controlled them, its past has been built up and torn apart, lost to time, like us. Some of us had remembered times long ago, when this city to the stars was merely a city to the skies, and before that a town, a village, a place that still had gold under its feet.
Despite this, it has survived. It remains, a sanctuary under the megacorporation, Mission LLC, for the broken, beaten, and damned who still remain on Earth, unable to see the glowing lights of the cosmos through the hazy skies.
It will be our sanctuary.
It will be the home that we reclaim.



So, what is this?





tagpuan: the reign of greed is a planned forum RP based around the TTRPG system BALIKBAYAN: RETURNING HOME by Jamila R. Nedjadi, from Sword Queen Games. I, however, have adapted it to work alongside a forum setting.

The game revolves around a far future cyberpunk city, where the players play Elementals, supernatural creatures who have been enslaved by megacorporations for eternities, as man reached to the stars. But now, you have escaped the grasp of these corporations for now, with great sacrifice, returning back to a scorched Earth you seek to make home again.

This RP will likely be episodic: I plan on being the main DM, but I will allow other people to run episodic arcs to take the load off of myself if needed. Like filler stuff, essentially. This thread acts as both of a signup, and a way to gauge interest.





Making a Character



The player characters in BALIKBAYAN are Elementals: supernatural creatures that have been enslaved by corporate masters for the technological advancement of humanity. In the game, these Elementals are divided into six archetypes: the Tikbalang, the Diwata, the Saint, the Aswang, the Santelmo, and the Duwende.

• You still need to choose an archetype. This is just for the sake of mechanics. Just choose what archetype best suits the creature/figure that you want to play.
  
• I'm letting you make up myths for your OCs if you want. Just let it fit the vibes.
  
• I'm just making the authoritative choice as a DM to likely not allow most European mythological creatures, unless you can give a pretty convincing argument as to why you should play this character and why it can still fit the setting. As previously mentioned, the game itself has very post-colonial Filipino vibes, and I do want to try and maintain most of the vibes of the initial TTRPG, something that might be sort of difficult if some of the more common European myths are used. If you want to play a vampire or something, there's plenty of vampire folklore from around the world you can use, and this goes for most supernatural archetypes.
  
• That being said, I won't ban you from using figures from outside your own culture. I will, however, advise you to be thoughtful about it. Like, if you want to make a skinwalker or wendigo, well, that would be kind of a dick move on your part, because multiple Native people have talked about why that's just Off.
  

• Strong Moves are powerful moves, things that can be done by your character that let them shine, show off their skills, and further pushes them towards their goals. Think flashy uses of magic, or incredible skills of persuasion. To use them, spend a token.
  
• Weak Moves, on the other hand, are when your character invites risk, allows themself to be weak. Let your magic fade away, allow yourself to become flawed. Or, do something pretty stupid. By doing this, you can earn a token. Don't be too stupid, though. Please.
  

• RECKONING is how close you are to being recaptured by the Corp. Every time a box gets marked towards RECKONING, an obstacle is added to the group.
  
• HOMECOMING is how close you are to becoming free, and making this city your home once more. Every time a box gets marked towards HOMECOMING, a benefit is added to the group.
