  • odO5Lza.jpgwLLeTdQ.pngThe year is 2078. The 21st century will soon draw to a close, and for the past hundred years, the world has been at war with itself, changing and developing, in a state of metamorphosis. First, wood. Concrete. Then, steel. The air becomes thick with smog as smokestacks spit their filth and soot into the clouds. Carbon chrome and bright lights speckle the cities of the world, glowing in the darkness of a world wracked by pollution. The further they rise into the sky, the more that each and every one of those monstrous towers shadow the streets below. The weak become weaker, the sick become sicker, and the powerful continue to gain their foothold in a world that was now ruled by the corporations lofted above the 'lesser men' from the sanctuary of their ascending structures. A torn and broken world is all that is left behind now. The once-great figureheads of the century hide in the shadows, waiting for the end to finally come.

    wLLeTdQ.pngYou came into this torn world at a terrible time. The older generations gazed upon you in your childhood with dread as they awoke, systematically, to the world you would grow up in. The harsh truth strikes like a viper; what was once a great, earth-bound society has crumbled into degeneration and filth. Oh, these new augmentations, these new technologies, they seemed wonderful at first. Promising. No longer, though. The people who use them are twisted and deformed by metal and synthetic. Why are the people in the streets always wearing blank looks upon their faces? Who can truly say, with the masks that these people wear, that they are man, or machine? The light of the sun seems darker than the glowing lights of the city. Eerily beautiful, you might think? Perhaps... but the darkness cast over the towering corporate strongholds tells another story entirely...

    IMPORTANT NOTE
    At the moment, the information here is a work in progress. You may see bits and pieces as we assemble it all together. Roleplay is still going on, and even integrated into the setting as we continue on, so don't hesitate to try us out!

    wLLeTdQ.pngHello and welcome to the page for the Terra: Dark Future setting! You'll find all the information about this homebrew setting all in one place here. The setting and the community is always growing, so feel free to take a look around! As you go through each of the sections, make sure you expand them to read more. There is a lot of information here and our way of condensing it is to use collapse tags.

    wLLeTdQ.pngWe believe in an immersive and truly player-driven experience. The world of Terra is literally your oyster. You can cook it any way that you like. A perfectly dynamic story that begins to change and grow as soon as you step foot into it. Any of your actions have rippling effects on the events of the game, however small or large, or insignificant as they might seem. You will be thrown through a spiraling staircase that only gets deeper and darker as you descend it. You will find yourself in new heights as you look down upon a world, much like our own, but in a dark and treacherous future. This is where you will reside. This is Earth, in its darkest hour.


    wLLeTdQ.pngInterested in participating? This group is open to anyone who might be interested in roleplay oriented around Cyberpunk, Science Fiction, Dystopia, and so on. We encourage you to join us and help to expand it into something amazing!

    Roll-over into 2078

    Posted By DarkDesperation on Dec 30th 2015

    The new year has arrived and to keep with the time scale of Terra, we're now rolling over into the year 2078. I did this 2 days early, I know.

    Nothing really changes, largely our setting stays the same, events continue as they are going, but it's now a new year. Everything occurring from here...

    Weekly sessions

    Posted By DarkDesperation on Dec 26th 2015

    Was thinking about running weekly sessions. This could be either on rolld20 or on our forums themselves. We get everyone together who can attend and start off some RP.

    What do you guys think? What day works best for you, and would this be something you would do?
