The Pioneers

The apocalypse was long, long, ago.  It looks like the land has fully recovered.  The sky is clear of pollution and the stars light it up at night.  This place of refuge where you live is slowly failing.  And so some are chosen to go out into the land and restart civilization.  There is even a specific goal.  It was built as a replica of an early American town and conveniently named Pioneer Village.  Is it there?   Is it occupied?  You get to find out for you are a Pioneer.  Others will follow and join but you are the First Pioneers.  Or so the official story goes.

I’m doing an interest check to see what people think of the idea of a free-form game with an Adult rating to allow you to express yourself in situations pleasant or terrifying but much more than that it would be the story of conquering a new land, Terra, also known as Earth.  This would not be a game with lots of gratuitous violence or sex but more a story of the struggles to reclaim the home you never knew.  That’s not to say that there wouldn't be romance or violence but, like the American pioneers colonizing the lands to the west, it would be the story of everyday life in difficult situations.  Tech level would be low for the most part though you will have a nearly indestructible laptop with a solar charger for reference.  Weapons will be Pre-black powder level.  You will have a laptop.  What you put on it just might make a difference between failure and survival.  Magic is unknown to the Pioneers but…  What is out there?  You just don’t know.

You don’t know so you obviously scout out the land and report back, not just start a colony.  For various stated reasons the powers that be will not send out any scouts.  Why?  The Pioneers never learn that the ultra rich in control of The City are terrified that some outside germ or disease or “something” will get in and kill them.  In reality the opposite is true but, since no scientists were ever included as residents  nor were any trained, no one knows how close The City is to completely failing.  So when the Pioneers go out iot is a one way trip hence the supplies and equipment they are given is mostly low tech and something that they can, maintain, repair, and produce more of.

I would be interested.

Hopefully more people will be.  :)

Sounds interesting to me. I'm in.

I'm definitely interested.

I just updated the description per some constructive criticism.  Are you still interested?  I'm still hoping for a close to equal ratio of women to men. I'm male.  Anyone else willing to reveal character gender.

Player characters will have huge input into what supplies and equipment are taken on the journey.

I just opened the game.  It's called The Pioneers and here's a link to in (I hope.)
