The world is different in the Latter Earth, in the far future, or perhaps far past. It bears the marks of alien beings, of human beings of alien soul-likeness, of mere human depravity and hubris. The earth is not subdued, the errant science-magic of the Legacy has warped it, and weird living or half-living things move upon it, and in the sky and in the seas. Where mankind once stretched far and wide, now it huddles in its towns and cities and what they can defend, fearing greatly the savage wilderness and greater still that which is not.
Still, the great expanses of unruled land and sorcery-blighted wastes are ever a promising prospect to those desperate, brave, and foolish enough to risk their very lives and push back against the hazards of wasteland, whether they hunt treasure, seek to settle new pinpricks of civilisation, or simply work for hire. Those in the profession of violence are feared and tolerated, envied and desired, and when needed, even loved.

Worlds Without Number is a fairly light D&D variant from Sine Nomine Publishing. It is built around a stripped-down B/X ruleset with a 2d6 out of combat skill system. We will be playing in its default setting, in the Gyre, as appears in the book. Anyone interested?

I'll be happy to! I hope to have at least three players, and I'll leave the RP wide open for people to join, but I hope to have the OOC thread up by Friday, no matter what.

What kind of play/genre tropes are you interested in? The different regions of the Gyre are suited to lots of different possibilities. If you've read the book, perhaps you have a locale you're particularly into.

I've had a flick through the book already. I plan on giving it a thorough read tomorrow. From what I've seen so far though, I enjoy the thought of a pulp sword and sorcery domain play set in Llaigis. Rather than working for warlords and chieftains, I want to be one myself, carve out a realm built on my crushed enemies and their lamenting women, and ascend to the same decadent heights as the land's rulers.

That sounds like a lot of fun, although you won't be able to start as a ruler, or, for that matter, with any more posessions than what character creation gives you. With luck and cunning, though, you should have a stronghold in no time, either granted to you in exchange for loyalty, or seized from an enemy.

Here is my PC. This is my first time making a Worlds Without Number character, so do let me know if I've slipped up anywhere.

That looks pretty good. When I put the RP up I'll ask you to replace your "goal" with a two or three sentence summary of your character. Not too much, since characters can be quite fragile in the system, and I'd like you to flesh him out more in the course of play.

I've never heard of this system. Nor am very familiar with it. Sounds interesting though.

I'd be happy to have you! I'm not very experienced with it myself, but if you have any questions, I'll do what I can to answer.

@RedOnTheBed is there an open source pdf for the rules or anything?

@Dark Cloud

There's a gratis PDF available from DriveThruRPG here, which is also linked in the OOC thread, which, by the way, is up and running. (@rush99999)
