HosMost of the surrounding ecology is a sort of massively mutated pine and firn forest to its north with massive rolling, hills to the south. Very much a temperate, if a bit warmer, nortern biome.

-Can we be fantasy races in addition to mundane races? (because I love me some Halflings)
In a sense, yes. The human race itself has been altered by the reality shift. So its less "I am a race from dnd" and more "Wtf, My ears are pointy and my eyes see real good". This game will take place, essentially a generatior or two pass the first event. So these "races" would have had children that grown up at the time of the game.
Can we be magic users or in possession of magical artifacts? (because I usually like tinkerers and scouts)
-100 percent. Whats the point of magic if you cant use it! There will be more explenation once the OOC is set up.
Are we from a certain country or faction?
There arent really any borders or countries anymore. Seeing how everythings collapsed. But you all belong to the same small society/town. That of "Lanterns Light", a safe haven that yo uwill help build and settle the ground around.
World State
How long ago was this apocalypse?
-About 40 years ago. Enough time for there to have been two generations and people having settled somewhat. The resource scarcity isnt really a problem. Its not the nuclear winter scenario. There is if possible, more resources now. Some of them new, such as things with magical properties. Its just a matter of the world being untamed and dangerous once again for humanity.

Absolutely. The dice system is very very basic. Essetially you will have 4 main stats: Strength, Agility, Spirit and Cunning. You'll also have a get to chose a few general skills. TO decide what your charachter is decent at from the start. As well as 2 simple abilities you make yourself (obviusly I wil lhelp with all of this and approve the final versions of the ability)
You'll get to roll when in combat or other difficult situations and you'll be rolling regular 6 sided die at first. Based of the stats and whatever skills you have, you get abonus to what you do.
Example: If you have A sword skill at lvl 1, thats +1. And if you have Str at 2, thats +2. So together that roll is +3! Its very simple.

This isnt our world anymore.
Themes and Setting: Rebuilding, Light Citybuilding, Drama, Postapocalypse, Science-Fantasy.
Player count:5-8
Level: High-Casual/Low-Advance
Notes: Might use a custom, easy to use dice system.
The world has ended. Not in nuclear war. Not the seemingly inevitable result of rampant capitalism and enviromental destruction. No, something else manages to beat us there, despite our best efforts. Magic ended the world. Magic. Fucking world rending, earth-shattering, sky splitting magic. Imagine the surprise on our faces when a goddamn dragon burned Buckingham palace. When a great Kraken heaved out of the ocean, and just sank a US Navy carrier like it was a toyboat. Or when metropolises suddenly became besieged from within as the began to reanimate in some sort of zombie plague created by Necromancers of all things.
At the time. We didnt understand it. We didn't know how to fight or deal with it. We almost wiped from the planet, from reality itself. Turns out, there was many other worlds out there. And our world, our reality, ended up crashing into another. From what others have told us, the magical things were just as confused as us. Unfortunately, the more violent and down right elements of that other reality had been the firs to react, seeing a magicless, unprepared world to plunder and savage.

Hello! Hellis or Hella here. Long time member, long time gone!
Reality Reforged is going to be a Postapocalytic game about community building, finding strength in one another and rebuilding in a world brought to ruins by the sudden, violent emergence of magic. This game centers the cast helping in the efforts to rebuild a life for themselves and others. Magic is abundant, and while some landmarks of old earth remain, a lot of it is overgrown or fundamentally altered due to the merge of the two realities. Modern technology is still a thing, to a point. Somethings, like computers you wont see much off, as the entire supplychain and global networks that allows for such creations is all but gone. But guns and other mechanical things still hang around, and have even been redesigned with magic in mind.
Its in advanced, becouse I like some depths and plan to put in a lot of effort into this and I feel the expecations of Advanced posting best serves my vision.
Alot of this will be somewhat sandboxy, with little missions for gathering resources, dealing with threats are going to popup or discover places that are relavant to the overall lore and story of the world. The city itself is gonna be its own, living, breathing charachter so to speak. It will grow, have events depending on outcome of missions and decisions from the players. And as it grows, as will the story progress and new things will be unlocked. As this is a collaborative effort, I will run tallys and check with my players as to what missions interest them, what they want to see added to the city etc. SO that we all have a stake in it!
As for charachters, I like a bit of "low start, progress to greatness" and I have a little, very simple dice system lined up for it. No set classes, I'd like for players to basicly "build" their own classes as the game go, with adding their own unique skills and abilities as they level up.

They were truly legion. For no matter how many she cut down, another took its place. The undead swarmed, they didn't bother with formations, they didn't think of retreat. She could not affod such luxury. Bellowing a warcry she rallied her retinue to break trough the middle of the mass as soon as her allies began to fight the archers in earnest. Utilizing the brief respite from arrows and bolts, she and her samurai dove into the thick of it with one goal in mind. To carve a path. Her samurai preferred nodachi. massive two handed swords meant to cut trough pikemen and light cavalry. They turned out to be excellent weapons against tightly packed undead as well, her samurai drawing scores of kill with their advance.
“Do not falter. Press on!” She bellowed again, her blade cutting a bloody crescent as she cut into two mostly decayed shambling undead. Another explosion let her know another nest of archers were taken care of. Each rumbling helped her mind focus, to reset her goal and push further. IT was working to, without constant arrows raining down on her formation, the samurai under her and the other lords pushed into the throng and cut them down. Her blades flashed in light blue upon each cut, the holy blade severing whatever foul magic kept the corpses still moving. Up the stairs they went, a battle that was more then just uphill. The sheer mass of undead climbing upon one another threatened to become a unholy avalanche of biting, scratching flesh,
“YARI, UPFRONT!” She hollered as the trident like spears were hustled to the front, perfect to push in and back the now thinning, undead hordes. Thats when he heard them.
They were spectres of death. Howling, shrieking death. Nagri. They came all but flying into battle, jumping of ramparts and rooftops. Most of them wielded naginatas and wore tattered white robes over their armor. It told her they were most likely former warrior monks, Their shreeks sent men reeling and cutting their ears in pain, only for them to be cleaved in half by monstrously strong swings of those naginatas. One came at her, pushing it in a quick thrust, pressing the attack as she backed away.
“PRESS THE ATTACK!” She yelled to her men who were falling back from the sheer ferocity of the Nagris sudden appearance. Blood soaked her clothes at this point as a battle like this was far from a clean affair.
She cut to the side, dodging a shamblers clumsy sword swing and kicked it into the Nagris path. The Nagri simply battered it aside, but that split second was enough. One of her blades found their home in his skull. There was a second of a pause, then the skull exploded.

He drove the edge of his shield right into the bridge of his opponents nose, listening to the sound of crunching skull as he moved with his fellow warriors at the gate. They were met with hard, violent resistance. The shamblers here had been kept in a better state, and still wore sets of armour and wielded their weapons with a chaotic frenzy. He deflected a spear and took the undead spearman's head clean off as he moved into the undead pikewall. His job was to tie up the bulk of them so that the more nimble of their forces could move in. So he and his did what they were best at, they bellowed their warcry engaged the enemy head on. His cleaver of a sword cut flesh and severed the undead magic within it, separating heads from shoulders and cutting arms of bodies. He became a dervish as he tried to buy what time he could.
That’s when the screeches began. It rang out across the battlefield like a angry sirens call of death, he saw men and women around collapse, and felt a small trickle of blood run down his left ear. He gritted his teeth and buckled down, shoving a undead pikeman aside with his shield, moving towards the source of the sound.
“SHUT.” HE screamed as he a sword dug into his side, dispatching the attacker without stopping to check the wound. “UP!” He tossed his blade, saw it sail in a perfect spin and arc, saw with satisfaction as it hit the Nagri square in the chest, the creature clawed at the blade as it began to dissolve into fiery dust, seeing their captains bravery, his squad moved in, wading in to form a circle around him as was helped up by Aulan, his sister and second in command.
“You threw your blade brother”
“Had… to shut it up” He groaned, feeling his left ear, which was still ringing. “Get me to my blade Sister. I hear it calling.”
Situation Report:
Docks:
The clever tactics of the vanguard at the Docks has lessened the archers to an after thought, and secured the flank. The Docks are now a proper beach head for a second wave of attackers to reinforce. Push your advantage, even as they enemy is employing nagri.
Gate:
The battle is slow, but successful in the livings favor. The Sanguine have let loose their most powerful Nagri to try and stem the tide. Their screeches can outright make your men pass out. Silence them at all costs or your infantry will fall!

<Snipped quote by Hellis>
Really? Because I want to play a character that *starts* without a sacred weapon that takes the life of someone to even make? It only seemed natural that a character like that exists.
I don't mind not playing anyway now, your response was repulsive and short sighted.
You do you.
@Moonbound sounds like this aint the game for you.
