Session⁰- The Masters of Eternal Memory

Lucid Abyss is being rebuilt and revived as a persistent, multi-DM Underworld RPG. The original Lucid Abyss was a free Discord-based persistent-world RPG. I am trying to rebuild the project back after nearly 3 years, rebuilding its foundation from scratch, and developing it toward a professionally operated, persistent world. This is not a traditional D&D campaign and there is no prewritten adventure waiting to be run aside from the decided world boss. I want this project to become a premium server with a live, and engagement-driven community. The goal is a living world where multiple DMs operate within the same persistent setting, players make their own choices, and those choices create lasting consequences. 🜏 WHAT WE'RE BUILDING The rebuilt Lucid Abyss will use a curated combination of: • Underworld Races & Classes • Sandy Petersen's Cthulhu Mythos • The Psychic & Spiritual Handbook • The appropriate 5e class framework Core 5e races will remain excluded due to the unique setting circumstances, as well as the higher power scaling. There are already so many available races that having too many could complicate the narrative generation for story content. Many also share large similarities to other core races. (Don't worry, humans are still around with a twist lol) Subclasses will be curated from the setting material, rather than automatically allowing everything available in every core or homebrew source. There are enough unique base classes and subclasses to cover the game mechanics many times over. We're building a single game environment where their strongest ideas can coexist without cluttering the mechanical and racial pool. ⚙️ WHY WE NEED PROJECT LEADERS The revival has reached the point where the project needs people who can take ownership of major systems. We're looking for leaders for: UNDERWORLD SYSTEMS Underworld races, classes, subclasses, racial interactions, environmental mechanics, crafting, equipment, and balance. CTHULHU MYTHOS Mythos races, subclasses, dread, insanity, Dreamlands, formulas, Mythos magic, cults, and related systems. PSYCHIC / SPIRITUAL SYSTEMS Psychic powers, power points, possession, dreams, spirit mechanics, psychic conditions, and interactions with other systems. PERSISTENT-WORLD SYSTEMS Economy, crafting, downtime, travel, death, resurrection, information, factions, resources, and long-term world consequences. DM OPERATIONS Creating consistent standards so multiple DMs can run the same world without contradictory rulings, duplicated consequences, or different interpretations of the same mechanics. 🧠 WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR You don't need to be an expert in everything. We're looking for people with genuine experience in areas such as: • D&D 5e • Homebrew design • Game balance • Persistent-world RPGs • Discord RPG administration • Worldbuilding • DMing • Economy/system design • Community management • Horror / Mythos • Psionics / supernatural systems • Rules documentation Most importantly, you should be able to analyze systems, recognize unintended interactions, document decisions, and work with other leaders. 🎭 THE CAMPAIGN PHILOSOPHY The world boss is delegated amongst the appropriate project leaders and changes as players defeat them. No mandatory quest chain. World progression and story progression pressures players in a rewarding way for an active, dedicated, and plot-interested player economy. The world has its own conditions, factions, dangers, resources, and ongoing events. Players determine where the campaign goes as the DM implements the subject field. Adaptation and dungeon master versatility are the most important pieces for a living world. The DM team crafts their own stories in the sub-categories aligned with the decided world-structure. Mythos, and metaphysical lore can be a potential candy land for storytelling. The world boss is intended to be complementary to the DM's story, and high intensity is encouraged as this is a high power level setting. 📋 INTERESTED IN JOINING THE REVIVAL?

System: D&D 5e (Heavily modified / custom toolset playtest) Setting: Low-magic, gritty high-adventure fantasy (Think Lord of the Rings, no sci-fi/superhero) Schedule: Weekdays between 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM MST Session Length: ~3–4 hours per session (Frequency/day to be locked in with the group) Platform: Discord for voice + custom web tools. About the Game If you love the grounded, mythic feel of The Lord of the Rings and prefer narrative problem-solving over memorizing hundreds of spell cards, this game is for you. I am running a playtest campaign to try out some custom digital tools and streamlined mechanics I've been developing. As well as getting some of the many homebrew stories I have written out there. PLUS a custom magic system that focuses on allowing you to create/tweak your own spells... it is going to be great! Who I am Looking For Beginners & Rule-Agnostic Players: If you've never played D&D before or don't know the rulebook inside out, you are the ideal candidate. Because we will be tweaking and breaking standard 5e rules, you don't need system mastery only a desire to roleplay and explore. An interest in magic will also come in handy. Collaborative & Communicative: Helpful with giving quick, honest feedback on the custom tools between/after sessions.

Gundam Missions is a cooperative tactical tabletop RPG for up to 5 players plus a Game Master (GM). It combines elements of tabletop RPGs, miniature wargames and tactical board games, with the focus placed on teamwork, objective-based missions and Mobile Suit combat rather than simply destroying every enemy on the battlefield. Each player takes the role of a pilot and controls their own Mobile Suit throughout the campaign. The GM runs the enemy forces, mission events, objectives and the wider campaign narrative. As the campaign progresses, players earn rewards, develop their pilots, customise their mission loadouts and gain access to new equipment and tactical options. Missions include scenarios such as Destroy, Escort, Sabotage, Capture and Rescue, alongside larger boss-style encounters. These are connected by light storytelling and an ongoing campaign narrative, eventually building towards a final confrontation with the campaign's recurring enemy commander — essentially the campaign's "Big Bad." The game is intentionally more of a tactical RPG than a traditional roleplay-heavy RPG. You won't need to spend hours acting in character or memorising Gundam lore. Most of your time will be spent making battlefield decisions with the rest of the party: choosing routes, managing resources, protecting allies, completing objectives and deciding when to fight, advance or fall back. Missions take place on a 48" × 72" battlefield using 2D terrain, objective markers and game tokens. Movement and weapon ranges are measured in inches, while combat uses dice rolls for attacks, defence and other effects. Mobile Suits have different movement, weapons, armour, equipment and battlefield roles, giving each player their own strengths while encouraging the group to work together as a proper squad. A major part of Gundam Missions is the use of physical 1/144 scale Gunpla models. Each player needs a 1/144 Mobile Suit model to represent their unit on the battlefield. You do not need to already own a Gunpla to play, as a suitable model can be provided. However, building and bringing your own kit is highly encouraged. Choosing, assembling and customising your own Mobile Suit is part of the RPG experience, and the idea is that you gradually develop a connection with the machine you take through the campaign. All other game materials — battlefield, terrain, tokens, objective pieces and supporting components — are provided. You also do not need to be a Gundam expert. Gundam fans will obviously recognise plenty of the machines and references, but previous knowledge of the anime or wider Universal Century timelines isn't required. If you enjoy tabletop RPGs, miniature wargames, tactical board games, Gunpla, or cooperative games and fancy trying something different, you should be able to pick the system up fairly quickly. The rules are designed to be approachable for new players while still offering enough tactical depth for experienced tabletop players. Individual missions are expected to last approximately 1–2 hours, with the first campaign currently planned to begin this autumn and sessions expected to run roughly every other week. Gundam Missions is a free-to-play, independent, fan-developed project and is still actively being playtested and refined. Rules, balance, missions and other systems may therefore change as development continues. While the project is in a playable state, players joining the first campaign won't just be playing the game — their feedback and experiences will also help shape and improve it as the project develops.
