the end is nigh
Nihilum is a post-apocalyptic role play that welcomes
players of all skill levels, set in the fictional
city of Fas after a meteor’s impact has wiped out
the vast majority of the human population. The
emphasis here is what happens in character, not
what we plan out of character; we want to encourage
character development and push the apocalypse survivors
to their limits with a harsh, unforgiving environment.
Will your character keep faith in his humanity, or
do whatever it takes to fight for his survival?

Explorable but inhospitable, much of the shopping mall is covered with debris and glass. Most of the upper floors have been decimated, but danger aside it is a good place to scavenge for useful goods.

Little is left of the once beautiful boulevards, beyond obliterated high street shops and roads filled with rubble and sewage water. A toppled skyscraper has fallen over the main boulevard, creating an intimidating, unstable archway.

Few subway entrances remain, and much of the inside is unreachable due to collapsed tunnels. There are some chambers and areas in good condition, including a few untouched trains, but the fact that it is littered with the corpses of those who attempted to take shelter here makes the subway much less appealing.

The square is now massacred and empty, with only pieces of market stalls here and there. Some goods are scattered about, but most of it was fresh produce. The statue of the city’s founder is grimly embedded in a wall without its head.

Though flooded and a breeding ground for disease, much of the slums is in one piece due to the lack of tall buildings. As this was the centre of black market and gang violence, finding ‘protection’ might be easier here than elsewhere.

The wealthy district of Fas is now a shell of its former self, with only crumbling ruins and bare, blasted gardens to show off the former residents’ affluence. Some houses are still comfortable shelters, but obvious targets for looters.

The once lovely foliage in the city park is now stripped bare and dead, and nearby buildings have spilled over into the park, some having crushed what was once a children’s play area. All animal life seems to have vanished save for the dead fish floating on the surface of the pond.

The more suburban area of Fas holds a few nice sized houses, though some are torn straight from their foundations, and some now destroyed plots of farm land. There are a few ponds, but whether the water is drinkable is questionable.

The once clear ocean is now stained with God only knows what, and the rocky shores of the beach are littered with debris and seaweed. Piers and some coastal shops were ripped to shreds by the waves that followed the meteor’s impact.

Warmer than the surface, but no more than a catacomb of unstable tunnels and old sewage, with some small chambers and dead ends created by the falling rubble. They are damp and unpleasant, but in some places suitable shelter for those who can’t find it elsewhere.

Talk about this and that and that which is in no way role play related.
