Silver Rivers

June 11, 2021 Futuristic and Sci-Fi RPGs

Visit

Silver Rivers is a 3/3/3 Play-by-Post, original science fiction roleplay community set in year 3042 isolated aboard a colony ship that has been sabotage, lost in space and far from its destination. Designed for psychological horror, intrigue, and realism.
Designed with advanced writers, mature adults 21+ in mind who prefer 300+ wordcount, a dash of critical thinking and a love for interpersonal connections. In Silver Rivers, everything a character does matters from the air that they breathe, words spoken, and actions made.
Consider Silver Rivers a “space scenario” and collectively characters through decisions, interactions, actions, and collective skills choose their own ending. So, while there is an overarching story that matters, it is up to the characters to drive where it goes and if the colony ship ultimately ever gets to its destination (or finds a new one). Cause and effect are high here because…. Space is not safe.
