This is a Rolemaster Actual Play using both Discord and Tabletop Simulator. Rolemaster is a "crunchy" tabletop roleplaying game from which started in the 1980s

“Twilight of the Old Order” & “Ain’t No Place for a Hero” are two campaigns, currently conjoined, set in the World of Duranarki, The Continent of Men, a homebrew setting. The "Twilight of the Old Order" campaign started in July 2019, originally in person in Auckland, New Zealand, and the "Ain't No Place for a Hero" campaign started in July 2020. The two stories are interwoven and have at times resulted in the two parties joining together, as they are presently.

The first recording of these two campaigns and subsequent posting to YouTube, took place in December 2022 - January 2023. The first recorded episode were Episode 82 of Twilight and Episode 60 of Hero. For a summary of what has happened previously in each campaign please watch the two “Tale So Far” videos in each of the individual campaign’s playlists in the YouTube Channel (coming soon if not already uploaded).

The game system used in our game is Rolemaster 2nd Edition/Classic, with a very liberal inclusion of home rules.

ABOUT THE SETTING:

World of Duranarki, The Continent of Men;

It is a time of high international tension, particularly between the three major world powers; The Kingdom of Thrayce, The Empire of Thamazaul & the Confederation of the Sarn Kush.

While, humans predominate both other species also clamour and strive to make their mark in this tired, war torn land.

In this gritty, cut throat, world, politics, religion and commerce reign supreme. Characters need to be both smart and ruthless to survive.

This setting is a labour of love for myself, Chris (aka GM Chance), having been started in ~1992 and worked on ever since.
