Premise
Much in the world goes unexplained.
The paranormal. The supernatural. The occult. The extra-terrestrial.
You're not sure which of these, if any, could explain what happened in Summit Town 10 years ago. You witnessed it firsthand, and it's been haunting you up until the present day.
(It's hazy in your memory, and it's hazy in the memory of everyone else you knew. There is a hole in your dreams, a leak in your thoughts that sings in migraines. You clutch your hands over the sucking gut wound of your mind.)
So. What else can you do but accept when you receive an invitation to a convention? A Summit Town Summit. You've been green lit to join a team of scientists, engineers, and theorists gathered by the Ascentsy Group.
Maybe you think you qualify to join this team. Maybe you don't.
But you want answers.
About
Project Iapetus or PI2 is a Limited Time Game (or LTG, a roleplay campaign with a set start-and-end date), set on a pre-apocalyptic Earth.
It is a prequel to Prometheus Initiative, however no knowledge of the original game is necessary to apply to PI2. In fact, if you don't know anything about the original PI, you're encouraged to avoid snooping around the blog overly much! There are no promises that canon events and characters will actually remain continuous between the two.
Roleplay will take place primarily in discord. Plot important developments will be posted to Tumblr.
Influences for vibes are drawn from material in the realm of Control (game), SCP Foundation, Stranger Things, Neon Genesis Evangelion, and the Magnus Archives.
Even though this group is not an MKG (mutual killing game), there will be horror elements due to the genre. Players should be prepared for:
description of fatal injuries
discussions of mortality
discussions of existentialism
in-character lying, betrayal, vitriol, and confrontation
suspense and horror elements
in-character grief and despair
potential NPC death (PC death may also occur, but is not planned nor required)
We ask that players be mindful of in-character and out-of-character separation.
