After RPG
In stock at the following stores: Games København, Games Aarhus
After is a game about telling a shared story in both the past and the present. The main story arc takes place in the present with brief, explanatory excursions into the past. Players will each handle two versions of their character. In the present, they are a relatively complex and powerful character. In the past, they are a relatively simple but effective adventurer whose story is just beginning.
After is independent of its setting, but offers an optional setting, its own strange world, Extempore. After takes place in the world of Extempore. Extempore is a world of ephemeral landmasses – called domains – seemingly plucked from countless fantastical worlds. The result is a maximalist landscape where almost any genre of story can be represented and probably smashed together without further ado.
These domains could house a neon-soaked noir film where hackers clash with an orcish mafia, a haunted landscape populated only by orphaned shadows, or the entire state of Rhode Island circa 1978.
It follows that the population of Extempore is similarly chaotic: AIs with a penchant for necromancy, punk rock medusae, or an accountant who grew up in Rhode Island circa 1978 but now leads an orcish mafia.
This means that whatever stories the players and narrator are trying to tell, they need to feel at home in this strange and chaotic world.
