welcome
The Dark Colony is a mature intermediate-to-advanced post-apocalyptic roleplaying game set in Chicago, Illinois in the year 2063 after a massive deadly flu outbreak that spanned the world. The survivors are beginning to rebuild their lives without the use of the facilities and luxuries they used to own. Crime and debauchery run rampant, the once beautiful city falling into disarray and decay. The only way to survive is to stick together and to recolonize the world.
We have no word count and no character count. To join, please register with FIRST MIDDLE and LAST NAMES in all capital letters and fill out an application. We look forward to having you!
At the moment, the roleplay has not officially started up, but we're accepting applications and registrations in the meantime!
setting
Set in 2063 in Chicago, Illinois, on the back of a massive flu pandemic that killed billions of people across the world.
