The Lore
Play by Post Collaborative Storytelling Game
Antarok is a freeform play-by-post forum roleplaying game with a tabletop-like character progression. Participants begin play by filling out a character sheet (CS) and then write from that character's point of view, wherever they may be in the world. They earn XP and Gold to spend on skills, abilities, and more. Antarok is designed with freedom of choice and diversity in mind, with a strong focus on collaboration and community - no matter your interests.
Your adventure is what you choose, be it a simple life or the exploration of arcane mysteries. Maybe you wish to tend to a herd of cattle and build a home far away from home? Our wish is to see your stories come to pass, humble or grand.
Fantasy Genre
Antarok is set in a high fantasy world with grimdark and Victorian-era steampunk elements. Much of our work is designed with aesthetic choice and traditional fantasy tropes in mind, to be an original and sometimes twisted take on familiar things from popular franchises while also being simplified and easy to approach with real world nomenclature as the basis for the game. You are encouraged to explore both traditional and non-traditional fantasy writing as you wish, so long as it follows Antarok lore.
