Downfall 2026: Life In The Big Shitty Ingredients List
Intent Forward: This event takes place in Aysea, a region defined by instability, violence, corruption, horror, competing ideologies, and the constant strain of survival. The following content elements are expected to appear throughout the event but these are not an exhaustive list due to what players bring to the table as collaborative created content.
Players should review this list and make informed decisions about their level of engagement. It is our intent to focus more on the darker aspects of the post-apocalypse than is normally found in a standard monthly event. We will provide meta-tools for guidance and comfort navigation, however, players are responsible for monitoring their own well being and making the active decision for continued play. Given this is a virtual space, it is much more difficult for OK-Check Ins to be a functional tool. Players must be accountable for their own experience, engagement, and well being.
Graphic depictions of violence and conflict. This includes physical conflict, scripted emotional and social abuse, and political manipulations.
Loss, grief, and emotional strain.
Moral ambiguity, ethical conflict, and “no good answer” or “lesser of two evils” scenarios.
Resource scarcity and survival pressure.
Psychological tension and paranoia. In-character gas lighting, unfair power dynamics, and verbal conflict.
