Nex: City of Doors

Throughout the stolen city of Nex, there are many Doors, and each one leads to different reality.

You play a group of opportunists called FreeRunners or Jacks ("Jacks are Hardy, Jacks are Willing, Jacks are... Expendable"), taking on difficult and dangerous jobs going into the various different Verses behind the Doors of Nex, on behalf of wealthy and powerful Patrons. Patrons are weird, and rule their own domains; there are exiled gods, demons, and stranger beings still. Nex is a place for the exiled, the lost, the forgotten and everyone and everything in between.

Patrons want and need things from other places, and require someone to do their dirty work for them, in exchange for COIN and REP.

This game is inspired by Sig: City of Blades, along with other multiverse and portal/planar fiction.

I am planning to play on SAT or SUN at 7:00 PM UK time (2:00 PM US Eastern) starting in AUGUST. Each session should be a somewhat self-contained foray into another reality, and I'm running this as a kind of test to see how it plays. If I get a good feel, I may put some more sessions on the calendar for September or later.

NO experience with 24XX, Forged in the Dark, or multiverse/portal fiction required, though the latter helps. 24XX is very light and OSR-ish and is very similar to FitD/PbtA's tiered rolling. The game is actually 1400 Planes by UnknownDungeon (https://unknowndungeon.itch.io/1400-planes). It's not necessary to buy the rules of course, but supporting creators is of course a good thing.

I will most likely have a 4th player from off the Open Hearth from my regular online group in both sessions.

CONTENT WARNING: The tone may take some swings depending on the realities the group enters. Post-apocalyptic, fantasy, SF, etc. The overall tone will likely be cinematic but leaning into gritty at times. We will of course be adhering to the Open Hearth's Conduct, and there will be Communication(aka Safety) Tools including Lines & Veils in the Character Keeper, the X-Card, Script Change, and Open Door.

We will use a separate Discord server for the theatre-of-the-mind play, along with a Google Sheet Character Keeper.

Please feel free to DM me on the OpenHearth Discord (jonsolo42) if you have any additional questions. :)
