Highwayman Play by Post



Embark on a journey across the sun-baked sands of the Great Dust Bowl as a part of a nomadic tribe chasing the habitable zone with a convoy of pre-war automobiles. Scavenge ruins for parts or cars to add to the caravan, fight through slaver attacks, and recruit new survivors while you travel between towns to protect a mysterious man from the west. Carrying a strange piece of pre-war tech locked in a metallic briefcase, he claims that it will provide everyone a real home someday if they can only keep it from falling into the wrong hands.


A WIP Play-by-Post style game run through Discord, it is based on the new Settlers guide's new settlement building rules with a lot of homebrew thrown in. Much like the old school MUDS in the 90s, it combines creative writing and an established system of rules to craft an evolving narrative without requiring a specific commitment of time. Designed to run with multiple Gamemasters, it is the perfect game for forever DMs and creative writers looking for an extra outlet to vent their ideas.
