✶ WELCOME TO THE EDGE. . .
108 EM is all about layers! intricate lore and nuanced dynamics that make the game as sandboxy and modular as possible. it's slow paced, as we want it to be manageable for people with busy lives, who get satisfaction out of writing and growing alongside a character-driven narrative.
as a result, overseers take the place of admins and moderators, and are the main and only support in keeping this game running. if you like exploring and expanding deep lore, and managing systems to bring out the best in yourself and your fellow writers, this role is for you!
i’m looking for [6] overseers who can:
[break]
— commit to a long-term game that unfolds over time.
— a willingness to collaborate as a team and evolve the world dynamically based on player actions.
— love deep lore that allows for a myriad of stories and scenarios to develop every season.
— are excited to work with homebrew mechanics and are comfortable with gdocs, spreadsheets and discord!
— can create clear, concise reference materials for players if needed, and can keep track of relationships, timelines, and worldbuilding details as a team.
