Overview
In 1899, a cataclysmic flood reshaped the world, submerging coastal cities and forcing survivors to adapt. New York City, once a bustling metropolis, is now a collection of independent City-States, each formed by distinct immigrant groups and former city workers. Players will step into this unique post-apocalyptic, steampunk world, where survival hinges on resourcefulness and navigating the complex relationships between these new factions.
The description paints a vivid picture of survival in a drastically altered New York. Italian immigrants established the Mano Nera City-State, while police and government officials formed the Tammany City-State.
These communities turned to the sea for sustenance and traded with the mysterious "Mainlanders" for essential resources like fresh water, pumped in through intricate pipe systems. This setting promises a rich narrative backdrop for an RPG experience.
