ASCENDANT: SHADOWS OF THE MAKER
(Open to all players — no prior knowledge required.)
Something strange is happening in the city.
New superpowered individuals are appearing — not born with gifts, not triggered by trauma, but made.
Engineered. Manufactured.
And whoever is behind it is getting bolder.
Rumours spread of a hidden facility somewhere beneath the industrial district.
Of missing people returning with impossible abilities.
Of a mysterious benefactor funding experiments no one will admit exist.
The authorities are overwhelmed.
The public is terrified.
And the heroes — established or brand new — are the only ones willing to step into the shadows and uncover the truth.
In this story‑game, you’ll play a hero standing at the edge of a conspiracy that could reshape the world.
You’ll face unstable supers, corrupted science, and a threat that grows smarter every time you survive it.
You don’t need to have played the previous arc.
All you need is a character, a spark of courage, and the willingness to ask one question:
If someone out there is making supers…
what do they want to make next?
In this game we are not overly obsessed with canon.
You can adopt a known character, or create your own.
We will build the game together.
Many Storium games slow down after the first couple of scenes…. this game is designed to be 2-3 scenes long, with the opportunity to continue in a sequel for those who wish to…
For this story, we are especially encouraging players to develop the interaction and teambuilding between characters.
This story is a sequel … but you will be told everything you need to know if you are joining fresh…
