The year is 1885.

The Gilded Age is a cornucopia filled with nectar and ambrosia for the dauntless who seize the day. Boston revels in the prosperity found in the shine of its renaissance. Engines roar, carriages roll and constructions rise faster than nature – everyone speaks of the industrial revolution conquering the New World frontier.

But beneath the brilliance, the city is strained with the waves of immigrants seeking a better life. The wealth inequality grows as the old and new upper class fight for influence who cling on tradition and progress respectively. This facade of security and order is thin – if one looks closely.

Gaslight flickers and the harbor whispers of eldritch horrors beneath the sea. The newspapers refuse to print on secret societies and occult rituals, and policemen do not investigate the secrets hidden in the alleys. Parallel to the daylight society, something else congregates after dusk, referred to as The Shade.

Paroxysm is a playable early-alpha text-based multiplayer RPG (a MUD).

A modern supernatural dystopia. The gates to Hell opened. Almost half of humanity died. The gates closed. What remains lives under the Cortex — a world government built on surveillance, containment, and control. Player-led societies form in the wreckage. The supernatural is real. Under the Cortex, humanity endures.

Systems are unfinished, bugs exist, and the world is still forming. We are building it in the open with our players.

Gloaming, Indiana is a former quarry town built over converging leylines, where fog settles over Victorian neighborhoods and something supernatural lives just beneath the surface. Witches wield volatile magic. Vampires hold old grudges. Dragons remember the sky they lost. Fae refugees have settled in the mundane realm as well, and even dream-born Oneiri now walk the waking world under the terms of a tenuous bargain.

Months after black rain and violent tremors tore the town apart, rebuilding continues under a carefully managed story. Most residents remember the fear, but not the why. The Sanctum Concordat has tightened control. As with many supernatural events throughout history, the truth of what happened has been deliberately suppressed.

Gloaming survived. That doesn’t mean the town is safe.

Carpe Noctem is a plot-forward modern supernatural RP focused on gothic atmosphere, conspiracies, and character-driven stories with lasting consequences.

Help rebuild the town. Exploit the cracks. Investigate what everyone else forgot.

Come for the monsters. Stay for the fallout.

14 playable species. 25+ writers only. No word count. Profile application. Original characters. Sitewide and member-led plots. Fresh events every quarter.

Seize the night—before it seizes you.
