New Vance City

P
Pollution

New Vance City is a post-collapse RPG where survival means customizing everything—classes, skills, races, and gear are all unique. Set in 2070, a year after the world cracked and the infected rose, this cyberpunk dystopia pulses with story-rich factions, brutal politics, and unforgettable characters. Forge your path in a smog-choked ruin where the line between savior and syndicate blurs with every shot fired. Fight zombies, raiders, and mutated creatures and test your survival in New Vance City!


Author's Note: The year is 2070, one year after the Collapse. The place? New Vance City. Skeletal remains of skyscrapers pierce the smog-choked sky. Patches of overgrown desert flora claw at cracked asphalt. Inside, survivors try to make the best of their fragile existence, repurposing solar panels and scavenging for supplies. Kids growing up in this hell hole play amongst the ruins of the city, their laughter a thin, hopeful melody that just isn't strong enough to pierce through the grim ambiance of the city. Life here is filled with nothing but scarcity and fear. Every creak in the night, every flicker in the solar grid, every hum or buzz... It's all enough to send shivers down your spines. Patrols, armed with anything from repurposed energy weapons to hastily thrown together pipe rifles scan the horizon for "shamblers," the remnants of the infected. Yet amidst the hardship, the community is still blooming. New Vance City still stands, at least for now. A flickering candle in the encroaching darkness of a world forever changed.

Description

During the Collapse, a Gear Rat chemical refinery chain-reacted into ruin—boiling tanks burst, reactors fractured, and the entire facility crumpled into a fused, toxic ruin. Locals call it the “Chem Zone,” though few speak of it willingly. The air shimmers with caustic vapor, and the ground itself simmers with fluorescent runoff that bubbles through cracked concrete and rust-veined steel. Those who venture too close find their lungs burning and skin blistering from airborne corrosives. Even the Gear Rats, hardened as they are, steer clear—too many scavvers went in chasing reactor cores and came out mutated or mad. Crystal Wretches breed here in clusters, feeding on irradiated residue, while rare horrors like Caustic Crawlers and Fume-Bloated Brutes stalk the tangled wreckage. The zone itself hums with residual energy and violent instability, a living monument to New Vance’s industrial arrogance. Every step is a gamble between riches and rot.

Appearance

A choked labyrinth of melted girders and ruptured pipelines, drenched in sickly green and sulfuric yellow hues. Steam jets hiss from cracked valves, while acid puddles reflect the broken skyline, and half-dissolved scaffolds loom like skeletal fingers over the warped industrial hellscape.
