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

Once a narrow, choked stretch of the Serpent’s Divide, the Trader’s Torrent now serves as a vital artery of barter and risk between the towering Citadel and the irradiated sprawl of the Solar Guardians. Barges cobbled from shipping crates and scavenged hulls drift slow and heavy, laden with water rations, tech scraps, and backdoor currency. Every shipment that flows down the Torrent fuels New Vance’s fragile economy—but it’s never a safe voyage. Raiders stalk the banks like vultures, and shambler sightings are growing near the northern bends. Even the Hydro Hegemony has begun levying silent tariffs on cargo that "crosses their flow." Still, it remains the city’s most crucial unofficial trade route—a floating gray market where factions trade what they can’t officially admit they need. Survivors whisper that if the Torrent dries up, the city’s veins will collapse with it.

Appearance

The Trader’s Torrent winds like a sluggish scar through cracked riverbanks and skeletal overpasses. Its surface is an oily mirror, reflecting rusted barges, makeshift sails, and flickering lanterns. Cargo creaks under tarp and chain as armed silhouettes keep watch from atop deck shacks, while towering ruins loom beyond the mist, half-swallowed by smog and sunlight.
