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

The year is 2070—just one year after the Collapse of 2069 shattered the world. New Vance City stands as a grim monument to survival, its fractured skyline carved by ruin and desperation. Once a thriving metropolis, it now chokes on smog and silence. The Collapse brought infection, economic ruin, and the death of nations; in its wake, New Vance clawed itself back into relevance with barter economies and brute force. Factions like the authoritarian Citadel Council, militarized Solar Guardians, water-hoarding Hydro Hegemony, and chaotic Gear Rats wage silent war for control. Meanwhile, cults, raiders, and unaligned survivors haunt the city’s dead zones and shadows. Every flickering light and whispered prayer signals both defiance and decay. New Vance isn’t rebuilding—it’s adapting. Amid scarcity, fear, and flickers of hope, the city persists—a last, gasping ember in a world gone dark.

Appearance

New Vance City looms in fractured silhouette—skeletal skyscrapers wrapped in haze, solar panels blinking over cracked highways, and towers laced with cables, graffiti, and rust. The streets below are a labyrinth of debris and barricades, lit by dying neon and gutter-fires. Every wall is a canvas of faction tags or warning sigils. It is a city both rotting and wired for survival, equal parts scrapyard and siege fortress.
