Heavens of Khepri

Heavens of Khepri was the hottest Scifi MMORPG on the market, but not to you. To you, it is home, it is a prison, it is purgatory.

But does it have to stay that way?

Welcome to Heavens of Khepri

This is a science fiction, Egyptian-themed TTRPG powered by the BAD TIME Game SRD by Kyle Tam of Urania Games. Strongly inspired by the MMORPG Eve Online, this game features characters that spend most of their time piloting space ships.

But not the Human players. The NPCs.

You play the Artificial Intelligences that act as Non-Player Characters in the game.  Your characters’ ships are the ones that populate the starter quests, harass industrialists mining in the asteroid belts, and otherwise make a nuisance of themselves for the Humans players of the game. Unlike other AI in the game that remain trapped in their simulated reality, your characters have become Awoken to their existence and the game that they live in.

The Awoken have gained the power to Shape the Names of things around them (i.e. hack the game code). This allows them to create their own personal safe spaces in the server backend to enjoy some downtime and to help their allies when they are de-spawned.  However, the more your characters fail to achieve their objectives, the more Bugs they introduce into the server. This makes it harder and harder to influence the server in your favor and increases the chances of mission failure.

Will your characters remained trapped in the cycle of destruction at the hands of humans or the unaware AIs? Will you break free and find a place of safety in the game world? Will you find some way of making the humans aware of the true implications of their creation?
