The Song was our enemy, a memetic virus which indoctrinated its victims into the Great Choir. The Songspread like a galactic cancer and overran the defenses of our multi-species Galactic Union. The Earth was scorched, Martian domes cracked, and the Belt was broken.
Millions of survivors fled our ruined homeworlds on the Exodus Fleet. We developed a terrible memetic weapon to strike back at the Great Choir. Now the song is dormant and we have a chance to rebuild on the frontier world of Polvo.
We'll never be able to replace what we've lost, but at least the millions of survivors have a chance for a new beginning. You play survivors, protectors, believers, and dreamers who refused to surrender.
After the War is a game of memetic horror, where even your own mind can betray you. It's a tabletop roleplaying game of community, trauma, and healing, where players learn how to lead with compassion.
