Are there some days when you wake up with a sudden urge to play as an illiterate mutant rat from a forgotten underground civilization trying to discover the secrets from their society and world? ...No? Well, me neither before I found the underground but now I do and so will you too!
TO THE UNDERWORLD
Underpunks is an oldschool tabletop rpg in text form using discord as game engine, it has quests and events on which player's decisions influence the world and story, interesting game mechanics that are constantly being expanded, a nft based economy and a vibrant community very keen on roleplaying!
Whether you're a Scrooge McDuck looking for riches, a theatre kid craving some good roleplay, a ttrpg fan searching for fun puzzles and dungeons or someone just trying to find an accessible entry to ttrpg and/or nft gaming, I'm certain you can find something to enjoy here.
To start playing, first you need a tool,you can buy one at Atomic Hub but your best way to get started and also the game main revenue is by pledging at their Patreon , where there are some great tiers which are worth the investment, from one tool each month to becoming a Noble with ownership of shires where fellow punks may work and share part of their loot with you.
(Edit: At the present moment there are no shires and T6 slots available) Also, patreons are able to see snippets of lore, early access to podcasts, game mechanics and quests!
In the future there will be a free to play option where you start as a worker in a shire using the referral code from a noble.
I'm (not) a dwarf and I'm digging a hole! 🎵🎶
You will probably start the game as a miner, working at the queen's quarry for better tools and valuables.
The game works on a timer system where after each action you need to wait the cooldown for your next action, this helps making the game manageable and avoid clustering chats and spam.
If you only want to p2e, you can stay at the quarry forever and just collect nfts, but if you want the full experience, you can verify your account proving you are not a bot and that's where the game truly begins.
After getting verified you can access the roleplaying channels, which includes guilds, events, quests and a never-ending supply of interesting interactions. Like any good rpg you can choose classes, train skills, venture into dungeons, fight other guilds and mess with the sociopolitical scenario of the underground. This can get messy fast but extremely rewarding.
Quests here aren't only the traditional "bring 12 dandelions to widow Jenkins" some are complex puzzles or dangerous fights, for example, to learn magic you first need to learn the lost alphabet of the UnderPunks using the lore and game tips!
Events are a big highlights in UnderPunks, the next one is a royal tour of the palace with the presence of the mighty and reclusive Queen, the guilds are going to be really busy, the guards patrolling and keeping both the queen and castle safe, the thieves will offer their own brand of protection to the queen, whatever that means.... wandering around eating cake and trying their best to be inconspicuous, the prison cells and the royal treasure room are in no danger whatsoever and the spies are planning a drag show to mesmerize the queen and get future privileges and information. All around very busy and lots of fun to everyone interested in partaking in the festivities!!
I may write a wall of text big enough to reach the overworld but it would still not make justice to this awesome game and community, it's one of the best games I played in recent times and it really scratched my craving for some top grade tabletop rpg. Do yourself a favor and check it out!
