Seemingly upon providence, the city of Olympia, California was built and established over centuries, located in place of what would be known to another universe as Los Angeles. And, with the passage of time, it proved to be the true city of dreams; the city not of angels, but of new gods. Now, as carved into stone, all paths of our fallen would lead here. Y2K.
New Gods is an original, IPB hosted, fantasy role-playing game with a throwback twist, bringing elements from Greek Mythology into the contemporary world of the new millennium, year 2000. Set in a city/county based on Los Angeles, California (here known as Olympia, California), New Gods combines a world of seedy, heavy, fast-paced West coast life and core Greek mythological credo to create a surreal, dream-like story, with strong soap opera/melodrama elements. Inspired by dark, subversive cult classics of the late 90s and early 00s (Donnie Darko, Fight Club, Mulholland Drive, Lost Highway, Vanilla Sky, Eyes Wide Shut, Dark City and The Matrix), the 90s/early 00s trend of taking classic, romantic literature and adapting it for the “MTV Generation” (Romeo + Juliet, Cruel Intentions, Clueless, She's All That and 10 Things I Hate About You), modern science fiction and fantasy series (American Gods, Lucifer, The Leftovers, Sense8 and Lost), the work of Neil Gaiman (The Sandman) and general millennial nostalgia.
