This is a Rolemaster Actual Play using both Discord and Tabletop Simulator. Rolemaster is a "crunchy" tabletop roleplaying game from which started in the 1980s

“Ain’t no place for a Hero” is a campaign set in the World of Duranarki, The Continent of Men, a homebrew setting.

The "Ain’t no place for a Hero" campaign started in July 2020 as an online campaign. The first recording of this campaign and subsequent posting to YouTube, took place in December 2022 - January 2023, along with the “Twilight of the Old Order” party. The first recorded episode was Episode 60 of "Ain’t no place for a Hero".

The game system used in our game is Rolemaster 2nd Edition/Classic, with a very liberal inclusion of home rules.

ABOUT THE SETTING:

World of Duranarki, The Continent of Men;

It is a time of high international tension, particularly between the three major world powers; The Kingdom of Thrayce, The Empire of Thamazaul & the Confederation of the Sarn Kush.

While, humans predominate both other species also clamour and strive to make their mark in this tired, war torn land.

In this gritty, cut throat, world, politics, religion and commerce reign supreme. Characters need to be both smart and ruthless to survive.

This setting is a labour of love for myself, Chris (aka GM Chance), having been started in ~1992 and worked on ever since.
