Fan fiction RPG: play in a world you love

How fan fiction plays in Orpheus

You don't pick from a list of licensed settings. You describe the world the way you'd pitch it to a friend: where it is, how it works, who matters, and when in the story you want to arrive. The game master builds from what you wrote.

Choose your way in. Play before the story you know, during it, or after it ends. Be someone who was there, or someone new that the original never noticed: a guard, a rival, the person who cleans up after the heroes.

Tell the game master what has to stay true. Say how the magic or the technology works and which events are fixed, and the world keeps to it: it bends to your ideas, within its own rules. Leave things open and the story is free to go where the original didn't.

It plays as a game, not a retelling. Risky actions call for a dice roll, people remember how you treated them, and nothing forces the ending you remember. A favorite character can refuse you. A villain can win a round.

Using other people's characters and settings lawfully is up to you, and a few things are never allowed in any story. The Content & Safety Policy has the details.
