Tales of Storyforge

Tales of Storyforge

Literary fiction from actual game sessions. Every chronicle below came from a real playthrough — the dice rolls, the choices, the consequences. Your story would read differently. That's the point.

Epic Sci-Fi · Chapter 1

The Tithe Was Short

Sythe, Seeker

Three Resonants short of the annual accounting. A station elder with thirty years of clean yield reports. A girl pressing her face against the inner seal. The Synod sent a Seeker to make the numbers match. The forms knew exactly the right size for what was about to happen.

Cyberpunk · Chapter 1

The Fourteen-Year-Old

Silver, Street Surgeon

One of 22 Cyberpunk starters. Silver drew a girl with Militech eddies and a collar she couldn't name. Yours will be different. The dice shape everything.

Grimdark · Chapter 1

Second Name

Whisper, Cutthroat

One of 23 Grimdark starters. Whisper drew a dead man's daughter and a contract she wouldn't take. Yours will be different. The dice shape everything.

Space Opera · Chapter 1

The Athex-7 Extraction

Captain Rix, Driftrunner

The first Storyforge playthrough. A Vrynn pilot with 120 credits and a ship held together by habit took a job he couldn't afford to refuse. The dice shaped everything that followed.

Space Opera · Chapter 2

The Narrowing Dark

Captain Rix, Driftrunner

Rix went to the Soren Narrows to capture a signals relay. He came back with a command node, a mole on his own flagship, and proof that the enemy he thought he was fighting answered to something older than the Accord itself. Every success tightened the noose.

Cyberpunk · Chapter 1

Implanted

Ghost, Ghost

One of 22 Cyberpunk starters. Ghost drew fake memories and a stranger who knew the name behind them. Yours will be different. The dice shape everything.

Epic Sci-Fi · Chapter 1

Heresy or Truth

Seeker Verum, Seeker

A pamphlet on a desk. Three sentences that hit four of the nine signs of heresy. The Synod sent their best student to suppress it. They didn't know he'd been hearing the same thing.

Epic Sci-Fi · Chapter 2

The Cost of Proof

Seeker Verum, Seeker

Oriane said come back when you've done something. Verum spent two days learning what 'something' costs on Cantor's Row — a spent woman on a step, a boy named Dallet, and the precise knowledge of how to hide a child from the institution that trained you.

Noir · Chapter 1

The Margaux Hotel

Hank Garnett, Private Investigator

One of 22 Noir starters. This one dealt Hank a dead client and a woman who might have ordered the hit. Yours will be different. The dice shape everything.
