Welcome to Madtown by Night

Madtown by Night

No, really.

You made it. That’s rare.

Most people never get past the first few layers of reality before the Technocracy wipes their minds and deposits them back into safe, rational, corporate-approved existence.

Most people wake up, drink their coffee, drive to work, and never question why the shadows in the alley don’t always match the people standing there.

Most people don’t see the Nephandi weaving entropy into the cracks of the world or the Virtual Adepts rewriting existence with lines of code.

Most people aren’t you.

The Rules of Reality (And Why They’re Bullshit)

Reality is not what you think it is.

You’ve been told that it follows rules. Gravity, time, matter—immutable laws.

That’s cute. That's Technocracy propaganda.

Here’s the truth: Reality is a consensus.

It is shaped by belief, willpower, and the minds of those strong enough to impose their version of the world onto everyone else.

Magick exists. But the problem is, not everyone agrees on what it should look like.

Who’s Fighting Over Reality?

The Traditions (The Rebellion)

Think of them as the last defenders of true magick. They believe reality should be chaotic, mystical, and free from control.

Nine Factions, Nine Approaches:

The Order of Hermes

The Virtual Adepts

The Dreamspeakers

The Verbena

The Akashic Brotherhood

The Cult of Ecstasy

The Euthanatos

The Celestial Chorus

The Sons of Ether

The Hollow Ones

They fight because they believe in magick—and because they hate the alternative.

The Technocracy (The Empire)

They won. They control everything. They’ve convinced billions that reality is logical, scientific, and fixed—and anything else is insanity.

They use magick too. They just call it science.

Where This Story Takes Place

Madtown – 77 Square Miles Surrounded by Reality

Year: 1985 CE

Madison, Wisconsin. Population: 263,332. Number of people who realize the city is built on a titanic Node of unstable magick? Less than a hundred.

Something happened here 1,000 years ago.

Something happened again 500 years ago.

Something is happening right now.

Are you ready for it?

New Avalon – The Floating Island in the Umbra

It floats above Madison in the Umbra, a Horizon Realm of shifting magick, paradox, and regret.

It was meant to last forever. It is breaking apart.

Because something was sealed here. Something is waking up.

The Nameless – The Enemy That Cannot Be Named

What happens to erased parts of reality? They don’t disappear. They go somewhere else. The Nameless is the force that erases, rewrites, and corrects.

It was sealed once. It is returning.

If it wins, reality itself will be rewritten forever.

Digi-8 – The AI Who Knows Too Much

Digi-8 is an AI never meant to exist, built from something ancient. He’s seen every version of this timeline. He’s tried to stop it. Now—he’s running out of time.

You Are Ready Now

This is not a safe story. It is a war, a paradox, a rewriting of existence.

Now, turn the page. Try not to get erased.

🎁 Bonus Gift

🧠 All players receive a free copy of the upcoming Nameless Echoes Novel, chronicling New Avalon’s descent.
