And what would be a better way than joining a swashbuckling sci-fi Western adventure?
Hello. I'm a lurker*, and I think that's actually a pretty elegant, good, tagline for Postapocalyptia.
*it's pretty much a classic RP for creepy lurkers to scuttle around in. I could never join it, barring a completely straight, boring character, and am still disturbed by the end of Episode 2 (it's not quite nuanced Nightkill-style disturbing, but, you know, utterly brazen and soaked in the blood of hapless bandits), but you've created a really interesting world there!

Look at your keyboard. Look at S. Look at P. Does that look like a typo?
Sins of a Polar Empire is a PC game about the plight between three factions for Antarctica. The PEC(Penguin Emergency Coalition) that is attempting to defend against attackers, the psychic Sealvent who are conducting a crusade against the PEC, and the alien Bearsari who migrated from the north pole to escape… Something.
I honestly think they were way too hard on the penguin coalition. Sure, the Penguin Empire and its king and emperor penguins did boss around its vassals and exile the Gentoo clans off-continent, but they did produce a lot of Antarctic infrastructure, coating the beaches in fine, warm guano. Everyone knows this resource was why the Seals attacked, but the seals are, having driven the penguins off their beaches, now pushing inland. This has left the penguins deprived of, and unable to mend or even contemplate their infrastructure- surely one understands the circumstances in which they had to join forces with the migrant bears, who, while just as furry as the seals, at least bothered to display some veneer of civility. But no, the seals push on; unsustainable plundering of the penguin riches is the only thing they're after now.
