LokDown

LokDown is an Anime-inspired expansion to Carbyne Jungle. When the Luminous Dawn Colony Fleet landed on an alien world, survival seemed impossible. With half the world frozen and the other half scorched, they set out to carve a home along the Eventide Steppe: the thin strip of land that was their only chance of survival. Adapting their own bodies to survive, Luminous Dawn made a new home out of the world they called LokDown. Now their descendants are spreading across the planet, investigating the lost cultures hidden beneath the planet's surface, making their mark upon the world. LokDown has Begun.

Nor Cal Mythos Entertainment (NCM) is a small gaming/literature company based out of the city of Salinas, California (although we do have a small satellite in Fort Wayne, Indiana) and the makers of the Tri-Forge gaming system and its setting, the Carbyne Jungle. While we have a few, our core value is the betterment of the world through good gaming and good stories. We believe that stories are the lifeblood of not just our society, but of civilization itself. A cheesy mentality perhaps, but we believe stories bind us together and allows us to explore and celebrate both our similarities and our differences with each other. It is our hope at NCM that our roleplaying gaming system, Tri-Forge, and our corresponding stories will create great, personal moments for players and allow for the free, self-expression that is the cornerstone of our business culture at NCM.

Nor Cal Mythos Press Kit

Nor Cal Mythos Entertainment is an indie gaming/literature company based out of the city of Salinas, California. Founded in 2019, our first product, Carbyne Jungle, is a new tabletop role-playing game built on the entirely new Tri-Forge game engine. Set in a rich Sci-Fi Fantasy universe, Carbyne Jungle has a unique advancement system, 3 rulesets that can play side by side, and entertaining combat and non-combat gameplay. Carbyne Jungle is available now on Drive Thru RPG and Amazon.

In 2020, NCM released the Mission Decks, a gaming supplement for the Carbyne Jungle system and also a version using the OGL of dungeons and dragons, fifth edition. Both use decks to allow parties to go through dungeons, level their characters, and explore storylines with or without a dungeon master/game master.

LokDown Press Kit

LokDown is an upcoming tabletop role-playing game created by Nor Cal Mythos Entertainment. LokDown is built as an expansion to the Carbyne Jungle gaming system, but is also designed to work as a stand-alone game. LokDown will be released as two books: A player's guide with everything a player needs to enjoy the game, and a separate Game Master's guide with expanded information about the world, mythology, and a prebuilt campaign.

The world of LokDown is an Anime-Inspired setting, designed to allow tables to enjoy elements from their favorite anime stories. The system is designed in a rich Sci-Fantasy world. Optional rulesets are included for tables to adjust the game to match the setting they want, including different time periods, technology levels, or anime styles included Shonen, Mecha, Cyberpunk Noir, or others.

Storyline Summary: When the Luminous Dawn Colony Fleet landed on an alien world, survival seemed impossible.

Now their descendants are spreading across the planet, investigating the lost cultures hidden beneath the planet's surface, making their mark upon the world. LokDown has Begun.

Carbyne Jungle Press Kit

With Carbyne Jungle, we took every RPG we loved, tore them down to the bones, and looked at what makes tabletop RPGs so amazing. We started with a skeleton of what makes a great gaming experience, added some muscle, fashion sense, hardware, topped it off with a semi-unhinged personality, and threw the switch.

Set thousands of years into a distant future, Carbyne Jungle combines elements of Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Noir, and Horror, into a rich gaming experience. Built on the Tri-Forge Engine, Carbyne Jungle has three styles of gameplay, customizable for beginners through advanced players, so whoever is at the table can jump into the game.

The setting is both in-depth and flexible allowing a GM to dive right into the universe, forge their own world, or anywhere in between. With phenomenal battles, meaningful non-combat conflicts, and an incredibly flexible advancement system, Carbyne Jungle is the game you’ve been waiting for.
