What is Jacmus Prime?

Jacmus Prime is a medieval fantasy text based role play community. Much of the role-playing takes place in our Chat Rooms. The execution of the game (through popular consensus) is similar to free form story telling, though there are some loose textual and combat guidelines to promote fairness. The style of play is developed through improvised writing with Players taking the part of characters.

Background Reading

To understand how the world of Jacmus Prime began, the story of the God Wars is a must read. The story narrates how Jacmus Prime came to fall from its peak of glorified powers and overcrowded civilisations to a chaotic, yet simpler life where magic is hard to find.

If you're looking for inspiration or are curious to know more of what this whole deal of fantasy is about, then the original Forward to Jacmus Prime will head you in the right direction.

Choice is highly regarded in our community.

Players and their characters have the choice to create their own story, to make their own decisions. In this, we allow our Players to choose what is acceptable in role-play and what isn't.
