| Welcome to //Threshold//, the OURPGSoc Society Game for Michaelmas and Hilary terms, 2024/2025. This game takes place in a fictional afterlife - players will play as characters who have passed away on Earth with unfinished business and now inhabit a densely populated city block in a purgatorial threshold between this world and the next. Inhabitants of the Threshold are encouraged by government officials to use this time wisely, in order to facilitate their ascension to the next stage of existence. But the Threshold is also a place of great temptation - some lost souls spend all their time here pursuing vice in illegal Snake Dens: drinking, gambling, cheating, and squandering any hope of ascension. | Welcome to //Threshold//, the ORPGSoc Society Game for Michaelmas and Hilary terms, 2024/2025.

| Player characters will be expected to navigate this strange world of virtue and vice. Some may choose to focus on their personal development, righting the wrongs of their past and resolving their unfinished business, while others may succumb to their more self-destructive impulses. Characters will have to face issues of morality and redemption, of trust and secrecy, of life and death, and of the nature of eternity. | Player characters will be expected to navigate this strange world of virtue and vice.
