BLEAKFALLS
A MEDIEVAL FANTASY ROLEPLAY PROJECT
BleakFalls began with an ambitious vision: to bring a darker medieval fantasy experience to RedM, where kingdoms rise, ancient secrets remain buried, and the supernatural exists alongside ordinary life.
Inspired by worlds like The Elder Scrolls, The Witcher, Blood Of The Dawnwalker, and Game of Thrones, BleakFalls is being developed around medieval society, political ambition, deep lore, and character-driven storytelling.
From the blacksmith building a reputation to the Jarl governing a settlement, from the hunter venturing into dangerous territory to the vampire creating there own empire, every character should have a place in the world.
THE FOUNDATION IS BEING BUILT
BleakFalls is currently in its early stages of development. There is still considerable work ahead, and we want to be transparent about that.
Our development blueprint includes:
-
A medieval reimagining of the RDR2 map, with custom structures and locations.
-
Custom UI and systems designed around the setting.
-
A player-driven economy with meaningful civilian occupations and crafting.
-
Kingdoms, settlements, leadership, and opportunities for political roleplay.
-
Supernatural systems involving vampires, werewolves, mages, dark mages, and more to come.
-
Deep lore surrounding the cataclysm.
-
Exploration, encounters, and future expansions shaped by what works best for the community.
These are development goals, not a claim that every feature is already complete. Our priority is to build a cohesive experience where systems support roleplay rather than distract from it.
The vision is ambitious. Getting the foundations right comes first.
DEATH SHOULD MEAN SOMETHING
We are considering a permadeath system for qualifying PvP encounters, giving combat consequences beyond simply losing a fight.
Permadeath can create tension, encourage negotiation, and make victories and losses more meaningful. However, it can also discourage players from taking risks or cause frustration when a character with significant development is lost.
We want consequences without making players afraid to participate in roleplay. The qualifying circumstances, safeguards against abuse, and final percentages will need careful consideration before implementation.
BECOME A BLEAKFALLS SETTLER
Every project has an early chapter. We want people involved in ours.
Pioneers will help test available systems, identify issues, provide constructive feedback, and contribute to refining BleakFalls before its wider release.
Early access means experiencing an evolving project, not a finished product. Patience, curiosity, and a willingness to help improve the experience are what matter most.
If you want to help shape BleakFalls before its world is fully established, this is where you can begin.
CONTENT CREATORS
BleakFalls has the potential to create stories that extend far beyond the game itself. Kingdom rivalries, political intrigue, supernatural mysteries, and character-driven conflicts offer opportunities for streamers, video creators, and aspiring storytellers.
We’re interested in connecting with creators of all sizes who want to develop their content within the community. As the project grows, we hope to encourage collaboration, visibility, and opportunities for creators to grow alongside BleakFalls.
You don’t need a massive audience. Creativity, consistency, and a genuine interest in storytelling matter more.
HELP BUILD BLEAKFALLS
An ambitious project needs people who can help bring it to life.
We’re interested in connecting with:
-
Staff and moderators who value maturity, fairness, and community health.
-
Mappers and world builders with experience in map editing, custom structures, and environmental design.
-
Lore and roleplay contributors who want to help develop the world’s history.
-
Community organizers and creators who can help grow the project and its audience.
Experience is welcome, but reliability, communication, and a genuine commitment to the project matter just as much.
If you have skills that could help turn this vision into something tangible, we’d like to hear from you.
THE BEGINNING IS YOURS TO SHAPE.
BleakFalls has a long way to go. There will be challenges, revisions, and lessons along the way. We aren’t going to pretend otherwise.
What we have is a clear direction, an original world to develop, and the ambition to build something that can grow beyond its beginnings.
We’re looking for people who want to be part of that process, whether by testing, creating, developing, or simply becoming one of the first characters to call this world home.
