One-shot idea (hexbear.net)

Players walk in to prefilled character sheets. Their characters are all peons in a battle that’s about to commence. Every time they die, they raise in rank and in level. They retain the memories they’ve gained while being other people and can choose which army to side with when they enter their next body.

Individual players choosing sides could get messy fast, but it sounds like an interesting idea. Paizo are doing something akin with one of their next adventures, with the players spending the first chapter as low level refugees, then soldiers in the war in the second chapter, then high level knights defeating the source of the war in the final chapter.

What is the name of that adventure? Are the characters the same with a time jump or different characters?

Claws of the Tyrant, and it's different characters for each. Also I was wrong about it being upcoming, it released last month.

Tabletop Rpg posts, content, and recruitment posts.

Recruitment posts should contain what system is being played, CW for any adult/serious themes players need to be aware of and whether a game is beginner friendly.

An obvious reminder of no racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia and transphobia.

Emphasis on small independent rpgs like the ones in the TTRPGs for Trans Rights in Texas but not against dnd stuff.
