THE SHAFT — A Nokriverse Supermax Scenario

Deep beneath the Appalachian mountains lies a prison that officially does not exist.

The Shaft is the highest-security supermax facility in the United States, built inside an abandoned mine complex so deep and isolated that even the world’s most dangerous criminals can disappear without a trace. Superhuman threats, monstrous villains, and people too dangerous for ordinary prisons are sent here.

Now, you are part of its ecosystem.

Will you enter The Shaft as a prisoner, fighting for survival among criminals, monsters, and legends? Or will you become a guard, trying to maintain order in a place where normal rules no longer apply?

The choice is yours.

Every decision changes your story. Multiple endings await from both the prisoner and guard perspectives. Build alliances, uncover secrets, survive the inmates, and discover what truly lives at the bottom of The Shaft.

Just remember...

The Shaft was built to hold monsters.

Sometimes, it creates them.

And if you don’t survive...

Giuseppe will make sure your suit is perfectly prepared before your final descent.

After all...

The Shaft was always your grave.

The Shaft is a location scenario from my Nokriverse, a superhero tabletop universe I created for my home campaigns. I wanted to bring one of my favorite villains to life first: Obee, a character I’ve always loved roleplaying. This is the first of many locations, heroes, villains, and stories I hope to expand within this universe.
