LEGACY OF THE HORIZON CAREERS

Kuykendall Industries Browser TTRPG

What Is Legacy of the Horizon?

Legacy of the Horizon is a browser-based living galaxy platform for tabletop RPG. It is not a virtual tabletop. It is not a PDF with a character builder bolted on. It is a single-surface, canvas-rendered 2.5D/3D galaxy map where the entire game lives — characters, campaigns, factions, economies, starships, guided adventures, real-time session play, and 420,000+ words of original science fiction lore built over eleven years.

The galaxy runs on a deterministic faction engine — no dice at the macro layer. Factions move based on state, not randomness. Players influence the galaxy through play. Galaxy Masters curate outcomes. The economy breathes with galactic conditions. Starships refit in real time. Campaigns fork into parallel timelines. Fog-of-Lore and Fog-of-Exploration restore genuine discovery to digital tables. Guided modules write directly into campaign canon. Everything happens on one screen.

Legacy of the Horizon is a Kuykendall Industries project. The lore, the systems, the spec — all built by one person. The platform needs a team.

How to Apply

Send an email with the role title in the subject line and "LoTH" somewhere visible. Include what you've built — not managed, not overseen — and why this role on this project at this stage. A link to anything you've shipped, published, or created. Do not send a cover letter. Do not send a generic resume.

Meet the qualifications, or show us what you've built. Either path works. Both paths demand excellence.
