A silent, signal-driven writing game fueled by music and imagination, played live on Discord.
Signal: 001
The Queen is compromised—a shallow husk of her former self, haunted by the Nightmares that once only troubled her sleep. No one can see them but her. Tonight she sleeps in the throne room as the shadows fall...
Ruling the Nation is a no-talking, no-camera, music-fueled worldbuilding session designed to inspire fast, flavorful writing. Each track, called a Signal, comes with a unique prompt, and players have the duration of the song to write their response. Whether you're here to write, worldbuild, or just vibe with the music, all are welcome to tune in and tap into the broadcast.

Transmissions broadcast live on Discord every Wednesday at 8 PM EST.
Each broadcast, called a Transmission, is about 30 minutes long.
The broadcast begins around 7:50 PM EST with a static-filled search for a clear Signal so you know it’s about to start.
Join the 📡┃broadcast-booth stage to listen to the live set.
When you hear the radio switching stations, the first Signal (track) is about to begin, followed by the prompt.
Don’t disconnect from the Stage, but switch over to the 💾┃signal-thread channel and write your replies before the next Signal starts.
Repeat until the transmission ends—about 30 minutes in total.
No voice. No camera. Just music, writing, and vibes.
