Join the High Guard
Bring curiosity, respect, and a willingness to be part of the crew.
The High Guard is an Australia/New Zealand-led sci-fi gaming guild for players who want organised operations without turning gaming into a second job. We use light milsim structure, shared lore, and clear command roles to make events easier to run and more memorable to play.
Who fits here
You will probably fit if you:
play science fiction games and like team objectives;
prefer reliable crew over random chaos;
can follow an operation lead during organised events;
want structure, but not boot-camp theatre;
understand that real life comes first;
can handle jokes, losses, mistakes, and learning without becoming a problem.
What we offer
ANZ-friendly gaming nights and voice coordination.
Active theatres across space, ground, fleet, and co-op games.
Branch identity through the Argosy, Espatiers, Starfighter/Aether, Orbital Guard, and Colonial Guard.
A permanent World Anvil archive for handbooks, operations, lore, news, ranks, and references.
Light milsim ranks, awards, and appointments where they help organise the guild.
A living Commonwealth setting that gives operations a story beyond the game lobby.
What we expect
Respect other members and visitors.
Follow event leads during organised operations.
Keep drama, harassment, griefing, and toxic politics out of the guild.
Do not use rank, branch, lore, or staff access to boss people around outside approved duties.
Ask for help when you need it; give help when you can.
