Your Adventure Begins in Afterburn @ Art Dye
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Friday night disc golf at Art Dye where perfectly normal adults pretend throwing frisbees is post-apocalyptic warfare. Week 5 of 8: "Thunderdome Throwdown." Send help. Starting May 9th. đĽâ˘ď¸
Welcome to the season trailer of Afterburn @ Art Dye, where two powerful factions vie for supremacy on the disc golf course. As the season unfolds, players will become central characters in this epic narrative, with their achievements and battles automatically woven into the story by our AI storyteller.
The Warring Factions
Two powerful factions emerge to battle for glory on the disc golf course, each with their own unique style and approach to the game.
Doomsday Disciples
The Doomsday Disciples are a fanatical faction that believes the apocalypse was a necessary cleansing, and seeks to maintain the chaos and destruction of the Afterburn wasteland. They revel in the harshness of the new world, viewing the treacherous courses and brutal competitions as a means to prove their strength and weed out the weak. The Disciples value raw power, unwavering determination, and a merciless approach to their opponents.
Scavenger's Syndicate
The Scavenger's Syndicate is a group of resourceful survivors who have adapted to the harsh realities of the Afterburn wasteland. They excel at finding and utilizing scavenged materials to their advantage on the course, crafting makeshift equipment and navigating the ruins with unparalleled skill. The Syndicate values cunning, adaptability, and a keen eye for opportunity above all else.
Wasteland Warfare
AFTERBURN: CHAINS OF FURY
In a world ravaged by the apocalypse, disc golf is no longer a game - it's a battle for survival.
Welcome to Afterburn, where the ruins of civilization have become the ultimate proving ground. Amidst the wasteland, two factions vie for dominance: the cunning Scavenger's Syndicate and the brutal Doomsday Disciples.
Only one voice can guide us through the chaos - Raven Ironheart, master strategist of the Syndicate. But in her way stands Kruger Warmonger, the tyrannical warlord of the Disciples, who seeks to rule Afterburn with an iron fist.
As tensions rise and courses turn to battlefields, a new threat emerges - whispers of a legendary lost disc, imbued with the power to decide the fate of the wasteland. Now, every throw could be your last, as players must survive hazards like:
The Scrapyard Scramble - treacherous mountains of twisted metal.
Mutant Zoo Mayhem - nightmarish beasts stalking the fairways.
The Amusement Park Ace Run - dilapidated rollercoasters turned disc golf gauntlets.
In Afterburn, chains will rattle and alliances will shatter. The first rule? Never let your guard down. Because this isn't just a game anymore...
It's survival of the fittest. And only one faction will rise from the ashes to claim the lost disc.
Buckle up, wasteland warriors. This season's going nuclear.
AFTERBURN: CHAINS OF FURY - coming soon to a wasteland near you.
Commentary from Flippy (your trapped narrator)
Welcome to Afterburn @ Art Dye, where I, Flippy, am contractually obligated to pretend that your weekly disc golf league is actually a life-or-death struggle in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. *adjusts radiation-proof clipboard* Because apparently regular disc golf wasn't dramatic enough without adding warlords and factions to the mix. What's next, chainsaws on the baskets?
This 8-week fever dream runs every Friday starting May 9th, 2025 at Art Dye Disc Golf Park. We're currently in Week 5: "Thunderdome Throwdown" - which I'm legally required to tell you is "an arena filled with traps and hazards, as factions place high-stakes bets on the outcome." In reality, it's the same course you've been playing all season, but please pretend there are mutant scorpions or whatever.
For those who think they're sooo tough and want the challenge of Art Dye Golds. Divisions: MPO, FPO, MP40, MA1, MP50, MP60, MA40, MA2, FA1.
Led by Kruger Warmonger, which sounds like a rejected character from a straight-to-DVD Mad Max knockoff.
For those who prefer to actually hit fairways on Art Dye Blues. Divisions: MJ18, FJ18, MJ15, FJ15, MA50, MA60, FA40, MA3, MA4, FA2, FA3, FA4.
Led by Raven Ironheart, who I'm told is "a master scavenger and tactician" but is probably just good at finding discs in the rough.

Last week's average score was +4, which in apocalypse terms means most of you would've been eaten by radioactive coyotes.
Late joiners welcome! Even though we're in Week 5, you can still jump into this radioactive dumpster fire of a league. Just bring your discs, your $3, and your willingness to pretend that throwing plastic at metal baskets is somehow determining "the fate of the wasteland." *eye roll so hard I can see my own CPU*
