GRAND STORIES INTERNATIONAL ROLEPLAY
An entire city working as one chain: every word, every shipment, every call and every decision leaves a trace. Here, the story is written by the people who live it.
Languages
One city, many languages.
Many languages share the same street. You write in yours; everyone nearby reads in theirs. Translation is automatic, made per recipient, while each character’s name, colors and formatting stay untouched.

The same conversation, in two languages Whoever writes in English is read in Portuguese.
- You write
In your language, your way: speech, /me and /do.
- The server translates
Instantly, for everyone within voice range.
- Everyone reads in theirs
Character names, colors and formatting stay intact.
Menus and interfaces
The whole game follows the chosen language, and scripts recognize the language of whoever uses them.
Forum
30+ languages, with the interface and posts translated automatically.
911 and terminals
The AI operator and the agencies’ tablets understand many languages.
The writer always sees their own original text. And because speech has range, the translation only reaches those who are actually listening.
Someone in front of you says:
“Boa noite, oficial. Posso ver o seu distintivo?”
“Good evening, officer. May I see your badge?”
“Buenas noches, oficial. ¿Puedo ver su placa?”
« Bonsoir, agent. Puis-je voir votre insigne ? »
“Buonasera, agente. Posso vedere il suo distintivo?”
«Добрый вечер, офицер. Можно посмотреть ваш жетон?»
“สวัสดีตอนเย็นครับ เจ้าหน้าที่ ขอดูเหรียญตราของคุณได้ไหมครับ”
“안녕하세요, 경관님. 배지를 좀 볼 수 있을까요?”
“İyi akşamlar memur bey. Rozetinizi görebilir miyim?”

A phone that depends on the city
A SIM with PIN and PUK, a carrier and plans, a number with an area code and a network of towers covering Los Santos and Blaine County. No SIM or no signal means no call: communication is part of the logistics too.

One world. Many languages. One shared story.
The focus
The story comes first.
Grand Stories is a heavy text roleplay server. Everything your character does has to exist in the narrative: every gesture is described, every line of speech has a range, and every choice has consequences.
There is no shortcut between what you want and what your story allows. The server does not hand out finished endings: it provides a consistent world — with law, economy, communication and risk — so that characters build the rest.
Text above all
Actions and speech are written. /me describes, /do sets the scene and your voice has physical range. Imagination is the engine; the interface just keeps up.
A world that remembers
Documents, accounts, phones and records persist. What you do today shows up tomorrow: in a file, in a bank account, in an investigation.
Real consequences
Crimes are investigated, sentences are served, characters grow and can meet definitive endings through narrative decisions.

The chain
Everything moves in a chain.
A person becomes a character. The character gets resources. Resources circulate. Value becomes power. Power meets the law. Each link depends on the one before and feeds the next — that continuity is what makes the city a world instead of a backdrop.
Origin
Everyone starts from a file: name, appearance, documents and a past written by you. The city knows you by what is on paper — and expects the paper and the story to agree.
- Character creation
- Documents
- Appearance
Voice and message
Information travels by voice range and by phone. Whoever is far away cannot hear; whoever has no SIM or signal cannot call. Every conversation depends on being in the right place with the right means.
- RP chat
- Own phone system
- Automatic translation
Items and materials
What exists lives in the inventory, with weight, space and origin. Items combine, transform and change hands; doors lock, properties store, and nothing appears out of nowhere.
- Inventory
- Item crafting
- Doors and properties
Vehicles and routes
Nothing arrives on its own. Vehicles burn fuel, take damage and cross the map between Los Santos and Blaine County. The vehicle’s condition changes what the cargo is worth — and how much attention it draws.
- Vehicles
- Fuel
- Routes
Money and skill
Work and risk become money in a bank account; practice becomes skill. There is a legal economy and a clandestine one, and the two touch constantly: the more you do, the more the world responds.
- Banking
- Skills
- Legal and illegal economy
Law and investigation
Police, sheriffs and federal agencies trace the chain — from the car to the account, from the conversation to the address — with records, warrants and a dedicated data terminal. Investigating means following the links, one by one.
- Police and sheriffs
- MDT terminal
- Warrants
Judgment and fate
A fine, timed detention, a trial and, at the limit, the end of a character. The chain closes where the story decides — and starts again with whoever is left.
- Courts
- Penal system
- Character end (CK)
In practice
One action. Two sides.
See how a single shipment crosses the server: on one side, those who move it; on the other, those who try to follow it.
The route
- ContractA contact offers the job: what to fetch and where.
- PickupLocate the target and retrieve it without drawing attention.
- TransportCross the city. Every hit to the vehicle lowers what it is worth.
- TransformationDismantle, combine, convert: the material becomes something else.
- PaymentThe value lands in an account — and now exists for anyone investigating.
The law
- ReportA witness, an alarm, a phone call.
- InvestigationRecords, plates, accounts and conversations become leads.
- WarrantOnly with probable cause and a judge’s signature.
- ArrestDetention, booking and a sentence set by law.
- TrialDefense, prosecution and a decision that goes on record.
Every route leaves a trace. Every trace leads to someone.
Custom systems
Built from the inside, for those who write.
Slow pace, deep investigations and realistic civilian life, with no out-of-character (OOC) talk.
FIB federal terminal
Each department gets a purpose-built tablet. The FIB’s brings together the registry of citizens and vehicles, facial recognition and the criminal network. LSSD and LAPD come next.
911 with artificial intelligence
An AI answers 911, understands the caller’s language and logs the report; dispatch confirms that units are on their way.
Law & Order
The law has weight, and it is written down.
San Andreas has its own Constitution and Penal Code, open to players, officers and lawyers — with a Traffic Code on the way. Every crime has a class, a fixed penalty and a clear limit. Nobody has to guess what applies.
No jail. Fine up to $1,000.
Detention of up to 1 hour.
Up to 24 hours in jail and a fine of up to $10,000.
Fines from $10,000, up to $1,000,000 through a judicial process and staff review.
Life imprisonment
Life imprisonment is only possible after a full judicial trial. Outside it, the maximum for a felony remains 24 hours.
Constitution
The State, rights, powers and the map of San Andreas — county by county.
Penal Code
Crimes classified by title, with fixed penalties and quick search.
Traffic Code
Rules of the road, equipment and licensing — under construction.
Warrants and courts
Every warrant goes through a judge; every accusation through a trial.
Character
You are what you practice.
Skills grow with use: those who drive a lot drive better, those who train shooting hit more, those who run gain stamina. The character grows in step with the story.
Endings that matter
A character can end. When it happens by narrative decision and with criteria, the ending carries weight — and the player starts over with a new story, without erasing what the city remembers.

- Shooting
- Strength
- Stealth
- Flying

Frequently asked questions
What is heavy text roleplay?
It is a style where the narrative is written: actions, speech and reactions are described in text, and what was not written did not happen. The focus is on story and interpretation, not on reflexes or mechanics.
Do I need to speak English?
No. The chat translates automatically between many languages, per recipient. Write in the language you are most comfortable with.
How does the economy work?
There is a legal economy and a clandestine one. Work and risk generate money in a bank account, items combine and circulate, and the condition of each vehicle or cargo changes its final value. Everything that circulates leaves a record.
What happens if my character is arrested?
They serve the time set by law: up to 1 hour for a misdemeanor and up to 24 hours for a felony. Life imprisonment only exists after a full judicial trial.
Can my character die for good?
Yes, by narrative decision and with criteria. It is called a CK (character kill): an ending with weight that lets you start over with a new story.
How do I join?
Join the Discord, read the rules and connect to the server at its official address. Then just create your character.
