About the adventure
The forges of the imperial city of Nuln produce the most needful of things - Fine steel, cannon barrels, handguns, armor. The tools that the brave men and women of the empire use to keep their homes safe against the tides of Chaos. But now they will be tested - a green ride rises to the south, and the Empire's greatest defenders are dealing with other threats. Nuln's walls are tall and it's cannons unmatched, but relief is far afield... And the danger will prove to not only lurk outside of Nuln's walls. ------------------------ The Siege of Nuln is a short campaign set in the besieged city. You will be playing a group of individuals - deputized by a witch hunter - to keep the less obvious threats to the city in check. Uncovering the deception your enemy weaves will be just as big a part of the game as battle or social elements. Be careful who you trust, because a wrong choice could spell the end for not just yourselves, but all of Nuln.

About me
Hello, friends - My name is Travis, and I've been gaming for almost 25 years now, with about 18 of that as a game master. I got my start reading Lone Wolf choose-your-own-adventure books and moved on to AD&D played extremely incorrectly with my middle-school friends. Since then I've branched out into many gaming systems, AAA and Indie alike! Some systems I've run include things like D&D (3.X, 4e, PF1e, 5e), Legend of the Five Rings (3rd, 4th and 5th ed), Call of Cthulhu (6th-ish?), Exalted (3rd), Deadlands (Original), Various WoD games (Old and New), One-Roll Engine (Wild Talents, Godlike, Nemesis), Warhammer 40k (Dark Heresy 2nd), and probably a dozen more, plus an awful lot of micro-RPGs! I ran games on the San Francisco Bay Area TTRPG convention circuit for about ten years, and that's given me an awful lot of practice in knowing how to make a game feel alive and fun, without letting players run all over me. When you play one of my games, you can expect a solid plot, challenging (but not mega-lethal) encounters, and lots of chances to roleplay with characters that range from extremely serious and believable to 'Foot-wide talking spider with a pink ribbon tied around her who speaks with a squeaky voice'. I specialize in extremely high fantasy, low fantasy, and horror. All my games are LGBTQ+ friendly and BIPOC inclusive, with a 0 tolerance policy towards behavior violating that. I will kick you out. This is your warning.

Creating your character
Character creation will happen together and session zero. Players will be starting with enough bonus experience that you should be able to start at rank two, making you modestly more capable than a standard starting character.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a microphone and a relatively quiet place to play. You should also join my discord server! You can join with this link - https://discord.gg/AjcP6QCn6Z
What Travis brings to the table
I'll be bringing a detailed map and overview of Nuln, canny enemies, twisted mysteries, and a terrified city on the verge of disaster.

How Travis creates a safe table
Players will make characters together in session zero, to be prepared for this game. Players should expect a wide range of challenges, favoring mysteries, and then short bouts of fast paced, very lethal combat. As the game goes on, players should expect the tone of the game to get darker and more desperate. There won't be many explicit descriptions, but the foes of the empire are foul, and a man who's family is starving is capable of barbaric things.
