About the adventure
We were all friends in high school. We played a game together. Many years later, we got back together to play again. Little did we know, this time the game was for real. DIE RPG is a roleplaying game based on the comic of the same name. In DIE, you play a group of authentically flawed and desperate real-world people (Personas) who are sucked into a cursed roleplaying game and take on the form of heroes, villains and power players (Paragons). No experience needed. DIE is an easy game to pick up and play. Character sheets will be provided, and character generation is done together as a group.

About me
I am the co-producer of Kill Every Monster and the co-founder of Dead Ghost Productions. I run custom Dungeons and Dragons, Call of Cthulhu, MASKS, Vampire the Masquerade, DIE RPG, and Star Trek Adventures campaigns (plus a few more systems I am pretty good at). I like to tell vivid, relevant stories that give plenty of room for the players at my table to carve out their own pieces of the world via their character backstories and connections. I am also the co-founder of Dead Ghost Productions (deadghostpro.com) and the co-producer of the Dungeons and Dragons podcast, Kill Every Monster (killeverymonster.com)

Storytelling

Fantastic game! I just played a few sessions of Star Trek: Adventures with Aram and had an amazing time. He really knows Star Trek and how to build a world and campaign that fits within that vast narrative. He's a brilliant GM and does a great job sharing the spotlight between players and letting our creative ideas shape the narrative. Highly recommend his games!
Aram is a DM that is amazing to play with. His ability for storytelling is top-notch and he has the amazing ability to take whatever you throw at him and turn it into something that fits in his worlds and makes sense. I've been in a few of his games and they have all been an absolute blast.
With my VERY first campaign with Aram, I was very nervous about how I would perform with a group of players. But even on my first session, Aram allowed me to be creative and include my input into the narrative. His storytelling and podcasting skills were superb and really showed every session!
Aram is a phenomenal Game Master who brings together tables of people interested in telling a rich story in a world built to facilitate it. While I'm enjoying every single session of the current campaign, I'm already looking forward to any other stories we can tell together in the future.
If you want an immersive world narrated by a master storyteller where it really feels like the decisions you make truly matter, then you've found the perfect GM for you! Aram is incredibly talented. His descriptive, collaborative style is such a pleasure to experience. I look forward to the sessions and the stories we weave there all week. Don't hesitate! You will love his campaigns!
Aram has been an incredible GM. He's really helped take my enjoyment of playing 5e further, and every session has been one that I've looked forward to. It can be hard to make a group of people and have it feel like you've all been playing together for a long time, but Aram has done that with ease. He's also great at taking ideas and shaping them into really cool results.
Character creation
Creating your character
Character and world creation will happen together at the table. DIE RPG has a unique system where you play a real-world Persona who gets sucked into a alternate fantasy reality and becomes a Paragon. Think Goth Jumanji. You met in high school and played a game. Many years later, you are reuniting to play again. I will guide the group through a series of questions about their characters, their shared history, and what has happened to them since leaving school. In answering these questions, you will create your real-world Persona and your transformation into the super-powered Paragons of our DIE RPG world. Don't worry about the rules of DIE RPG or preperation. Everything you need to know and play the game will be presented in this first session.
We will play Sundays at 7pm EST every other week.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a webcam, a microphone, and an internet connection. You will also need several d6's and 1 special die (either a d4, d6, d8, d10, or d12, depending on your Paragon). Character sheets will be provided for you to fill out.
What Aram brings to the table
A knowledge of the DIE RPG system and world creation, and a lot of imagination.

Safety
How Aram creates a safe table
In DIE RPG you generate a group of real world people, who then sit down to play a role-playing game, before getting dragged into a fantasy world which is warped by the real-world people's hopes and fears. Individual characters may struggle with their identities, but no outward pressure will take place in the story. No racism, sexism, homophobia, misogyny, or ableism occurs on-screen in my games. The world of DIE RPG feeds on the insecurities and failures of the people who enter it. The tone can be dark and disturbing, and character death is a real possibility. We will all fill out Lines and Veils anonymously. Some subjects are baked into the premise of the game, including: - Body Horror - Classism - Guns - Mind Control and Mind Alteration (if the Dictator is included) - Trauma - Violence - Warfare My goal is to help guide a story that hits strong fantasy and horror notes, but the most important thing is to be sure everyone involved is comfortable with the story being told. DIE RPG is an intense game that can expose thoughts and feelings we may not have been aware of going in. At any point in the game, any player can X out of any situation openly or anonymously to ensure the safety of everyone at the table. After each session we will hand out our stars and announce our wishes for upcoming games.
