About the adventure
You and your friends are dragged into a treacherous fantasy world made from your own fears, doubts and desires. There’s only one way to escape - but with limitless adventure within your grasp, would you even want to? DIE is a tabletop roleplaying game about fantasy versus reality, and poses the question of why we play games at all, 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.
Every Wednesday for 4 weeks.

Additional details
How to prepare
Webcam and mic essential, game will be played on a Zoom videocall. All you need are an online roller or at least 4 six-sided dice, plus a regular polyhedral set (you will only be using one of these dice, as assigned during character creation). No need to have read the DIE comic from Image comics, and it will not spoil the game if you have read it!
What I provide
Character sheets, full knowledge of the game, music cues, and theatrics (of the mind).
Gameplay details
A uniquely and specifically tailored story and experience, every time. All safety tool discussions will be had in the first session (Session 0), along with character creation, core rules rundown, and system explainer. X cards and lines and veils can be anonymous if requested.

How will character creation work
All character creation takes place as part of the game, and is one of the main engines for the DIE system. Can circulate character sheets for some pre-game information, and will definitely share the material as we begin, but no prep is needed for the game. The DIE system is peculiar, in that it mines the lives of realistic (but fictional) people called Personas, generated during character creation. In turn, the mining creates the fantasy world the Personas will find themselves in. Bring tissues, willingness to explore the flaws of the Personas, and expect to catch some feelings at least.
