About the adventure
Caught behind enemy lines during a cold war, your group of unlikely adventurers will have to set aside their differences and make your way home through a dangerous, unfamiliar land. The problem is, this strange mountainous kingdom is so different from the lush, green world you hail from and their strange customs and culture make it awfully difficult for your party to blend in. The other problem is that your important artifact is really annoying. The other OTHER problem is... you're not even adventurers! Can you get your party home and become heroes? Probably not, but there's no harm in trying! »»━━◈━◈━◈━━→ »»━━◈━◈━◈━━→ »»━━◈━◈━◈━━→ Gone Questin' is a wacky adventure setting inspired by middle-fantasy comedies (Disenchantment, Wizards, Monty Python, the Discworld series).

About me
Welcome Adventurers! I'm TJ, and I have been playing TTRPGs for just around 2 decades -- And half of that has been GMing! I believe the key to running an enveloping, compelling game is to create a fantastic world for your players to forge their own stories. If you're looking for an experience that pulls you in with rich lore, delivers on narratively satisfying character arcs and creates a collaborative story that YOU help bring to life, then I am the Game Master for you! My background in acting and vast worldbuilding experience will assist in bringing you an immersive setting filled with laughter, tears and action!

Creating your character
There will be a Session Zero to set expectations, delve into the lore and get the ball rolling on character creation. Any time between Session Zero and the start of the campaign, players will be able to schedule a 1 on 1 with the DM to build and outfit their characters, as well as anchor them into the world in a way that feels stable and real. These sessions are 100% FREE! Characters will start at... level ZERO?? That's right -- for this game we'll be introducing unique gameplay that will allow your characters to discover their capabilities for the first time in-game, making it perfect for beginners!
This will be a biweekly game!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All sessions will be played on Discord! Mics are required, high quality mics recommended. Cameras are encouraged, as I personally am a very animated DM and like to bounce reactions off my players, but not mandatory. Players will need to provide and keep track of their own dice and character sheets, but have their choice of physical or digital. All software used will be DM-controlled and streamed in High-Quality, so no need for a beefy computer or a multitude of screens!
What TJ brings to the table
In addition to unique maps, a detailed wiki and a virtual tabletop, players can expect an end-of campaign gift of a party illustration!

How TJ creates a safe table
Anonymity in discussing triggering or difficult content is paramount to me, as it helps to avoid players not specifying something out of fear or embarrassment. Consent and Line/Veil checklists, Aftercare and Stars/Wishes will all be completed using forms and/or private discussion with the DM. Open Doors and X/N/O cards have the capability to be entirely anonymous. **Content Warning list is not all-inclusive. Gameplay and Encounters are made to take into account player lines/veils, but the level of difficult material will be decided by the players prior to the start of the game.
