About the adventure
The world of the Witcher is a dark fantasy world full of terrifying monsters, large scale war, and the harsh realities of life in a medieval period. Combat is extremely deadly and magic is costly; every day is a struggle to survive. In the world of the Witcher nothing is black and white and navigating through the world boils down to survival and making the choices that let you sleep at night. Witcher TRPG features 8 unique races, including: -Humans -Elves -Dwarves -Halflings -Gnomes -Werebbubbs -Vran -Witchers As well as 11 varied classes, including: -Bard -Craftsman -Criminal -Doctor -Druid -Mage -Man-At-Arms -Merchant -Noble -Priest -Witcher
A Book of Tales is a pre-written module that will take you from the snowy mountains of Kovir to the north down into the wine-soaked valley of Toussaint in the south. The book consists of six unique adventures and I have added two additional adventures from the other books where appropriate in the journey. Adventures vary, meaning some will be more combat-focused, others more socially focused, but all of them allow you to dive into this incredible franchise and explore it in ways you've never seen in the books, video games, or TV show! Character creation and scheduling will be handled during Session 0.

How to prepare
A Discord account and working mic are required. A Webcam is preferred, but not mandatory. A basic understanding of the Witcher world is recommended, but not required. -For those of you who have only watched the Netflix show, imagine it as if you were getting the story from a drunkard in a bar, half remembering what he'd heard from Dandelion's (the Bard) ballads. The show is WILDLY inaccurate and will not be considered canon. That said, it's better than no information at all. We're on FoundryVTT, so no physical items are required. Dice and Character Sheets are included in the system.
What I provide
I will bring an expansive knowledge of the franchise and system, create maps to be run through DungeonFog, and have built a complete compendium full of items, spells, and creatures from all of RTG's Witcher content.
Gameplay details
The game is a little rules heavy, however once you're past the learning curve, they become somewhat intuitive. The Witcher is not a soley combat focused game like D&D and Pathfinder, and focuses more on narrative arcs and intruige. Some of the classes, like Bard and Merchant, offer almost now combat advantages, but bring a lot to the table socially. There is a Verbal Combat and Investigation system, which allow non-combat characters to engage in Encounters as well. Combat in the Witcher is very lethal, requiring preparation and tactics. Characters can be maimed or die in nearly any encounter, so having a backup is recommended to continue playing. We're playing on FoundryVTT with a complete, manually-built compendium with all of RTG's Witcher content, including the DLC content. As far as Table Etiquette, I expect everyone to respect every player regardless of their personal beliefs or opinions. We're all on different journeys in the real world and our experiences and perspectives may differ, but we're all human beings who are entitled to our world views. Bigotry, homophobia, and intolerance will NOT be tolerated. I play on Discord and require everyone to do the same. A Mic is required, and while a video is welcome and recommend it is optional.

How will character creation work
Character creation will happen during Session 0. Witcher TRPG features a detailed Life Path system that helps to create a framework for character backstories. These can be rolled or chosen, allowing you to quickly and easily create interesting character backgrounds that can easily be expanded upon.
