About the adventure
š§āāļø Monster Hunts + Mayhem Track, battle, and outwit monsters, villains, and factions across a living world inspired by a plethora of pop culture. Expect silliness, scares, and savage showdowns. šŗļø Explore a Player-Shaped World Adventure across hexmaps where your choices shape the biomes, towns, factions, and the state of the world. š§ Multiple Characters, Multiple Parties Build a stable of player characters, mix and match parties for missions, and hop between interconnected narratives. Death is realābut unlockable deathmasks are a thing. š°ļø Time Matters (Like, For Real) Real-life time = in-game time. Factions make moves, NPCs evolve, and downtime becomes strategic. Train, research, carouse, or just start your own weird raccoon cult. š§© Player-Driven Unlocks Want a weird subclass? Think a Myconid would make a fun playable species? Desire a cursed talking sword that quotes The Princess Bride? Collaborate with the DM to gather rumors, find mentors, and unlock new options through play. š Beer, Pretzels, & Vibes Weāre here to laugh, improvise, and embrace chaos. Expect psychic damage for dad jokes, XP for clever ideas, and wild faction drama. No lore memorization required, but note-taking is recommended.

About me
Iām a lifelong nerd and gamer, a dad, a husband, and a product designer. I have a fond nostalgia for fantasy and sci-fi media from the 80s to the 00s. I am a former 5e DM who has become a (mostly) OSR referee with a preference for Mƶrk Borg and its clones. Lately, Iāve been on a history binge. Mostly reading up on the golden age of piracy and the Spanish War of Succession that preceded it.

Homebrew rules
I borrow procedures from other TTRPGs on the regular, especially where 5e is less codified (e.g. dungeon crawling rounds, hex map exploration rules, etc.). Combat, however, typically follows 5e rules as intended with a blend of the occasional rule-of-cool. There's also some fun house rules like: ā”ļø Telling a groan-worthy dad jokes trigger a wave of (Xd4) psychic damage to all allies within a 15 yd radius š„ Punching an inanimate object has a X% chance to punch yourself in the face

Safety
How Phil creates a safe table
Typically our rule is this: Don't be a jerk; Be a cooperative player. During session 0, content warnings and boundaries will be discussed. Each session will end with an optional debrief. Any player who is being "that player" will have one warning before being immediately removed from the game after a second offense. Be kind to your fellow players and the GM.
