About the adventure
The stories of our past help guide our future - or at least that is what we have been led to believe. Through the spoken ideal and the spark within all of us, we must gather ourselves to face the dangers ahead. Come, my friends, for on the edge of nothing will our words become power and our wills our blade! To the echoes beyond that which was foretold! Join me on a bespoke adventure that starts with the Bridge Nine series and continues forward to wherever the party wills it to go. Inspired by the Stormlight Archives book series, this story will see elements from the books, the adventures that will be released within the Stormlight RPG game, and my own creations as you delve further into your characters' stories and objectives. A few notes on this game: - You do not need to know any previous lore of the series - This system is not compatible with the Mistborn RPG system - I am a narrative over mechanic style person, so please don't feel restricted to the options in the system.

About me
Some dragons hoard gold. Others hoard gemstones. While I never will turn down such hoards, I hoard stories - a hoard that grows with each passing day. As a long-term roleplay writer, I enjoy creating new stories and curating prewritten ones to fit the tone or purpose of my stories, parties, and games. I have been type-roleplaying for many years, being part of the forum roleplay groups back in the age of Gaia Online and other similar groups. Since then, I have been writing posts that expressed the inner workings, the active actions, and the pointed conversations of hundreds of complex characters. This is only amplified when compiling them together to form a story that is reactive and interactable from a group seeking the next dawn. I have a corgi familiar named Fenrir who often enjoys giving me the Help action and is a mini-celebrity amongst my players, often having a related npc or party pet that represents Fenrir and his antics. I value narrative context and will do my best to fit the mechanics to the narrative you want. This has led me to curating and crafting custom content - often referred to as homebrew - for several games, players, and even other game masters. I do my best to not include AI generated imagery in my live games, choosing to not use such images for advertisement and actively replacing any edge/unknown cases with commissioned pieces, and often support growing artists in my communities. I also do not use AI in any of my play-by-post messages. This provides a raw experience to my creative inspirations.

What is there not to say about how wonderful Onyx is as a Game Master? They are wonderful at storytelling, very active, and super detailed with all her posts. The duet they run for me is one of the best and most immersive experiences I've had in a long long time, and I am proud to have her as a close confidant and friend. I look forward to every post they make and I look forward to future RP with them for the foreseeable future.

Always willing to work with players and hash out details or events for them to be able to feel part of a a story and not railroaded.

Onyx is a fantastic GM in any setting. I have played in two different campaign settings with her and both have been amazing. Shes incredibly player focused without diminishing the dangers to the PC's. I highly encourage everyone to try one of her games, you won't be disappointed!

I've played in at least three different games with Onyx and each one has been a blast! They are very mindful of everyone sitting at the table and is more than willing to make sure everyone is having a fun time :) 10/10 GM, I do recommend!

I'm going to expand this eventually because there's just so much I can say about this wonderful GM. I've known onyx for a long time; we've been RP buddies for ages! Onyx can do many things. In fact, anything you want, usually, be it a classic fantasy game, science fiction, horror. If it fits in her schedule, she can do voice or live text, and she can also do play-by-post, at your speed. She is creative, she's great at worldbuilding and at making realistic NPCs who react realistically. Shes amazing at painting a picture with words. Give Onyx's games a try! The adorable dog pics are the cherry on top!

Safety
How Onyx (Megan) creates a safe table
I have been given the honor of running a sneak peak into the Stormlight RPG - I will not have access to the adventure until closer to the KS launch, but I do have a general idea of what is dictated in the book series in terms of safety concerns. These may update as I read through the adventure - so keep that in mind when signing up. This is a bespoke adventure as well, so some concepts may come up on the fly based on party actions. If anything may be potentially triggering even if no one had mentioned it thus far, it will be handled prior to explaining that scene. I run Avrae in my discord for safety purposes through the use of the Safety Tools workshop alias so if anything comes up you are not interested in, let me know! All players will be given a private channel to discuss lines/veils prior to session 0.
