Intro to City of Mist: Your story begins (First session free)
City of Mist | Campaign
About the adventure
Step into the city and become a rift between reality and fantasy. Explore the wonders of this world, brimming with people and places bathed in magic, hidden from the common eye by the mist enveloping the entire city. Embark with your group of private investigators, gang members, gang of kids, knights of the order, company men, conspiracy busters, or any other ensemble. Forge your legend and unravel the mysteries shrouded beneath the mist. City of Mist is a noir-inspired cinematic TTRPG where ordinary individuals (your characters) harness the powers of legends—be they a person, being, item, or location from any story, mythology, legend, folklore, fairytale, literary work, urban legend, religious tale, concept, or real-world event. There are no limits to the stories from which your character draws their powers. In this campaign, we'll begin with an exposition session (our version of a session 0) where I'll assist you in crafting a compelling concept for your character. Together, we'll explore details that tie each character to the world: how you all come together, your collective purpose, and the type of game and story you wish to experience. Following that, we'll delve into a day in the life of your characters, playing a brief session to set the stage for the rest of your story. If the campaign is already underway, upon joining, I'll provide you with all pertinent information about the campaign's direction and what to anticipate. Regarding the "first session free" offer, both the session 0 and your initial session are complimentary. If you join a campaign already in progress, you'll receive one free session.

Additional details
How to prepare
Microphone is obligatory and camera is optional. The players should have a discord account in order to get into the server. You do not need an account for Foundry, I will give you the link to join the game when we play. Until then you can write down your concepts and ideas before we start session 0 and/or character creation.
What I provide
I will bring premade characters, FoundryVTT(The virtual tabletop we are going to use to play), ambient music, complex social and combat scenarios, integration of your backstory into the story, and help with creating your character: both the sheet and an image to represent it. I also have the PDFs of the player's guide, the MC toolkit, the shadows and showdowns expansion, the Nights of Payne Town book(that contains tons of prewritten cases), and the new Local legends expansion.
Gameplay details
For "Lines and Veils" and "Stars and Wishes" there will be a section in a public journal for players to state their preferences, limits and wishes. For how X, N and O cards will be implemented, at any point through the game you can type either X, N or O to express your feelings to the rest of the players. In the rare case that no one takes notice for one reason or the other you can DM me on discord and I should hear the notification. If none of that works or if you prefer it so, you can speak out loud your concerns of the direction that the game is taking. All of the content warning are just things that can come up but can also be taken out by Lines or veils.

How will character creation work
If the campaign has not started then character creation will be done during the exposition session. You can have a concept beforehand but I don't recommend building a complete character before the session. After the exposition if you have any changes you want to make to your character you can make them but first notify them to me and the group so any change makes sense with what we stablished in the exposition session. If the campaign has already started I would personally guide you through the process of creating your character at convenient time for both of us. In both of the previous cases I have some premade characters that you will be able to pick up if that is what you prefer.
