About the adventure

The Age of Krakoa has ended. The X-Men are once more hunted, fallen from grace as they pick up the pieces of their lives in the aftermath of Krakoa's fall. Throughout it all, a Shadow hovers over Xavier’s students. Amahl Farouk has turned his ire to Charles and the X-Men once more. This time, the team is scattered. In their disorder, he sews chaos and prepares to reap the seeds he has planted during their fall. Will the team survive? Shadows and Dust is a Marvel Multiverse Asynchronous Play by Post campaign that will allow players to take the roles of their favorite X-Men characters. What can you expect to do? *Face threats from the X-Men's past and new threats that are developing. *Defend mutants and non-mutants from threats such as the Brotherhood and new Hellfire Club. *Establish a new safe haven for mutants. *Play through a mix of character development and action plots The game will revolve around the aftermath of the fall of Krakoa and adjustment to a new status quo for mutant kind--where they are once more feared and viewed with suspicion and caution. No knowledge of the Krakoan Era is required for play. We will go over any pertinent details in Discord, but the classic X-Men setting has been reestablished--the X-Men are hated and feared by the general populace and anti-mutant sentiment makes it dangerous for those developing their powers. Enemies that have been lurking in the wings since the Krakoan Era have now come for the X-Men, striking out while they are scattered and weakened. The first challenge? The Shadow King. Having influenced several X-Men and causing them to strike out against their teammates, the heroes have to save their friends and seek out Amahl Farouk to put an end to his campaign of vengeance. This game will be a mixture of superheroic action, horror, X-Men drama, and interaction with the rest of the Marvel Universe at large. For playable characters, the X-Men expansion includes over 80 characters in addition to those in the core rulebook. All of these, and those not included, are available for play. What you can expect from me: As storyteller, I will provide, at minimum, two detailed posts per day (more when time allows), Monday through Friday. Posting is very likely on the weekends, but not guaranteed. Most of my posting will be either in the afternoon and evening (central US time).
