About the adventure
There are very few bonds stronger than survival, and your Crew has each other's back through thick and thin. Establish your own territory amidst the warring factions and the Zaibatsu corpos as the world is forever changed by the return of myth! In a cyberpunk future where the constant Noise from ads and pollution covered the return of true magic, old fables and Mythos back to reality, become one of few that can see through the stories and power through conspiracies, mysterious and magical encounters, and dangerous foes to protect those important for you! Face your essence and fight to keep yourself whole, or accept the way your decisions might move your position in society and in relation with those around you in this narrative system that rewards creative thinking and embracing the storytelling to weave incredible moments between players. So double-check your ammo, do your daily ritual to appease your favorite mythoi, and weave through the Noise in search of a brighter day!
This is a weekly game based on the Metro:Otherscape system. If you ever played any PbtA games before, this is an evolution on that format of narrative games, and if you have no experience if those, it's an extremely easy system to understand and to learn, so you don't need to worry! We're accepting players of any kind of experience that are interested in making this a cinematic saga that really respects your choices as a player, and where every bit of lore matters for the game!

Additional details
How to prepare
You will need: • A functional microphone; • A Discord account for accessing the server and its voice call as that's going to be the main contacting tool • Google Drive account for access to the books Foundry VTT doesn't require an account on any external service, and everything else will be handled over Session Zero or the Interlude between sessions.
What I provide
The games will be run over Foundry VTT with many premium modules to heighten the immersive experience. Sound effects and professionally-made soundtracks are also included in the sessions to bring in those Theater of the Mind environments the game thrives over and enhancing the narrative impact of those dramatic moments the game shines on.
Gameplay details
By the nature of the :Otherscape system, this is a very open-ended sandbox narrative with no predetermined paths, so it rewards creative use of your characters abilities and immersing yourself in the experience. A Lines and Veils document will be sent for the players so the narrative can be adapted to those preferences, and after every session we'll take a few extra minutes (already included in the expected time per session) to check on everyone and their feelings and thoughts over that session. After the session, you'll get a Stars and Wishes sheet that will help align everyone's expectations over the next sessions so this is the best possible experience for everyone involved!

How will character creation work
Character creation will be handled over Session Zero, or through a personal Interlude session, going over how the character operates and is connected to the game world. We'll use both the Metro:Otherscape core book and Tokyo:Otherscape setting book for character creation.
