About the adventure
Discord Link: https://discord.gg/7GBEeDKKPA Humanity has ventured out into the stars in search of a new home. One star system in particular appears to have the conditions suitable for life, and has been dubbed the Eden system by the Professor responsible for it's discovery. On arriving in the Eden system, the colony vessels find that it is indeed teeming with life - a strange collection of creatures that CapsuleCorp researchers have dubbed 'Pokemon'. As the colonists attempt to settle the worlds, however, these alien fauna begin to grow agitated and attack. You'll be needed to get out into the field, research these creatures and see if it can be possible to coexist with them, and try to discover what might be behind the erratic weather and storms that began after the first human settlements started to be built. Researcher? Colonial Marine? Pilot? Whatever you choose to be, you'll need to find a way to adapt your skills to these strange new worlds.

About me
~A heads up, I am British. As such my weekday availability generally ends by 7pm EST.~ Feel like joining my Discord community? You can link up with fellow RPG players, see what projects are on the horizon and make requests of your own or vote in polls to influence future campaigns. Also feel free to spectate on any active sessions via the Discord Stage channel. Discord Link; https://discord.gg/7GBEeDKKPA A veteran player and GM, and developer for Pokemon Tabletop Reunited 1st and 2nd edition, having had at least 1 session a week now since 2004 - running and playing. Open to GMing a variety of systems. Got my start in D&D 3.0, but branched out about a decade ago into a variety of other games. Would consider learning new systems on request, though would likely charge more for the added effort to do so. I also do development work for system mechanics add-ons. Perhaps most importantly though, I am all too happy to work with you to integrate you into my worlds and create a very personalised character-specific story-line within the broader narrative of the campaign. Figuring out who your character is, their relationship dynamics and what drives them - with room for specific rivalries and more. I'm Autistic and ADHD like many other members of our community, and can provide a lot of support and advice to help with any barriers you might feel you face with neurodivergence. Willing to consider group-booking discounts depending on the number of players looking to book together. Contact me to discuss particulars. Feel free to ask about joining my Discord community to get a look at what else I have going on, along with future projects in the pipeline and the opportunity to discuss personalised requests for campaigns.

Creating your character
Players will be able to build their characters either together during session zero (encouraged) or if confident they will be able to work on them independently.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a microphone and a Discord account in order to participate at a minimum. Character sprites will be needed but some can be provided by the GM if not got a preferred one.
What Chris 'Fox' brings to the table
I will bring the PTR2 build on Foundry VTT, character sheets, sprites for creatures with some provided for players if they wish to use them. I will set up with ambient music and battle music.

How Chris 'Fox' creates a safe table
Lines and veils will be discussed in session zero, and the GM will make notes of them and adjust plans accordingly. During play, we can pause whenever needed and talk about things and adjust course as needed.
