Creating your character
We will be making characters as part of session zero. If you'd prefer to make or select a published character, have it ready to add to the roster at session zero. Your character should be a young mutant whose powers have begun manifesting themselves in recent years. Characters are students at Professor Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters. Origin of Mutant or Artificial Mutant. Rank is capped at 3. In addition to making characters, players will establish backstories, relationships, and world building. You'll be introduced to the mansion that houses the school and participate in a Danger room exercise.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should be running a recent version of Chrome and have headphones & a microphone, a webcam is helpful but not required. Players will need a free discord account to connect to an Audio chat channel. If your new to the game, its very easy to pick up on. Marvel has a quick intro here: https://youtu.be/I6WLq5s04l8 and session zero will supply the player with game rule summaries, and ensure players are familiar with their characters and the game.
What Matthew Jording brings to the table
Custom Virtual tabletop server (Foundry VTT) and discord server. I strive to deliver tightly prepared narration, encourage improvisation, roleplay, and character development/character arcs. Facilitating entertaining, and challenging fight scenes. Custom detailed maps, tokens, lighting, and battle map tools, special effects for power signatures, character effect animations. The adventure includes handouts of maps, key NPC dialog, news items, etc. The game server has background audio, including music and atmospheric foley. Players control individual volume to their taste.

Regular breaks for sessions over an hour in length. Each game starts with a session 0 to set expectations over the series of adventure sessions. Each session starts with a pre-session checklist. The checklist includes: - Reviewing safety tools with the table. - Session 0 review and session specific expectations, and tools. - Upcoming game schedule and game recap. Forum for session discussion and support outside of foundry game server (Discord)
