About the adventure

Several years ago, a group of Indian archaeologists exhumed the remains of a creature so monstrous that the scientists called it Medusa. The unusual DNA of this creature hides the secret to developing an extremely powerful virus. Konstantin Stamos kidnapped Doctor Sita Khan and her team of researchers, but even he is only a pawn to the Order of the Knights Templar. This shadow organization seeks to develop the perfect bioweapon: a lethal virus that causes no symptoms until they activate it remotely. Under Project: Medusa, the Templars could bring the world to its knees. You, the Brotherhood of Assassins, are all that stand in their way.

Gameplay details

πŸ› οΈ SAFETY TOOLS Let's talk about safety. We will be employing a number of safety tools to keep ourselves and the table around us comfortable, even as we stretch our imaginations. Remember: people are more important than any game. 0️⃣ Session Zero: we will meet and greet for the first session and go over as a group the dynamics we would like to have between our characters, the organizations we would like to avoid or include in gameplay, as well as discuss potential world-hopping wish-lists. Players can also expect to do character creation during this session, as well as a bit of world-building as it relates to their character's perspective. We also establish the table's limits on content and tone, giving a general overview of what is acceptable at the table and what will not be tolerated. πŸ“ Lines and Veils: The very baseline of our safety tools. It's not possible to determine/know every possible trigger in advance, but it is possible to prevent feelings of unsafety and traumatizing emotions by simply asking what types of content to avoid at the table. Lines are hard stops that will never be included, whereas veils are soft limits that can be mentioned, if not described, and usually result in a "fade-to-black." ❌ ❓ β­•: X, N, and O cards, as depicted by emoji to the left. Please, please feel free to either publicly let the group know in the Discord voice channel text, or privately to me as a personal message, how you are feeling about the content to that we may respond in real time. You don't have to explain yourself. Just send along an ❌ if you want to hard-stop what is happening, a ❓ if you wish to begin fading to black, or an β­• if you want the content to continue. πŸšͺ Open Door policy: if you, the player, need to leave, whether permanently or temporarily, that is okay. I would ask, as a personal favor, that you reach out to me in order to debrief, hopefully without triggering further trauma, to go over what I could have done better in crafting the experience for you. πŸ’­ Breaks: we will be taking them regularly, roughly 15 minutes for every one (1) hour. Even if you think you are fine emotionally and mentally with content, we really shouldn't be sitting and staring at screens for so long. Everyone gets a chance to bio, get some water or snacks, and otherwise decompress for a bit. 🌟 Stars and Wishes: after gameplay, I'll be happy to receive feedback regarding your experience! If you were to let your friends, a family member, or your doppelganger (non-evil!) play this game, what would you recommend I change? What would you keep the same?
