About the adventure

Before we get into what the adventure is about, here is what sets me apart from other professional GMs. 🎶 Music for Immersion will be utilized! 📖 My stories are non-linear meaning that player agency is about 95% I won't allow anything that makes other players uncomfortable or takes away fun from others but anything else is fair game! This doesn't mean there isn't a story it just means if everyone wants to go on a search for mew instead of progressing the story you can! There are gonna be times in the story well you are in a time crunch but what you do in that time is up to you! 🌎🌍🌏 Made world, I have spent months creating this world, running home games in it, and will be ready for anything you do! I have sheets for practically every NPC in town and I'm ready for anything. You battle that random kid on the side of the street worry not I have all his Pokemon already ready to go so no need to wait for me to create them! 🧑‍🏫Don't be afraid to join because you don't know the system! I will teach you before, during, and after the session everyone is welcome here and if it's needed I have Premade character sheets ready for you! 📅If this time isn't convenient for you I have many many time slots you can choose from if you check my profile! Or you can book me as a DM and we can discuss a custom time just for you and your group! --- ABOUT THE ADVENTURE --- Pokémon Before Arceus is an adventure taking place in the Talendale region. It's a homebrew region that has the national dex due to it being a Supercontinent this region is the Mythus Region if you have played with me before but back in time. In this adventure, you play as a hero who in an attempt to save the world sought Dialga but when you found it. It was in its Primal form sending you back to a period where Pokédinos still exist. Your memories are extremely hazy and you only have your Ace Pokemon. It's in its first evolution and your body/memories have been reverted to if you just started your adventure. You can start with any pokémon including legendaries but they will be little babies and extremely nerfed! In this adventure, there isn't too much of a story except trying to survive this time period and trying to make it back home. WARNING: This campaign will be deadly and you or Pokémon might die. This will show the dark side of Pokémon and if you are looking for a happier more close to home Pokémon adventure check out my other campaign "Venture Into The Unknown | A Pokérole Adventure | Mythus Region"

Game style

Theater of the Mind

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

How to prepare

You will need a webcam, mic, a discord account, and a roll20 free account. You will also need a Google Slides account!

What I provide

Roll20 will be our main VTT for this campaign! I love doing character voices and playing music even sometimes sending my players things to interact with in the real world anything for that IMMERSION! I love the rule of cool and i am very lax.

If the table is not for you a refund will be provided! Lines and Veils: These will be sent to me before session 0 and i will go over them in session 0 without revealing whose they are.
