About the adventure
Come playtest James' new space-fantasy adventure game "Cosmic Century Knights" inspired by Shonen anime. In this two-shot, you and your fellow players will create knights, swords, antagonists, and a world in your first session. Then James will run a full adventure for you in the next session. This game involves worldbuilding and setting agency for players as well as in-character play! "300 years ago… a massive blade descended from the heavens and pierced the world. Embedded within it were 100 legendary blades, each with unique blessings that grant the wielder incredible power. Folk who claim blades for themselves gain the title of knight. They are respected, needed, and feared all over the world. Players take the role of adventurers who have been accepted by one of the 100 legendary Century Blades as a Knight. " These playtests develop the system and help James make ends meet during a bad time.

About me
I am a celebrated podcaster, author, and game designer. I am on here because I love games, toddlers are expensive, and capitalism is evil.
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character and world creation is a fun and mechanically supported part of the game. You will pick traits based on random roles, answer open-ended questions to solidify your characters, and roll for the blessings on your blades. World creation involves collaborative pick-lists, priority assignments, open questions, and ability selection. Making your characters and the world will likely fill a whole session, but I promise it rules.
Cosmic Century Knights is a currently in-development RPG. I'm running playtests with OSN patrons, but this is an opportunity to play in a personalized instance of the game. It will revolve the ideas created by you and the other players who sign up for this slot. This includes character and world creation as full sessions because they are involved and satisfying processes. Also, I expect to start up closer to Febuary. I don't fully understand the scheduling system on here.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need a mic and headphones at least. Webcams are preferred because they help people communicate based on non-verbal queues, but they are not required. The only thing you need to bring to the table is some enthusiasm and creativity!
What James D'Amato brings to the table
I will have all the game materials we need to make characters and play. Those will be shared with you on the day. You will need access to a standard polyhedral set: d4, d6, d8, d10, d12, d20, d%. Electronic rollers are also fine.

How James D'Amato creates a safe table
We'll do an open lines/veils for session zero. That will frame what we create. We will couple it with X Card during 0 and 1 to cover anything we forgot or anything that emerges. This is supposed to be fun and I don't want it to be anything but fun for folks who participate.
