About the adventure
Being a superhero isn't all it's cracked up to be - especially when you have to balance being a regular high schooler with maintaining a secret identity and working with your team to take down villains. Thankfully, you have a whole agency at your back - you and your teammates are agents of AEGIS, a Sirius Team sent out to investigate and deal with villains and organizations that require more than just a simple beat-down. Sure, AEGIS has questionable methods at times, but an organization this large and widespread surely only has Halcyon City's (and the world's) best interests at heart, right? The more time you spend working for them, though, the more sure you are that Something Else is at play - the mysterious Howler Division, inexplicably specific gadgets, and questionable orders are beginning to paint a rather suspicious picture. In an organization where all you can really trust is yourself and your teammates, how far are you willing to go to make sure you're working for the right people? We will be going over rules, character creation, and such in Session 0 (free), so please feel free to join even if you're unfamiliar with the system! This campaign is expected to last 12-14 sessions.

About me
Hi, I'm Sonder, I use she/her pronouns, and I've been playing and GM-ing TTRPGs for about 5 years, and designing them for about 2. I love collaborative storytelling and greatly enjoy tailoring narratives for characters. I've run a variety of TTRPGs spanning various systems and genres such as Monster of the Week, Masks, The Between, Absurdia, and a variety of other PbtAs. I'm also familiar with similar systems such as FitD, Belonging Outside Belonging, Rooted in Trophy, and the Resistance system. I would be more than happy to tailor any of these games to suit your table's needs! I'm also open to running any other rules-light TTRPGs of a similar nature, so feel free to reach out to me anytime!

Creating your character
Upon signing up for the game, you will be added to a Discord server created specifically for this game. There you will find a player resources channel with a Google Drive with the fillable character sheets, lines and veils document, and available playbooks. Characters will start at the base creation level (character creation, relationships, influences, and when the team came together will be done together in-session). Feel free to ping me at any time if you have any questions!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please be sure to have a Discord account and a working microphone as the game will be over Discord voice chat. It's perfectly alright if you're not familiar with the rules as I will go over them during our Session 0.

- An excellent pre-written adventure by Cam Banks et al. - An open, inclusive table - A vivid world with lore and mysteries for players to explore - Unique, memorable NPCs - A wide range of playbooks to choose from

How Sonder creates a safe table
- There will be a (free) Session 0 before the beginning of the campaign where I will explain the rules and premise of the game as well as guide the players through character creation. - Every player will be encouraged to add their Lines and Veils to a shared Google Sheet (this will be anonymous). - X, N, and O cards will be via message or on voice chat. - If an Open Door is invoked, other than asking if the player will be back later and what triggered the Open Door no other questions will be asked. - A 5-10 minute break will be taken every hour. - Stars and Wishes will be discussed at the end of the session.
