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. At least your job is (for the most part) fairly straightforward - you find out about a villainous threat and you and your team track down and neutralize it. Word on the street has it there's a new villain around town - one that has access to the source code of reality itself and little interest in letting things remain as they are. This villain is using their ability to bend the world to their whims and make their life as enjoyable as possible, which wouldn't be a true problem if they weren't leaving people in the lurch in their wake. A.E.G.I.S. seems too busy to deal with this threat (or uninterested in doing so) so it's up to you and your team to track this 'Source Code' down and deal with them before it's too late. This is a simple starter mystery for players of all experience levels, so feel free to join even if you're unfamiliar with the system! Note: Except for under extenuating circumstances, leaving the game less than 3 hours before game time will not be refunded.

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 4. 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 (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. While characters must be created before the game starts, it's perfectly alright if you're not familiar with the rules as I will go over them as necessary.
What Sonder brings to the table
- An excellent pre-written adventure - 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
