Tidal Blades RPG: Rise of the Unfolders
Cypher System | Campaign
About the adventure
The Tournament of Heroes has concluded, and you have risen as one of the Tidal Blades—elite guardians and celebrated champions of Naviri, the island realm. Yet, your journey is far from over. The Fold, a frozen dimension of space and time that shields Naviri from giant sea monsters, is growing unstable. The High Engineers of the Citadel have bestowed upon you the Nexus, a powerful device that allows you to venture into the Fold and unfreeze time. Now, alongside your fellow Tidal Blades, you must brave the unknown, uncover the secrets of the Fold, and attempt to rescue the original Tidal Blades who were trapped when it was first created. In the Tidal Blades RPG, you step into the role of Naviri's elite guardians, exploring a vibrant archipelago where crocs, turtles, humans, and fish-folk thrive in a world of science, trade, and celebration. But beneath its beauty lies danger, as dark horrors and malevolent forces scheme and threaten the isles’ very existence. The campaign will be based loosely on the Tidal Blades board game but will expand it further with more high adventures and mysteries.

How to prepare
All players need is a microphone and a web browser—I’ll provide the books, rules, and all necessary Foundry modules. Newcomers to the Cypher System are more than welcome!
What I provide
The game will be hosted on the Foundry VTT server and feature tactical maps, immersive scenes, and an expansive open-world map. I’ll also provide ambient music to enhance the atmosphere. I aim to keep sessions challenging and engaging while ensuring they aren’t unnecessarily deadly.
Gameplay details
I run an open table and welcome all opinions and feedback. I will work with each of you to address any concerns. All players must submit their Consent Checklist before their first game session. X cards will be used to stop gameplay if anyone feels uncomfortable. There will be one break in each session. Session 0 will also help define the party and its goals.

How will character creation work
All players should create a character before their first gameplay session. The group will work together in Session 0 to build their characters. All characters will start at Tier 3, and the Tidal Blades RPG will be used as the primary rulebook. I am open to using other Cypher System books for additional options.
