About the adventure
Something dark stirs in the depths of the imperial city of Ashul, and the government has summoned enhanced individuals for an exploration mission. As a newly-appointed secret service operative, you have to investigate the mysteries of the Breach, the most secret place in the city. To survive its many dangers, you will use your steampunk prosthetics and the little magical energy that your body can muster after powering the implants. This game is the final playtest for the Red Moon Rising RPG, a d100 game based on the Red Moon Rising web comics. If you have played Call of Cthulhu you already know the basics, and the full rules will be available online.

About me
Playing tabletop RPGs since 1987, and online since 2007, I may say I have some game sessions under my belt. At the moment I organise sessions mainly to playtest my own d100-based game system, but I also join the occasional D&D session from time to time.

Characters are pregenerated. All of them are steampunk cybernetically-enhanced psionics. You can pick one of the following. - Eren Gon-Elthos, Exquisite swordsman, Liutenant of the Infantry of Ashul (prosthetic r arm, Fire mage) - Janis Val-Nath, Crossbowman, Ensign of the Marine Corps of Ashul (two prosthetic arms, Air Mage) - Maros Koth-Nara, Speleologist, Freelance guide for the Ashuli army (prosthetic eyes, Earth mage) - Thomas Stem-Nath, Administrator of the Zonim industrial complex, Ashul (prosthetic lungs, Water mage) - Van Tam-Soth, PhD, Professor of Natural History at the University of Ashul (prosthetic eyes, Void mage). If anyone wishes to play the female counterpart of one of the characters let me know, Ashuli society is gender inclusive so no issue with this.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Download demo version of Fantasy Grounds. Optional: look at the archives of web comic www.redmoonrising.org Please specify whether you want your character to be female. Ashul is a gender-equal society, so there is no limit for this.
