Adventures, Incorporated! Magic and Mystery in a Modern world!

About the adventure

Working nine to five is a heck of a way to make a living - especially when your work involves dealing with HR complaints from the Nine Hells, removing hexes on the Company's stock, and investigating occult corporate espionage! Welcome to THE COMPANY, an enormous, hugely profitable mega-corporation set in a modern-day twist on The Forgotten Realms. On your first day you'll meet your co-workers, form an "Adventuring Party" (an archaic term for a company taskforce), and be assigned a variety of missions that will see you investigating the seedy underbelly of a modern metropolis, making deals with devils, and travelling across the multiverse...! On public transportation, of course. THE COMPANY isn't made of money, after all! As you complete missions, a large-scale interconnected mystery will slowly emerge. Take matters into your own hands and shape the future of the city, the planet, and - most importantly of all - THE COMPANY! I am thrilled to be running this campaign again. I have run it twice before and both times lead to some of the most memorable, magical memories I have had playing tabletop games. A Session 0 will establish some base information about what players can expect, what they want from the game, and what they are comfortable with. I have thousands of hours of GMing experience under my belt and have been enjoying the hobby since I was a teenager. I am happy to take into consideration exactly what players want from the game, the level of expected difficulty, the level of help players would like with the mysteries, and the level of complexity and danger to expect from Combat. I err towards "less frequent but deadlier" than most tables, but as previously stated am happy to adjust. Based on the whims of the party, the game can include novel new mechanics based on downtime activities, working overtime, making rent, and forging friendships. In addition to being a GM, I am a game designer with several TTRPGs under my belt, so enjoy incorporating fun new mechanics and game elements where appropriate. We will be using the 2024 rules for Dungeons and Dragons. I will provide each player with a PDF as well as form-fillable character sheets. Depending on how familiar players are with the game, I am happy to provide help with character creation/builds, backstory, and the general coming-to-terms with the gameplay system. This game is 100% LGBTQ+ friendly! The exact time and frequency of play can be discussed with players during a Session 0 to make sure it is easy and doable for everyone.
