About the adventure
The urban campaign is the promise of freedom: where PCs are encouraged to move about in three dimensions, plotting their heists from damp alleyways, fog-slick rooftops and foul sewers; where a quick tongue and clever wit is more deadly than the sharpest blade; where PC creativity, audacity, and roguish luck carry the day. Welcome to Valla'Tair, Rom'Myr's last great city on the edge of time, with its promise of exotic bazaars, forbidden seraglios, diabolical sorcerers and heathen cults, where lives are measured in silver and where - with enough gold - anything is possible. Had enough of the rough and tumble city life? Pass through the Ash Gate and explore the endlessly fascinating world of Rom'Myr, where forgotten knowledge an unknown artifacts wait to be discovered. Rom'Myr is a "Dying Earth". Dying Earth is a subgenre of science fantasy which takes place in the far future at the end of life on Earth, when the laws of the universe themselves fail. Dominant themes include world-weariness, innocence, idealism, entropy, heat death of the universe, exhaustion or depletion of many or all resources, and the hope of renewal.

About me
This is Old-School! Hi, I'm Jay and I run pretty good games, usually something released in the early days of the hobby. I find a firm grip on the genre being run has more of an impact then system does overall. My games are going to appeal to players looking to interact with their fellow players around the table, and roll real dice out their hands. I will bring quality adventures built on the best stuff available. I deliver living game worlds for the following genres - Pulp Sword & Sorcery, Age of Sail, Supernatural Horror, Gritty Sci-Fi, Dying Earth Fantasy, Space Opera, and Contemporary Super Heroes. Original content supported by published materials and unique adventure content. World-wide time zone scheduling available (US Based)
