About the adventure
Interested in learning about Essence20, the game system used for Power Rangers, GI Joe, Transformers, and My Little Pony? Want to join a group of teenagers with attitude and save Angel Grove? Then this game will be for you! We will be playing with the Essence20 game system, explaining how the system works and showing how it is similar and different compared to other game systems.
Game style
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Ever wanted to be a Power Ranger, hanging out with friends, then morphin' to stop a Monster of the Week? Well now you can!

How to prepare
Players will need a microphone in order to interact with the GM and the rest of the players, Discord downloaded, and an account on Roll20. Players may roll with their own physical dice, or use the dice rolling in Roll20.
What I provide
I bring illustrations and maps.
Gameplay details
In Session Zero, we will go over the basics on how an Essence 20 game is played, as well as character creation. We will discuss the use of the X, N, and O cards on Roll20, and how Discord will be incorporated into the gameplay. For aftercare, I handle that individually as an "Open Door" policy of players being allowed to come to me and state their feelings separately so they don't feel pressured in the moment.

How will character creation work
Character creation will happen during Session Zero, including relationship building and specification to help give players a starting point for how they're characters interact with each other. If players wish to go with a premade character, that's fine too! I will bring some premade characters to choose from.
