We Deal In Lead - Gunslingers of Avalon

Cairn | Campaign

About the adventure

FIRST SESSION FREE "Here lies King Arthur. The Once and Future King" The King is dead, and Avalon has fallen. Evil and darkness creep in from every corner of the land and only a handful The Gunslingers of Camelot remain. Trying to restore light in this once beautiful land of magic and adventure. What used to be a brotherhood of noble warriors is now but a handful of lonely cowboys, trying desperately to restore the crown and keep the armies of Mordred at bay - one bullet at a time. Based on the Legends of King Arthur and set in a world just a stone's throw away from Stephen King's "Dark Tower" series, this campaign will be based on "We Deal In Lead" by By Odin's Beard RPG. Who will you become; The Noble Lancelot, Fastest Trigger in the West; or Sir Gawain, a young initiate into the order pursued endlessly by a demonic bounty hunter clad entirely in green? High Noon can be the darkest time and will the light in your heart be enough to restore the light. If all else fails, you can point your six-shooter and hope for the best.

Game style

Theater of the Mind

“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.

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.

How to prepare

This game will use FoundryVTT's in built video chat system so a functional computer and mic are required, with a webcam being preferred but not essential. This game will also be hosted on the Forge server, so a login to that is required. This can be done for free at the below link: https://eu.forge-vtt.com/account/signup Other than that, just picture your character and prepare for advernture

What I provide

There will be animations and animated maps to allow for theatre of the mind style gameplay. Experienced vocal performances and deep, well-rounded NPCs. This will use music to punctuate key moments and set the tone. There will also be use of video and voice chat, directly in the virtual tabletop

Gameplay details

This is a high fantasy setting with evil monsters that will do what they can to make the players feel hopeless. This will be a grimdark setting but ultimately, player comfort and enjoyment is always the most important aspect of any game. This will use both the Luxton Technique and an Open Door policy so that we can create a safe and comfortable environment for everyone
