About the adventure
You are a high fay creature living in royal luxury. The problem is you have developed morals over your centuries of being. You, along with other members of a small group of elites have been invited to the Grand Gala by Queen Tianna. The ball will be in celebration of the renewal ceremony where all of the magic that has been spent in the last cycle is regathered and redistributed amongst the elite, for you all to give it how you please. The more in favor a court, the bigger the portion of magic. You have recently joined a group of like-minded fay that believe it wrong that only high fay can control magic and the fay world as a whole. During the Gala, surrounded by other royals and nobles, you will all stand up against the system and fix the magic disparity, and fight for the equality of the lower fay.

About me
Itching for adventure and immersive storytelling? Then I'm your GM! A kind fae that would definitely never steal your name, soul, or anything else of the sort, and I resent the accusation! I have a background in theatre and years of playing pretend in the woods, so expect lots of over the top roleplay, whimsy, and lots of in depth worlds! I place a lot of important on open communication, rule simplifying, and above all else, having a great time. Of course, new players are more than welcome at all of my games! I love building worlds that feel lived in, with a lot of culture and many individual characters. I also LOVE taking the ideas my players give me, and running with them. So don't be surprised when that one small joke you made during character creation comes back at a large scale in the story! I am flexible, adapt to my player's needs and put great effort in my games. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!

Creating your character
We will have a private character creation call where we will discuss the rules of the system and your character. We will build what kind of fay they are, what court they are a part of, their relations with the other courts and nobles, and why they are joining the revolution against the queen! Then we will go over the character sheet together. When we have the session we will spend a short time answering questions to quickly connect the characters and clarify and game plans.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Discord account so we can all call and play. Once you are in the discord we will schedule your character creation call. You should also think of what kinds of archetypes or character you would be excited to explore.
What Alex Teatime brings to the table
Expect lots of character voices and emotional exploration, I am a RP heavy GM, so while there will be lots of combat and antagonists, expect an emphasis on the story telling aspect of the game. The mechanics are there to help guide us, not to tell the story for us! I will also have a slideshow made with the important rules you may need for the game to run smoothly, that way you don't need to have the whole rulebook out in front of you, unless you're into that sort of thing ;)

Safety
How Alex Teatime creates a safe table
We will go over safety tools during our character creation process and again before play time. We'll outline any things that players are not comfortable with exploring as well as things that might be mentioned but we don't want to go into detail about. My number one priority is making sure everyone is having fun and feel safe! That being said there will talk about classism and superiority due to the nature of the story. As well as violence, revolutions don't come easy! But we will of course discuss how comfortable people are with details and if it ever goes a little father than a player is comfortable with, they may message me or say something and I will pause the scene and we will reassess.
