In Limen: the Stray Dream [Magical Girls, Death, and Self]

Afterlife: Wandering Souls, Glitter Hearts | Campaign

About the adventure

You are recently deceased. You know that, but you don't remember how you died. Or much of who you are, for that matter. You are in a purgatory-like world searching for fragments of yourself so you can find your way to your final resting place. Transform into your magical-girl (gender neutral) form, enter Dreams, fight off Nightmares, and recover Fragments. Inspired by media such as Sailor Moon, Madoka Magica, Cardcaptor Sakura, Utena, Yume Nikki, LSD Dream Emulator, Ib, Silent Hill, Little Nightmares, etc. You will find yourself in a city-like hub that splits off into different mirages, or dreams. Some dreams are abstract, some have more form, some are derived from memories. These dreams have their own residents, as well as their own dangers. In the hub, some residents want to help you along, and some want to drag you down with them, or worse. The paths to find yourself will be difficult and painful - where does your soul belong, after all? In the end, you will ultimately make that decision. Find yourself or succumb to the stray dreams.

a very fun GM, Altamirage has fostered such a supportive community and runs amazing games. and with the amount of fun shenanigans they allow they're willing to do to have fun is amazing. I wish for the best for them and I want them to continue making insane stories with their players. 10/10, would steal my pet rat's rent money to join another game.

I joined one of Alta's currently ongoing campaigns, and they immediately made me feel so welcome and helped me to understand a system that I had never played before. They are such a great storyteller, and they will work with you to bring your characters to life. I couldn't recommend them enough!

Alta is a player, a GM, and a friend of mine at this point. Very good at guiding the narrative and playing different characters, always rewards player creativity and knows how to foster wholesome and funny moments at the safe space they make at the table with surprising finesse. Their experience shows in each role they play, and in each table they run. Wholeheartedly reccomend being their player, it's a very fun experience.

Alta is by far one of the best DMs I've had over many years of playing. Always makes sure everyone is seen and heard. The stories they tell are just so fun and amusing, but they also can pull on your heartstrings with serious and emotionally intense scenes. If you got time check them out and give them a shot

Alta is an incredible storyteller who creates tables that feel safe and welcoming. They create vibrant games full of creativity and excitement and I always have such a fun time at their tables. Ever a champion of "yes, and?", you can tell that Alta wants their players to feel epic and heroic and celebrates your successes with you. Want to hand your GM story knives with which to stab you with? Alta has got you, and they even have a few more suggestions to make it extra spicy! If you get the chance, I highly recommend securing yourself a spot at a table.

I love playing with Alta, they always have such great NPCs and world building! I find myself immersed in their games and always wanting more. Cannot wait to play more with them and find what their next game has in store for me and my character <3

How to prepare

All you NEED is a mic. Cameras are great because I love having visuals and it makes communication easier for me, but they are not required! Rules, character creation, etc will happen Session 0.

What I provide

Since this is such a narrative heavy game, there won't be combat maps, etc. I will provide NPC art!

Gameplay details

(Please note: MANY content warnings have been added. These are potential precautions, depending on the comfort level of the group, what they want to explore with their characters, and what they red card. These content warnings are to let you know that I am willing to work with a group with great communication, touch base frequently, etc so that everyone is comfortable with the level of pain we want to inflict on our characters. Torture porn isn't the goal here. We want to tell meaningful stories through our characters' deaths, and lives.) Hard rules for all my games: NO racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, bigotry, etc. That includes fantasy versions (ie: "all orcs are born evil and therefore do x"). NO SA, noncon, torture. (Said things can be allowed, with approval, in PC backstories, and do exist in NPC backstories, but will not be directly mentioned or described) And... we're here to have fun!! <3 Will send a form pregame for lines/veils/etc. Will message to go over what kind of game everyone wants to play ("i hate puzzles" "i love combat" etc), touching base on things we don't want in the game, talking character dynamics, working on character sheets, explaining gameplay, etc After games, I usually chat (in call or in discord) with everyone and joke around - I always try to balance out the harsh with humor, and I check in with everyone after a rough session. X cards will be whatever you are most comfortable with. <3
