1999 - The Technocyte Crisis
Dungeons & Dragons 5e | Campaign
About the adventure
The year is 1999. You are a squad of spec-ops soldiers who have been inserted into Prague as a counter-terrorist unit. The city has been attacked with a biological weapon, resulting in thousands of deaths and a citywide lockdown. The group responsible - The Blacklight Collective - have threatened to unleash this virus on the western world if their demands aren't met. Your job is to make sure they never get the chance.
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.
Combat Heavy
“Combat Heavy” games emphasize the combat mechanics within their systems over roleplay or puzzle solving. There are frequent and longer battles with enemies and a greater emphasis on tactical game play.

What I provide
I have a Foundry VTT license and pay for hosting that we'll use for our games, as well as entire gigabytes of maps that I've bought and collected over the years, playlists of thematic music, and a bunch of fun voices and NPCs. I'm all for the rule of cool, but combat will be fast-paced and high-octane.
Gameplay details
Lines and veils are discussed and recorded during Session Zero, along with setting expectations for themes and tone of the campaign and characters. I end every session with Stars & Wishes, so that we always end on a positive note that often uplifts the deeds of other players.

How will character creation work
We'll discuss character ideas in the discord server, and do the actual character creation together during Session Zero. Come to the table with a few ideas, and be prepared to pivot when collaborating with the rest of the crew.
