Fabula Ultima - Your JRPG Adventure!
Fabula Ultima | Campaign
About the adventure
Collaboratively craft an original JRPG-inspired world, before taking charge of its story as a band of lovable heroes! Take your place among the pantheon of classic JRPG protagonists and defeat the terrible Villains in an all-new adventure! Using Fabula Ultima's cooperative world creation process, we will work together in our session 0 to create an expansive world with varied cultures, histories and plotlines for our heroes to explore. Then, I'll flesh it out into a professional campaign! Our party of adventurers will set forth in a world of our collective making to help others, fight monsters, and save the world!
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.
Rules as Written (RaW)
Games that are ran “Rules as Written” emphasize realism and stick to the letter of the rules, allowing players to explore creative solutions while still operating under a consistent rule set. Players have the ability to utilize the rules in creative ways to create awesome characters and moments in the game.
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.

I have been in only one session with Li, but it was so much fun! Li is very good at giving everyone their own attention!! Plus, the atmosphere and vibe are just perfect!! Li really knows how to make you laugh but also draw you in emotionally!! So much fun!!

Liam is an enthusiastic Game Master who cares deeply about the players and their characters. Everyone gets their moment to shine, and your character is guaranteed to have an epic progression. Liam brings your unique goals and backstories in and will work closely with you to flesh out your character and make them a real part of the world. The games have a nice mix of action, character exploration, drama, and comedy, and Liam's ideas are super creative. Liam fosters a supportive and friendly environment through jokes, icebreaker questions, and activities that have brought our game group closer together. All in all I absolutely love being a part of Liam's games and couldn't recommend them more.

Liam runs a very inclusive game and allows everyone’s character a chance to shine. The game I am apart of has been super fun and I’m always looking forward to each new session.

Liam is an amazing GM! They work very hard to incorporate player characters into the world, have a deep understanding of the genre they are working in, and are supportive of players of all experience levels. I’ve had a blast during every session I’ve played with them and always look forward to the next one.

Liam is very good at balancing system rules with player creativity. I have greatly enjoyed my past sessions with him because of how much he allows for PCs to blossom into truly realized characters. Definitely play a game with him if you get the chance!

I had a wonderful time playing with Liam. In the very first session they wove together all the player character's backstories expertly creating an already deep and rich basis for role playing right from the start. Their storytelling talent extended to the cinematic opening scene setting the atmosphere and the action packed combat scene. I'd recommend that everyone give Liam a try if they can!

How to prepare
Players should have functioning microphones and be confident in their computer's ability to run Owlbear Rodeo, as well as be able to participate in voice calls with minimal disruptions. No installations are necessary. I allow you to roll either physical or digital dice, and I'm not going to hound after you to validate each roll if I can't immediately see it.
What I provide
A growing library of Fabula Ultima materials, a curated VTT experience via Owlbear Rodeo, and custom soundtracks to keep us in the mood! I also love to fully act out my NPCs and characters, as well as giving dramatic narration to truly set the scene.
Gameplay details
The content warnings tagged are things I believe should be assumed for this adventure, although given that it isn't, by nature, a pre-written or planned adventure, there's a high probability that one or more of them will never show up in this campaign. I don't expect too much in the way of triggering content in these adventures, but just in case, we have a variety of safety tools in place in order to make sure everyone is safe and well throughout the adventure. Players can expect a fun, relaxed and respectful environment, with a focus on roleplay. Beginners are welcome, and I'm happy to take the time to help newcomers understand the flow of play. I will be holding a session 0 to establish rules, boundaries, and expectations for the group in order to keep everything fun and safe for everyone, as well as to review player characters, answer questions and talk about preferences.

How will character creation work
During the session 0, we'll determine what kind of world your stories will be playing out in - whether it be techno, high fantasy or another genre altogether. That's when we'll start making concepts of your characters. You are more than welcome to come to the s0 with a certain build you'd like to play in mind, but the actual character concept should remain fluid until we're finished establishing the world. Characters will, as is standard in Fabula Ultima, start at level 5, with class levels spread across a minimum of two classes and a maximum of three. They will be made using the Ultimate Story extension for Owlbear Rodeo (which can be further accessorized with GIFs to help visualize your actions and spells!).
