About the adventure
Heavily inspired by my favorite JRPG, Okage: Shadow King (or Boku to Mao). No experience with the game required <3 Everyone has their part to play! In the world of Overshadowed, everyone is given a "class," or "classification," from birth. It's just normal that everyone follows along with what class they were assigned. Assigned Town Fool at birth? Sucks, but at least you'll make people laugh! Pushed into the trope of Daring Hero? Better gather up that courage and learn swordplay! Inherited your father's Sad Musician class? Time to learn all the sad songs you can. But... what of those who deviate? Well... they don't exist (: And yet here you are. You are a group of ragtag adventurers who... have never quite fit in. And now, in some strange turn of fate, you have found yourself together, right when the Princess is in danger! Band together, explore the strange lands, and unravel the mystery of Classes. Who decided your Class, anyway..? (No, the big reveal won't be "you're characters in a video game" haha) Fabula Ultima is a delightful system using heavy inspiration from JRPGs! We build the setting, etc together, so who knows what awaits our characters..? We each will bring inspirations we want incorporated into the setting's vibe; I, for example, always want to bring in a little Crystal Chronicles (beautiful, dark, meaningful) and Okage: Shadow King (whimsical, spoopy, trope heavy). Once we've decided the vibe, some villains or story beats, then we dive into the exciting part: character creation! I personally have never had so much fun trying to make broken characters in a TTRPG.

About me
I'm a 31yo nonbinary artist whose passion lies in storytelling! The most important things to me in ttrpgs are fun, roleplay, and story (including player characters' backstories, not just plot). I've been DMing for about 10 years and playing D&D for about 15. I love homebrew and having the players add onto the setting with locations, plot hooks, NPCs, deities, whatever they (reasonably) want to add! New players always welcome! Being LGBTQ+ myself, obviously this table loves and welcomes LGBTQ+ players! Do not expect a rules lawyer here; the rules are here for me to use as a base, something to fall back on, but ultimately we're here to have fun and do cool things. Rules can and will be waived or bent in my games - but only in the favor of the players, never to try and put you at a disadvantage. I'm here to challenge the player characters and be their guide through the world they explore. Sure, the dice gods may demand a death every once in a blue moon, but I'm 100% the party's biggest fan. This is also a space for us to escape reality; my games DO NOT include racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. either in game or at the table. It will not be tolerated. Yes, that applies to things such as "monstrous" races and their societies. There is no "inherently evil" at my table. The most realistic evil you'll see at my table are capitalists, monarchies, and player characters' horrible families from their tragic backstories. Was a professional player in Hp2Xp and isFriday livestreamed games 'Adventures in Umbranthal' and 'Crypt of the Ruby Dragon,' as well as a recurring player in shows on GirlsRunTheseWorlds! Currently running a magical girl inspired FATE game, 'Auriga Stars,' there! (also: conversational in American Sign Language, sign isn't listed as a language here)

Creating your character
Character creation will happen session 1, though the PDF will be provided and ideas can be discussed beforehand!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
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! Character sheets will be managed on Roll20, maps will be on Roll20.

How Altamirage creates a safe table
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, slavery. (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 if new to the system. 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
