About the adventure
You may one day rise to become a legendary thaumaturge or even walk the mist-veiled paths of the Wanderlands alongside creatures whispered of in tavern tales—but yours is not such a beginning. Not yet. You were born in the Dales: a secluded valley nestled high among ancient, brooding peaks where the seasons pass like old songs and the outside world is little more than myth. Perhaps you're a farmer, coaxing life from stubborn soil. A village cook, flame and spice your only sorcery. Or a local guard, your blade drawn more often to settle tavern disputes than to face real danger. Life here is simple, slow, and rooted in generations of memory. You know the wind. It dances in the barley fields and hums through the timber of weatherworn cottages. It carries laughter during summer revels and the scent of wildflowers after spring rains. You’ve heard it sigh through the trees and whisper secrets to those who dare to listen. Sometimes—on rare, restless nights—it carries dreams of distant places, too fleeting to grasp, like petals swept downriver. But the wind has changed. Now, it keens as it threads the shattered stones of a long-forgotten tower. Shadows shift at the edge of the forest where no beast should tread. Crows gather at twilight, watching with unsettling patience. A brittle cold has crept into the night air, outlasting the frost and burrowing into bone. Something ancient stirs beneath the roots of the world, and the land holds its breath. What has slept is beginning to wake. And so too must you.
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.
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.

How to prepare
I run this game using a HOMEBREW take of the LEGEND IN THE MIST RPG ruleset, and you can find the FREE Quickstart for this system on the https://cityofmist.co/ website. Players will need a MIC and WEBCAM as well as a DISCORD account (which is FREE).
What I provide
almost all PDF's produced by Son Of Oak the creators of CITY OF MIST RPG, Digital Art, Hand Drawn Art and digital maps and content as the situation requires, I have a lot of PDFs and ARTWORK.
Gameplay details
This Game contains elements of HORROR, Demons and supernatural themes; it also contains pseudo-religious elements with visceral combat description notes suitable for the faint of heart, this of course is tempered against comedic moments that always creep into most games. Blood and Gore are commonplace, SAFETY TOOL: In my games, the most important safety tool for your use is the Discord private message feature. I have been DMing weekly using DISCORD since 2016. That’s quite a lot of hours gaming and so far PM the GM seems to work. Also, note that I use an open-door policy so that anyone can leave or take a break from the game for their safety and well-being without being judged. All that is required is DM me just to say you need a TIME-OUT. and if there are any Big Issues that can be talked through honestly and respectfully between myself and the player. For my games, they go for 3 to 4 hours so having a short built-in break about halfway through is essential and is recommended to allow people to stay focused or for other needs like getting food/drink during this time.

How will character creation work
Will session 0 be free? Unfortunately, No. But if we get to the end of the week 1 session and everything is GROOVY, then I will refund week 1. This is to protect my time in the getting-to-know-you bit, Character creation will be done together at session zero. This will be done in the game and shouldn't take long at all, After this point in their own time, I will expect players to bring a character picture from any source or hand-drawn, and a backstory. The character sheets will be present on a live Google Sheets document.
