About the adventure
[👥Pre-made Character Sheets Available!👥] Tales of Incidea is an original IP inspired by the stories that inspired me growing up, particularly the fantasy films of Studio Ghibli and The Legend of Zelda series. Take a look at a simple overview of the system here! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1zg9Th_alZ2m_OFxgDcKwbT2a-23buH8d/view?usp=sharing Incidea is a vast and ancient continent home to several peoples, cultures, topographies, and climates. More importantly, it is home to countless tales of courage, danger, and adventure! It is a world both of powerful magick known as wuHir, and a world of countless wuShan nature spirits whose existence is believed to precede that of the land they now inhabit. Ancient secrets lay buried beneath the surface - forgotten ways and relics of the old times - and dangerous bandits scourge the land above. No matter your chosen origins or class, Tales of Incidea: The Roleplaying Game focuses on character-driven stories and growth. Combat: ⚔️⚔️⚔️▪️▪️ There will be plenty of challenging combat encounters in our campaign where you can show off combat techniques and spells you've acquired. The system is designed to be quick and snappy, getting you back into the action as soon as possible. Exploration:🔎🔎🔎🔎▪️▪️ I enjoy letting the table look around and soak up the atmosphere of an area, letting the environment carry the brunt of world-building and storytelling. You are exploring a world with a history, after all! Puzzles: 🧩🧩🧩▪️▪️ Think less "hit four switches in the right order" and more "solve a problem without stabbing it." Not every issue can be overcome in the same way, and thinking outside the box is rewarded. Roleplay: 🎭🎭🎭🎭▪️ Relationships and interactions between characters matter! Even if it's something simple, there will be plenty of chances to get into character and build a story together! Some challenges will only be solvable through social interaction. Comedy: 😆😆▪️▪️▪️ We keep things lighthearted at the table, enjoying the clever and sometimes hilarious interactions we create between PCs and NPCs alike. Come ready to have fun! Musical Tunes: 💿💿💿💿▪️ Music will be a big part of this campaign, setting the tone for battle, travel, and quiet moments. If you've played systems such as Ryuutama, you'll feel right at home with Tales of Incidea! 【PbP Adventures】 This campaign also has Play by Post adventure options, which charge a flat rate for the week. I can guarantee several detailed daily responses that allow you to progress on your adventure at your own pace! Music will still be provided per scene! ★Solo PbP options available!

About me
【Safe Table for All!】《🏳️🌈🏴☠️🌍》 【Beginner Friendly】《🆕🐤🔰》 Hi! I'm Keilan (Key-lin), and I love storytelling! I'm originally from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, but I currently live in Tokyo, Japan. I speak English and Japanese, and a little bit of Mandarin. I'm a writer, animator, artist, conlanger, worldbuilder, and GM (as you can probably tell)! I started running tabletop RPGs shortly after trying them for the first time, and I’ve been hooked ever since. There are few experiences more satisfying than running a game and watching the chemistry between characters come alive. I got my first taste of D&D in 2018, and I've been chasing that high ever since. I’m a massive nerd (aren’t we all here?). Notable loves of mine include Star Wars, The Dark Crystal, The Lord of the Rings, The Legend of Zelda, the works of Studio Ghibli, and space horror like Alien and Dead Space. These interests deeply influence the kinds of role-playing games I run and play. I'm also in the process of designing my own self-published TTRPGs and adventures. When I'm not playing TRPGs, you can find me writing novels, animating silly videos for YouTube, playing retro games, or drawing! Looking forward to sharing lots of memorable moments with you!

Creating your character
We will go over character creation as a free Session 0! Because this is an original system, there will be a small learning curve. However, the game is designed to be simple to play, so don't be concerned about not knowing everything! :)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Discord with a good mic and a web browser are all that's needed :) I can provide the rules beforehand to look through prior to the game.
What Keilan brings to the table
I will provide the virtual tabletop, tokens, maps, music and ambiance, character sheets, rules, cheat sheets, etc. I like to run fast and impactful combat that encourages teamwork, with a focus on theatre-of-the-mind and spotlighting each individual player using the Rule of Cool when possible.
