About the adventure

A ragtag band of gunslinging outlaws get their hands dirty in the greasy alleyways and whisky-soaked saloons of Alkenstar, the City of Smog. To get revenge on the mogul who destroyed them, the renegades will have to stick up an illicit bank, foil a crooked shieldmarshal, and escort a reclusive inventor to safety. All the while, countless rough-and-tumble rivals aim to waylay the party and seize the inventor's latest concoction: pyronite, an explosive substance with the potential to change the face of the world. In a city where the clockwork guards are literally as tough as brass, the antiheroes will need true grit to dole out overdue justice.

About me

Forever DM for almost 6 years. Prefers rules as written but will always go with the Rule of Cool first! Uses Foundry VTT and Roll20. I try not to let sessions run more 3-4 hours, personally experience is people check out around then lol.

I have played several games with Wayne spread throughout a few years. Always does a great job engaging all of the players, setting a clear story, entertaining players' concerns/interests/creativity, and making it an overall fun experience!

I've played with Wayne in the past, before he did this professionally and he was talented then. He's only upped his game in recent years since I last played. His ability to even weave character stories into Pre-made adventure modules gives them a more personal feel and makes you feel more invested in your character and the story they inhabit. Along with his willingness to be flexible when stuff just sounds like an awesome story moment makes him a joy to play for.

How Wayne creates a safe table

Players can expect games to be played by a realistic rule of cool and rules as written. Ive set up foundry to handle automation so i can focus more on story telling. I have mods installed that allow a player to pause the action if anything gets too much.
