About the adventure
"On cold misten hills, beast witsome and fell In holdings and havens the vassals adwell Seers know the all, the start and the end Myths hushed aloud to which truth must abend Aside vagabonds on snakelene trails Knights render these stories awrenched from their veils For the oath, for the glory, through sorrow and ache The City, that quest to which no knight can make" Take the Oath and venture into Mythic Bastionland0, an old school style Tabletop RPG set in the imagined past of Into the Odd and Electric Bastionland. Expect sandbox exploration, strange myths, and the clash of steel, all driven by player decisions and a world in flux. Challenges and hazards are life-threatening, so use your wits and creativity to overcome it. Combat is fast and dangerous, but with more tactical options compared to most old school style games. There will be a FREE SESSION 0.

About me
My name is Isaac and I have been playing Tabletop Role-Playing Games (TTRPGs) since 2016. I am a video game Narrative Designer and a freelance film reviewer. I am also a DMsGuild writer for three adventure modules. But my D&D 5e days are over, and I prefer to run other systems instead. I reside in Jakarta, Indonesia, but that does not stop me from running games for people around the world. Some of my longest-playing players are from Canada, Mexico, and India. Through TTRPGs, I have married the love of my life, forged long-lasting friendships, and share my love of the hobby. Due to my current financial situation, and with the encouragement of my friends & players, I have decided to become a GM for Hire. I am currently running two Pathfinder 2e paid campaigns, and have previously run a D&D 5e paid campaign and two Call of Cthulhu paid campaigns. I will say my experience with various TTRPG systems have made me use the things that I have learned from those games and apply it to all of my games. My focus on story, narrative, immersion, and well-paced timing & moments will be something that you can look forward to. Horror, Mystery, Thriller, and Sociopolitical stories are my expertise, but I am also willing to run games that are outside of that. You can find my players testimonies and reviews of my GMing in this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1V9zbLrQyO6Pi1bf1gSa7zank-eYz23R4VLOQp80z7R4/edit?usp=sharing I will see you at my table!

We will be using their server to play in Foundry VTT. (You do not need to buy Foundry to create a Forge account. Forge is the server provider for Foundry)
What Keeper GM Isaac brings to the table
I shall be using Foundry VTT, complete with free Mythic Bastionland compendium. You can expect maps and images for visual aids. Expect character voices and immersive ambient music to help you immerse yourself in the game! I have a lot of fun doing voices and I believe music is very important to build the game's mood. The game will be a hexcrawl exploration, with focus on exploration. Social and Combat encounters may be a part of the game, depending on how the players approach them.

How Keeper GM Isaac creates a safe table
In our Session 0, we will discuss any trigger warnings that the players have. We use Lines & Veils. We will take breaks after an hour passes in the session. If you need to take your own break, please do, as long as you at least let me know personally. After the session ends, we may discuss about the session, what happened, anything that needs to be talked about.
