About the adventure
Spring is coming! And in the village of Ravenhome, that means everyone is celebrating the Spring Renewal. You have all come from near and far to enjoy the festivities, but there are ill omens on the wind. An ancient spirit has turned its wrath upon the festival; if it is not stopped, the village will be consumed by madness and destruction. We are running Legend in the Mist's starter scenario "The Heap-Thing of Skunk Glen". This is an introduction to the Legend in the Mist, so if you're curious about the system and looking for an opportunity to learn, you've come to the right place. Will you save the village's bright future, or will the ancient past drag it down into the mire?

About me
Greetings everybody! Call me Nathan (he/him)! I am a storyteller at heart who loves all forms of fiction. I run games ranging from pulpy sci-fi to gritty fantasy and everything in between. I especially love weird or non-standard settings. Superheroes in a cyberpunk city? Time-traveling fantasy adventure? Teenagers on a supernatural road trip? I'm all here for it. I believe that tabletop RPGs are a unique storytelling experience where everyone at the table becomes both author and audience to the shared story. Facilitating this shared storytelling experience is my primary goal as a GM. My games do not make use of generative AI for writing, music, or images. Storytelling is a fundamentally human experience, and synthesized plagiarism has no place in my games. I look forward to sharing stories with you! Profile picture created by Neo!

You will be choosing from five premade characters at the start of the game. These premade characters unnamed and gender neutral, allowing you to personalize your character as you see fit. All you have to bring is yourself!

What Nathan Patrick Lane brings to the table
I am running "The Heap-Thing of Skunk Glen", the official starter adventure for Legend in the Mist. For this game, I will be providing a Foundry server with art, music, and premade characters. As a GM, I have years of experience with City of Mist, the system that Legend in the Mist is based on. I have also run the Tinderbox Demo several times and backed Legend in the Mist on Kickstarter. If you want to learn the game from someone who truly understands the system, I'm the GM for you.

How Nathan Patrick Lane creates a safe table
Before the game, I'll be private messaging all the players one-on-one to discuss Lines, Veils, and Wishes. We will run over these before we select characters and begin the game. We will also use a variant of X Card system called Editing Tools. Editing Tools allow players to Pause the game temporarily, Fast Forward through unpleasant content, or Rewind and rewrite the scene to avoid triggering content. Bigotry will not be tolerated in this group. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or other prejudiced behaviors will warrant an immediate kick.
