About the adventure
You are not a legendary warrior or a master of the arcane, at least, not yet. You are a local soul living a quiet life in a peaceful corner of the world, but as an ancient protection fades and a strange mist threatens your home, you must find the courage to become the hero your village needs. 🏠 From Villager to Legend Start Small: Begin as a local craftsperson or farmer with deep roots in your community. Grow Stronger: Watch your character evolve from a simple neighbor into a seasoned protector. 🔍 Uncover the Mystery Investigate the Mist: Search for the source of a creeping darkness that hasn't been seen in centuries. Find Ancient Truths: Piece together forgotten secrets to restore the safety of your home. 🍂 A World That Lives and Breathes Feel the Seasons: Experience a story that moves from the festivals of spring to the cold dread of winter. See Your Impact: Your decisions determine which parts of your village thrive and which are lost to the dark. ⚔️ Immersive & Accessible Play Total Immersion: Enjoy a "slow-burn" narrative focused on atmosphere, emotion, and meaningful choices. Zero Barrier to Entry: Perfect for new players, learn the rules and the world naturally as you play.

About me
My tables are for players who want their choices to have weight, to feel the ripple effects of their actions in a world that feels alive. My background in Social Sciences and Public Administration means I build worlds with depth. ⚖️ Real Consequences: Expect intricate political webs and NPCs driven by realistic motivations. Your decisions will have tangible, cascading consequences that permanently alter the world. 📖Narrative Sovereignty: I think of myself more as an "enabler" than a storyteller. I believe in giving players narrative control. I ask for players input and then weave the history of the places you find and the interconnected relations of the characters you meet. You are a co-architect of the adventure. 🌎 An International Storyteller As a Brazilian Game Master, I bring a unique cultural perspective to my storytelling, and a professional approach I've shared with players at events like GenCon's Portuguese track. The narratives we build are infused with a different rhythm and a global flavor. I am fluent in English and Portuguese, and I foster a diverse, international community at my tables. If you are a player who craves exploration with real stakes and wants to see your character's legacy written into the fabric of a believable world, then your seat is waiting.

Creating your character
Your legend begins in our free Session 0, which we call the Prologue. You don't need to bring a character. Instead, I will personally guide each of you through the creation process, we'll build your heroes together.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
To keep everything organized, all players will need a Discord account and join my server. It’ll be our main hub for chatting, sharing files, and running Session 0. discord.com/register We’ll also be using FoundryVTT to play the game.

Safety
How Gabriel Olive creates a safe table
This is an inclusive and safe table. We will have a comprehensive Session 0 to discuss themes, set boundaries using tools like Lines and Veils, and ensure the game is tailored to the comfort and enjoyment of the entire group. My goal is to create a space for challenging storytelling, not uncomfortable players.
