About the adventure
You and other heroes shall follow the steps of the heroic Orpheusa and descend into the mythical land of Hades to achieve a godly quest: save a person close to your heart from the death, obtain a blessing from the Underworld God themselves, write your name in the myths or just to gain friends among the way. 🔥 Face the Trials of the Underworld: From the fiery depths of Tartarus to the blooming groves of Asphodel, the Underworld shifts and tests your resolve. Each domain holds dangers, mysteries, and choices that shape your journey. 💘 Forge Bonds with the Dead: Meet infamous souls like Sisyphus, Eurydice, and Patroclus. Will you befriend them, provoke them, or pursue romance in the land where love and tragedy intertwine? 🔱 Claim the Favors of the Divine: Seek the aid of Olympians and Chthonic powers alike. Each god offers their own boons and blessings, but their aid comes with rivalries, demands, and divine drama that may change the course of your quest. ⚔️ Tell a Myth of Your Own Making: Every decision, every alliance, and every triumph shapes how your story will be remembered. Will you rise as a hero sung by poets, a cautionary tale whispered by shades, or something else entirely? Expect dramatic choices, shifting relationships, and high-stakes encounters as you navigate both the dangers of the Underworld and the hearts of those within it. This game is inspired by heavily acclaimed video game "Hades" by Supergiant Games.

About me
Looking for an immersive, narrative-driven RPG experience? I’m a professional GM with over 16 years of experience running TTRPGs, spanning D&D 5e & 3.5e, Call of Cthulhu, Vampire: The Masquerade, Cyberpunk: Red, Blades in the Dark, and even my own custom system built on Fuzion, set in a rich fantasy-medieval world. If you are interested in any of these, but available campaigns and one-shots don't work for you - message me directly or use the Custom Booking option. I run games on Foundry VTT & Discord, enhanced with custom scenarios, dynamic music, and a dedicated journal to keep track of the world and your journey. If you’re looking for a consistent, high-quality game where storytelling and player agency shine - let’s roll the dice! My first encounter with TTRPG was playing DnD 3.5e at my local library when I was still in primary school. Since then, I have been regularly playing and DM'ing. I've used to professionally DM for teens and kids as young as 6 years old at summer camps, as well as at Fantasy Conventions for the Polish publisher of Call of Cthullu.

Creating your character
Character creation will happen on a session zero. I'm going to help with everything you will need to create an queer of your dreams that works within the rules of Thirsty Sword Lesbians.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
What you will need: ✔ A working microphone (a web cam is also nice, but not a necessity)* ✔ A stable internet connection ✔ PC or laptop (smartphone or a good tablet should also work)* ✔ An adventuring spirit No Experience Needed: New to Thirsty Sword Lesbians? Don't worry — I’ll guide you through it. This adventure is open for everybody - queer or not. How to prepare: ✔ Sign up to Discord (free account) and join my server (invitation will be sent after you joined the campaign) ✔ Sign up to Roll20 (free account) ✔ Get to know the rest of your fellow queers ✔ Envision your queer - try to get an idea of who you want to play ✔ You might read some rules (not required - I can explain everything for you) Before the session: ✔ Configure your Discord to ensure everything is in order ✔ Ensure you have enough time and quiet place to play ✔ Get yourself any snacks or drinks (stay hydrated!)

Safety
How Gustaw creates a safe table
The most important safety tool for us will be a session zero, when we will discuss everything we want and don't want to happen during the campaign. RPG Consent Checklist will allow us to remember everything we establish and stick to it. I can explain all safety tools in detail during session zero. While both Player Characters and NPCs will have flaws, which might include prejudices like sexism, racism, homophobia (broad anti-LGBTQ+ views) or religious fanaticism, those harmful preconceptions are not allowed at the table and players who exhibit them will be excluded from playing. If you want your adventurer to share some of those negative ideas (for example - so they can overcome them in an impactful story arc) you must first discuss it with me and the whole group, to ensure everybody will feel comfortable. Members of the crew are meant to work together as a team. Any disputes or antagonism between players' characters should be consensual and mild, so they won't derail the campaign nor bleed into the real world. Tabletop role-playing games are meant to be a fun way to express yourself and spend some quality time. Those rules and tools exist not to limit you as a player, but to guarantee that everyone is having a great time.
