About the adventure
REDEMPTION 1-01: Welcome to the Jungle | Intro to the Everyday Heroes If you have ever wanted to play the new version of "D20 Modern" this is your chance. Its a quick 2 to 4 hour game and we will mostly be using the Everyday Heroes Quick Start Rules. I will have 1st level pregens ready to go! I will be using Foundry VTT and Discord. ADVENTURE SUMMARY The heroes in Welcome to the Jungle are employed by the shadowy, international secret agency REDEMPTION. As such they will likely have been drawn from the very best armed forces and government institutions around the globe. Most will be of a military bent, though this includes medics, scientists, assassins and various other specialists. Indeed, the broader mix of skills the party contains, the greater the chance of their success.he heroes in Welcome to the Jungle are employed by the shadowy, international secret agency REDEMPTION. As such they will likely have been drawn from the very best armed forces and government institutions around the globe. Most will be of a military bent, though this includes medics, scientists, assassins and various other specialists. Indeed, the broader mix of skills the party contains, the greater the chance of their success. Officially, REDEMPTION doesn’t exist. Unofficially, they are a shadow organization created by some members of the UN that believe more could be done to help people in need around the world but might be officially prevented from doing so. They’re independent, so while patron countries can give them directions and ASK them to do certain tasks, they’re not required to do so. They’re also independently funded, through their own activities and through some donations they occasionally receive from the founders and those they help, once they’re able to do so. Aside from that, they’re a second... and sometimes LAST chance for those who’ve fallen off the grid, but whose skills are still useful. It’s a chance for folks to make a difference and change the world for a better place. It’s risky, no doubt, but for some the work suits them. Disturbing reports have come from the Brazilian Amazon about the fate of Grayson McGuire, an investigative reporter, and his TV crew. He went into the rainforest three weeks ago for reasons unknown. The last anyone heard of him was when he made a satellite call from the middle of the jungle and gave a garbled account of “ghosts” and a “phantom shaman” – but surely, that can’t be true? REDEMPTION is sending their best agents into the field with instructions to find out exactly what happened.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a mic and discord at a minimum. I will be using a webcam but you will not need to.
What Matt brings to the table
I use a lot of visual stuff, music and sound effects! Lots of combat, and we will try to stick to rules as written so we can learn the Everyday Heroes rules! I will be using a webcam with discord but you do not have to if you don't want to.
