About the adventure
**NOTE: This is not a game for hardcore minmaxers. This IS a game for those who want to explore more of the setting, story, lore, factions, etc. of Elden Ring through roleplay. Gameplay will NOT be like in Elden Ring. This game is roleplay heavy, character focused, and will explore parts of the setting and lore that we want to see more of. Fabula Ultima is a very fun system and the classes can fit extremely well with ER. The gameplay leans into JRPG-style. Plot: Ye Tarnished... you have gathered together in the Lands Between with a unified goal in mind: to fix this godforsaken realm. You may have met before these goals started to truly manifest, or perhaps you all met while hunting the demigods of the realm. Either way, by now, each of you have received a Great Rune from a demigod you have defeated (translated in FabUlt to an early heroic skill). With a Great Rune in your possession, the power of the demigod is slowly seeping into you. You, now, are beginning to take up the mantle of a demigod. Certainly the path to Elden Lord is laid out before you, but... you can feel this power changing you now. Alongside your companions, explore what godhood means, if individuals can truly make a difference in a world so broken, and if the realm is yet worth saving. Despite the grandeur of "becoming demigods," this will focus on the smaller things (at least at first); quiet nights at the Grace together, encountering strange and fascinating NPCs and growing your relationships with them, traveling the long roads from horror to wonder, and... maybe trying to find that ONE material to upgrade your gear. Eventually we will arrive at grander things, but for now... this is only the beginning.

About me
I'm a 31yo nonbinary artist whose passion lies in storytelling! The most important things to me in ttrpgs are fun, roleplay, and story (including player characters' backstories, not just plot). I've been DMing for about 10 years and playing D&D for about 15. I love homebrew and having the players add onto the setting with locations, plot hooks, NPCs, deities, whatever they (reasonably) want to add! New players always welcome! Being LGBTQ+ myself, obviously this table loves and welcomes LGBTQ+ players! Do not expect a rules lawyer here; the rules are here for me to use as a base, something to fall back on, but ultimately we're here to have fun and do cool things. Rules can and will be waived or bent in my games - but only in the favor of the players, never to try and put you at a disadvantage. I'm here to challenge the player characters and be their guide through the world they explore. Sure, the dice gods may demand a death every once in a blue moon, but I'm 100% the party's biggest fan. This is also a space for us to escape reality; my games DO NOT include racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, etc. either in game or at the table. It will not be tolerated. Yes, that applies to things such as "monstrous" races and their societies. There is no "inherently evil" at my table. The most realistic evil you'll see at my table are capitalists, monarchies, and player characters' horrible families from their tragic backstories. Was a professional player in Hp2Xp and isFriday livestreamed games 'Adventures in Umbranthal' and 'Crypt of the Ruby Dragon,' as well as a recurring player in shows on GirlsRunTheseWorlds! Currently running a magical girl inspired FATE game, 'Auriga Stars,' there! (also: conversational in American Sign Language, sign isn't listed as a language here)

What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you NEED is a mic, Discord acct, and Roll20 acct. Cameras are great because I love having visuals and it makes communication easier for me, but they are not required!
What Altamirage brings to the table
I will provide the Fabula Ultima PDFs, including the additional Atlases, as well as NPC art created by yours truly. Rule of Cool reigns here!

How Altamirage creates a safe table
Hard rules for all my games: NO racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, fatphobia, bigotry, etc. That includes fantasy versions (ie: "all orcs are born evil and therefore do x"). NO SA, noncon, torture, slavery. (Said things can be allowed, with approval, in PC backstories, and do exist in NPC backstories, but will not be directly mentioned or described) And... we're here to have fun!! <3 Will send a form pregame for lines/veils/etc. Will message to go over what kind of game everyone wants to play ("i hate puzzles" "i love combat" etc), touching base on things we don't want in the game, talking character dynamics, working on character sheets, explaining gameplay if new to the system. After games, I usually chat (in call or in discord) with everyone and joke around - I always try to balance out the harsh with humor, and I check in with everyone after a rough session. X cards will be whatever you are most comfortable with. <3
