SAVE.STATE="A Time-Traveling Fabula Ultima Campaign"

Creating your character

Character Creation uses the standard Fabula Ultima character creation rules, starting from the usual level 5 starting point. This, alongside with fleshing out the world according to usual Fabula Ultima world creation guidelines, will be handled in Session 0.

Preparing for the session

Players should come prepared with the following: - A Discord account - A microphone (ideally with headphones, to minimize echoing) - A laptop or desktop computer capable of accessing FoundryVTT (For more information, see https://foundryvtt.com/article/requirements/ under "Client Requirements") - A space quiet enough to avoid constant background noise in VC To expedite session 0, it is PREFERRED if you come with: - Thoughts on characters you'd like to play or party roles to fill - Ideas for setting locations, threats, and mysteries - A list of optional rules you're interested in discussing with the group (The materials necessary to bring these to session 0 are provided as campaign materials)

What Brennan brings to the table

I provide the following: - All necessary rules materials, including rulebooks and playtest rules - A custom campaign tailored to the party's backstories - A 24/7-accessible FoundryVTT server, for leveling and reference between sessions - Regular access to rules assistance and communication via Discord I can provide: - Recordings of each session (with unanimous consent from the party) I generally stick to Rules as Written, and allow the Core Rulebook and all three official Atlases (High Fantasy, Techno Fantasy, and Natural Fantasy) for character building.

Homebrew rules

I will use Playtest Initiative when running combats. I will also permit Invoking to Fail and Success at a Cost. For character creation, we will use Quirks and the most recent Playtest re-balancing. Event sources (Necromancer/Ace of Cards) will be usable if the group agrees to it - though Ace of Cards will use Ema's homebrew rework from their discord if allowed. Other homebrew/optional rules are allowed with unanimous agreement from the group and GM.

How Brennan creates a safe table

Prior to a campaign I ask each player for their Lines and Veils and compile them and my own into an anonymized list, kept in a dedicated channel in our play space. No players know whose Lines and Veils are whose (other than their own) unless they wish to reveal them, so you don't need to fear being mocked, belittled, or intentionally targeted for your lines and veils. Generally at least once per session I will take a bathroom/snack break, and others are free to use that break time as they will. I also don't mind if others hop up to take breaks between turns or scenes involving them - just make it known you're stepping away! If I need time to import something or fix an issue, I also encourage players to take breaks during that time as well - no point wasting the time. My Discord DMs are open to players both in and out of sessions, and during sessions players can discreetly whisper to me through Foundry. (in case I don't notice Discord DMs immediately) I will do my best to comply with X/N/O-esque requests in this manner.
