About the adventure
The Enemy Within is a famous campaign in the history of role-playing for its robust involvement with the world, and its many plots, and conspiracies that are afoot. You are not the legendary heroes of lore, but regular folk who have found themselves in the midst of something far, far greater than themselves. No dungeons need be delved to find adventure when every tavern, alley, or temple might have a conspirator hiding amongst its denizens. This is an excellent introduction into the warhammer system, a robust system that excels in roleplaying and socially-driven narrative. Combat is quick and brutal, and leaves longlasting effects on those unfortunate enough to be on the receiving end of a powerful blow. This campaign deals heavily in themes like Paranoia and Trust, Corruption of the Body and Soul, and the thin veneer of safety that society presents. Characters will constantly be placed in positions where they must question who is truly and ally, or enemy, and who is willing to sell them out for a handful of coin. Fight against the difficulties of classism and religious fervor all in the hopes of unearthing some grand evil.

About me
Born at a very young age, I was marked from my youth, cursed to be sired by a "Role-player". My destiny was sealed that fateful day. For years, this passion lay dormant, until my foolish brother, having unearthed the tomes hidden in our home, began... to play. He hosted a game on my birthday, allowing me to invite a friend to play the legendary "Sunless Citadel". The day I met Meepo the Kobold, I knew this was my calling. For over 20 years now, I have honed my body and mind to perfect the art of TTRPG. While others studied the blade, I read the monster manual. While some played sports, I learned the the formulas necessary to calculate ability scores and spell slots. If you need a guide to the other side of that magical door that is immersive roleplaying, I hope to assist in this, the most honorable of goals. To me, TTRPGs have always represented a unique opportunity to explore powerful situations and emotions that our lives might not otherwise present the opportunity to explore. It can be a powerful emotional tool in difficult times in life, and it can be a great way to just hang out with some buds and have low-stakes, goofy fun. Both are good, and both are valid. I strive to create a fun and inclusive space for anybody interested in the hobby, regardless of background or skill level. Roleplaying means a lot of different things to different people, but diversity is what makes it fun!

Creating your character
Character Creation will be done in Foundry VTT, using the excellent character creator that makes us not do math! All traditional rules of character creation (namely bonus exp for randomized characters) will be used.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a computer with an internet connection, and a microphone/headset. A chrome based browser is needed to use foundry (google chrome is best)
What Killian brings to the table
I bring a very open style as a game master, encouraging creative solutions to problems, while allowing the rules to still serve as a framework for our game. I have a ton of experience as a TTRPG player, as well as experience as an improviser, so I am not afraid to go a little off the rails, or to explore aspects of the game that might draw a player's interest. I encourage players to also take narrative control to help guide the story: establishing consequences before a roll, adding flourish to important successes, etc.

How Killian creates a safe table
I have an open door policy, meaning players can talk to me at any time about any issue that might pop up during the game. I maintain narrative curtain on any romance/ sexual content in my games, meaning it can be implied "Off-camera" but not covered in game detail. Each table is different, but levels of comfortability are maintained in each game I run. Lines and veils are established during Session 0, but can be altered as the game continues, or new players arrive. There is zero space for any real-world cruelty in any of my games, and no tolerance for Racism, Sexism, or bigotry fo any form. Players who break this rule are removed immediately from the session. Finally, even after playing with some players for years, I still ask people to maintain a level of internet privacy, we are all strangers and personal information need not be shared to have a good time. Stay safe.
