About the adventure
A high-flying, treasure-hunting, swash-buckling odyssey through a sky without end. Missing princesses, magic crystals, ancient danger, and endless thrills. JRPG inspired story with loose threads designed to link up with your characters, and their journey. This is a game for players who enjoy the freedom of a hexcrawl sandbox, but feel constricted by hexes, boxes, and the idea of crawling in the sand. It's made for and by people who will never tire of discovering new horizons, new worlds, and new friends. A campaign vast enough for you to live in, even if your feet stay on the ground. Game Mastered with love for the genre, obsession with content creation, and endless appreciation for player creativity (shenanigans). You'll find a campaign tailored to whatever you bring to the table, with surprises for every character and delights for every style of play.

About me
I'm a Canadian cat-owner with a garden full of strawberries and heart full of dreams. I've been designing, playing, and running table-top games for some twenty-odd years, mostly underground for small-to-medium groups of friends or people I meet online. These days I'm looking to spend most of my time Game Mastering. I miss the days of having 20+ players and running games multiple times a week. I especially enjoy learning and digesting new systems, so any excuse to get into some new mechanics is sure to get me going. I'll try running anything at least once, with a few notable exceptions for my own sanity and love of gaming.

Safety
How Alex (WaityGhost) creates a safe table
I do a Player Interview as part of intake to go over Safety Tools in the game. Lines & Veils are normally discussed at this time, but they will come up again during Session 0. X, N, & O's can be expressed in whatever way a player is comfortable: over DM, verbally, in public chat - whichever way they deem most effective to draw attention in the moment without causing them any more distress. My prime rules are: Inclusion and Respect. Anything else grows from that. If that sounds like your kind of vibe, this could be the game for you. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️
