About the adventure
You're a part of Shadow Scar, an agency founded to fight rampaging Yokai led by the raging goddess Izanami. Using ninjitsu, life skills, and stealth, you'll sneak, steal, and assassinate enemies as you prevent death and destruction to innocent people! You're strike team is fresh out of training, recruits ready to show their stuff, but getting along with each other is a new challenge. But, into the fire, I guess? You're assigned handler has called you up; it seems like a pair of Kappa have been causing a ruckus up in space, stealing and looting without care. The Agency wants them dealt with —grab your gear, it's time to infiltrate a black-market auction and catch dem Kappa! This is a learn to play of the Shadow Scar TTRPG. Shadow Scar is a TTRPG about multiverse-hopping ninja inspired by Naruto, Stargate, and Japanese myth. With an easy-to-learn to learn D6 system, character creation focused on abilities rather than stats, and the need for stealth rather than head-on confrontation, this takes tabletop down a new road. So, get your hand signs ready, it's time to Ninja!

About me
Greetings, my name's Jabber (online persona). I'm twenty-two years old, a college graduate with an art degree, and I have a passion and love for storytelling. LoTr, The Hobbit, Narnia, Harry Potter, How to Train Your Dragon, Anime, Manga, I've consumed so much fantasy it's not even funny. The most significant aspect I have always taken from consuming that media is the story, which drove me into DnD as a whole. 2014 was when I really took a look at D&D as a whole. When I was at Books-A-Million with my mother, I convinced her to get me the Phandelver starter set, and from there, I never looked back. I fell in love with the game, and soon began meeting people who shared that joy. Eventually, I found myself behind the screen, running one-shots and crafting my own stories. When I got a job, buying books and commissioning art soon found their way into my life, followed by a plethora of Kickstarters. But my joy was seeing the players cheer, laugh, and cry as they explored the games I ran; it's what drives me to this day to run games. Now, here I am, wanting to bring what I can to the table as a professional GM, as a true testament to myself and what I have learned over the years. If you trust me with your time and character, it would be a great honor, and I will ensure you have the best time possible, feeling the same joy I do while running games.

Creating your character
You'll be able to choose from pre-generated characters or create your own at session 0. Character creation is straightforward and simple, so don't worry too much about any big brain number crunching.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You'll need to join the Discord and make a Sqyre account for the Foundry. Other than that, it's pretty straightforward from there. Just make sure you have a working computer and a headset or mic and headphones —we wanna hear that beautiful voice, after all!
What Jabber brings to the table
My goal as a GM is to give you a great time and immerse you in the world. I'll use voices (albeit choppy), music, maps, and tokens to enhance the game scene or scene art and set things in motion. Captivating Visuals and Atmospheric Audio: With a plethora of soundscapes, music, and detailed scenes, you'll feel as if you've landed in the futuristic ninja, yokai-infested world of Shadow Scar! Player Focused Narrative Freedom: I am, and always will be, about player freedom and expression; your choices matter, for better or worse. Take pride in knowing you'll affect this world, one way or another. Tools forged with comfort in mind: Shadow Scar is an escape from real-world drama and the heavy weight of life. In session 0, and through, we'll be making sure everyone is enjoying their time in this Japanese-inspired Mytho Diemson hopping Universe. If something goes wrong, absolutely dm and we'll take a break to address it!

How Jabber creates a safe table
We'll have a session 0 to discuss game expectations and address any other concerns. This game may get a little descriptive at times, but overall, it is a pretty fun and enjoyable setting. However, there may be some sexual content present throughout, but that will be handled in discussion, etc. We'll also take breaks throughout the session so everyone can get up and stretch, etc. But if an issue arises, send me a Dm and we'll take a break right then and there and address the issue!
