About the adventure
Alarms blare, countless boots stamp across the interior grates of walkways and the dense maze of halls. Power flickers and fades like a dying pulse. Swathes of hallways are sealed as holes tear open from pressure outside. Above, Intercoms give directions to both Civilian personnel and Union soldiers; other Lancers being sent outside the rapidly descending hull to desperately fix torn plating. You were never meant to see such action. Fresh from different piloting schools across the Union, you find yourself having been selected to be stationed aboard the UNS-CV 'Valdivian' - a state of the art armed colony ship - on its harrowing and experimental journey: to be deliberately sling-shot through a blink-gate into unknown space, and establish framework for Union influence to extend into the beyond. Now, your mission seems to already be in jeopardy, as your sudden thawing from stasis following the ship's rapid descent to a colossal, unidentified planet. Once more from above, the ship-bound NHP calls for all souls to brace for impact. Welcome to the Distant Lands.

About me
Hello! I go by Deacon or Daze, and I have been DMing for about 4 years now! I have most experience with 5e 2014 and Lancer! I have experience DMing for Daggerheart as well, but significantly less so than other listed options. I dabble in 2d digital artwork and streaming on the side, and am excited to see what we can create together! I specialize in Homebrew settings, and tend to lean more into what would be most enjoyable for the players rather than being too hard and fast with system rules.

Creating your character
Characters will be started at LL0, and handled both during the session 0 and during the week following up to session 1 proper! Books being allowed are base book, siren song, enhanced combat, dustgrave, winterscar, legionnaire, KTB, and potentially others we can discuss during session 0.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Have a Discord account ready, and I will ask if the group would prefer Owlbear or Foundry during our session 0.
What DeaconsDaze brings to the table
I bring an extremely heavy emphasis on roleplay and storytelling in comparison to traditional lancer focus. Backing music, voices, and being willing to have things bend if it makes for a fun and engaging narrative.

How DeaconsDaze creates a safe table
We will discuss what source books people would wish to use, what VTT is preferred between foundry and Owlbear, How to use our safety tool in play for the campaign, player introductions, and expectations as well as character creation.
