About the adventure
You find yourself in the midst of the New Era, where The Eternal Rain permeates every part of the continent. The Void Path has faded into legend, and Tenkku-Zao — the largest of all territories — now extends its military might in an attempt to conquer the rest of the world. The Emperor holds the upper hand, having discovered a way to teach his soldiers the Path of Steel. Yet even that power is not enough, and so he seeks the Forgotten Path—a force the Master once sealed away for humanity’s own good. His method, as many rulers, is slavery. You have been captured and condemned for an unforgivable crime — or perhaps one you never committed — and sent to the frontier of many wars, in the Emperor’s Search for the Forgotten Path. Two princes wage war for the throne of The Silence Maker. Countless slaves struggle to see another day. And you, you hold the secret that could save the world. Defy your fate. Uncover the truth. Become the hero of Ga’zhan and carve your own Path in this magical world. Ga'zhan takes place in an oriental themed world, with strong anime and fantasy inspirations, in an attempt to recreate the world building of some great stories like Lord of the Rings. As you journey into the mystical continent, you must choose your source of magic — the Paths, the Spiritism, or the Remnance — and unlock extraordinary abilities that define the way your character is played. This aims to be a long, sandboxy style campaign with an intense and emotional story. I hope to find players to run it!

About me
Hi! I'm Tomás—though most people online know me as Skur. I've been a dedicated Dungeon Master for the past six years, running campaigns locally, and now I'm excited to take a big step forward by connecting with players from around the world. I take the game seriously because I genuinely love it. For me, playing is serious business: I craft intricate, emotionally resonant stories designed to leave a lasting impression on everyone at the table, and for that reason, I strive to find dedicated players that match my energy. To support that experience, I provide my players with a full-featured VTT (Foundry), custom character art, and collaborative worldbuilding that evolves around their PCs. I believe in creating immersive, heartfelt adventures where every player feels seen and inspired. I'm really looking forward to making new friends and finding fellow storytellers who are just as excited to dive into my campaigns as I am to run them!

Creating your character
We’ll discuss your character and how they fit into Ga'zhan during a private call and session 0. Your starting level is 1, and you’re free to use any material. When creating your character, remember that this campaign is meant to feel like an epic that begins at rock bottom. In Ga’zhan, you’ll find yourself struggling to escape the relentless grasp of the Emperor. Yet freedom will not come easily—the frontier is a land steeped in death and despair. You will likely shape your character as an Artist, centered around their Path (or whatever magical discipline you choose), for such mastery is essential to survival in Ga’zhan. We’ll talk more about your characters in Session 0. Hope to see you there!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You should have a Discord account, and we will make a Discord server when we're all set to play. Besides that, I self host foundry so that is a non issue.
What Tomás Totaro brings to the table
I extensively use voices for every NPC, trying to differentiate them with accent and tone. I use music on Discord, and sound effects and visual animations in Foundry. I make the PCs character art fitting the narrative you send me, though, you can opt out of this option if you feel like it.
Homebrew rules
There are a few homebrew rules that we will discuss in Session 0, specially regarding this new type of Archetype. You must choose between following a Path, practicing Spiritism, or being a Possessor. Every Archetype gives your character new abilities to play around, being fully fleshed out and revealing themselves along the progression of your character.

Safety
How Tomás Totaro creates a safe table
We will deeply discuss Lines and Veils on session 0, and let them be a pinned message on our Discord Server. Also, X card is present on the tabletop so everyone can use it. I expect basic human decency, and respect to every other player in my table. Crossing boundaries will not be tolerated and will result in an expulsion from the campaign.
