About the adventure
Experience the apocalypse firsthand as it unfolds! You begin as an everyday person—a tour guide in Athens, a fisherman in Santorini, a student in Thessaloniki—when reality itself cracks open. The pantheon awakens. Monsters emerge from myth. The dead refuse to stay buried. And some humans, perhaps even you, discover dormant powers awakening in response to this new world. ❀ Zero to Hero Start as a completely normal person (Novice, 0 XP) and grow into a survivor—or something more ❀ Live the Apocalypse Don't just survive the aftermath—be there when Zeus's lightning first splits the sky ❀ Mythic Survival Greek mythology meets zombie apocalypse meets global supernatural catastrophe ❀ Your Past Matters Your pre-apocalypse life, connections, and knowledge will shape how you navigate the end times Looking For: Players who want to explore what happens when ordinary people face extraordinary horror. Heavy roleplay encouraged—who were you before the world ended, and who will you become? When Olympus returns and the dead walk the earth, will you rise to meet your destiny or fall like so many others?

About me
I'm Colette, a Dungeon Master and published author with a passion for interactive storytelling. For the past 15, I've been crafting immersive D&D 5e and TTRPG experiences that put players at the center of their own epic tales. My approach to DMing combines creative worldbuilding with a deep respect for player agency. I believe that tabletop RPGs shine brightest when everyone at the table contributes to the unfolding narrative. While I'm a laid back person most of the time, when I'm passionate about something, as with tabletop gaming, I can become quite fixated. Reliability is central to my professional ethos. In my years of DMing, I've maintained a consistent schedule with my groups, almost never missing a session and always providing advance notice when rare scheduling conflicts arise. When I'm not behind the DM screen, I'm often working on my creative projects. My experience as a published author informs my approach to campaign narratives, character development, and world lore. I'm part of LGBTQ+ community and committed to creating a welcoming table where all players can feel comfortable expressing themselves through their characters and storytelling contributions. Whether you're seeking heroic adventures, morally complex narratives, or something uniquely tailored to your group's interests, I'm excited to collaborate with you on creating memorable gaming experiences that will keep you coming back for more.

Creating your character
Starting Level: Novice (0 advances) Setting: Modern-day Greece at the moment everything changes. You will essentially be a human from our world without any previous supernatural abilities, though some may have awakened depending on your build.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All materials and necessary links available on the Discord. You will get the link when you sign up.
What Colette brings to the table
The books and material you will need are on the server. I will use visuals and music. I will use theatre of the mind game over battle maps. In my experience, this works better in Savage Worlds.

Safety
How Colette creates a safe table
Roleplay is heavily encouraged. Create a good backstory, perhaps add some important npcs to your characters history, and leave it vague enough for me to fill in the holes, and you just may see elements of your backstory come up during the campaign.
