About the adventure
(I have a staunch Anti-AI stance, I do not allow the use of it in my games!) Another Tuesday, another kaiju attack downtown... 💥 You send the monster packing, but you get home after curfew.

A.E.G.I.S. wants to control you, the old guard of heroes doesn't trust you, and your parents just want you to finish your homework. In the midst of it all, you and your team are the only ones you can truly count on. This campaign is all about that beautiful, messy, dramatic struggle. This Campaign Features: 💥 High-stakes, cinematic superhero action. 🎭 Deeply personal, character-driven drama and relationships. 🏙️ A dynamic Halcyon City that changes based on your actions. ✒️ Custom story arcs and villains tailored to your team's unique journey.

About me
Hello! My name is Walid, I have been playing TTRPGs for 10 years now, and GMing for almost as long. I started back in 2015, when a french actual play called "Aventures" caught my eye and made me want to try out TTRPGS, and I've been hooked ever since. I've played a lot of indie systems, as well as most mastodons of the hobby. I've had periods where most of my playtime was doing one shots with a different system every week, and other times I've been pretty much focused on long-term campaigns with all the ups and downs they entail. I've been passionate about storytelling for pretty much all my life. Before I was playing TTRPGs, I loved writing stories, dreaming them up, imagining ups and downs, worldbuilding, it's always been my jam. Doing it collaboratively is one of the most wonderful things I can imagine! Knowing when to push in during funny moments, pulling back to let the narrative breathe, putting emphasis on dramatic moments, those are all dynamics that are extremely fun for me to play with. Outside of TTRPGs, I study philosophy and political science in Montréal, I love video games and cinema, I have a wonderful cat which I love to show off to the camera, I have a very healthy obsession with organizing things on excel spreadsheets, and I enjoy reading in my free time. Excited to be able to play with you!

What Walid brings to the table
Most importantly, I consider players to be the driving force of any story! I'm here to react to your inputs, your wants and needs for the story. I will gladly take the story in unexpected directions if it's something the party wants! I use ambient music and sound effects on Discord to set the tone at the table. I very much enjoy doing character voices, roleplaying intense moments, letting characters take the spotlight when needed! I also enjoy giving creative inputs to my players in the heat of the moment. Allowing them to describe an NPC, tell me something about a location or a city... If that's something you think you'll enjoy, I am very excited to have you at my table! Worldbuilding is my strong suit! I love going in depth when creating the worlds my players inhabit. Halcyon City will be tailored to you!

Safety
How Walid creates a safe table
Session 0 will be an opportunity for us to talk about Lines and Veils (which will be able to be brought to the table anonymously), as well as set the tone more specifically with everyone. This is an opportunity to facilitate our cooperation and see if you mesh with the group! My games have an Open Door policy: you are free to leave the virtual table and the game as a whole at any moment without owing an explanation and without judgement. For our in-session safety tools, I use Script Change through a Roll20 add-on, which I'll explain during Session 0. In brief, Script Change is a safety tool that allows to control the pacing of the game both for comfort and to give input to the GM during our session.
