About the adventure
This game is for those who want to try the system and have rich storytelling as a group, where every decision matters. It is also for those that want to experience a long distance journey to an epic end goal much akin to a tale of the Lord of the Rings. Legend in the Mist is for players who want their characters’ whole backstory and experiences to matter as much as the luck of the dice.

About me
Naturally, I am a geeky lover of all things tabletop. My favorite times playing are when the whole table has that “Ooooo” moment, whether that be from perfectly collaborated storytelling or a surprise from my side of the GM screen. I’m a big fan of the unusual and strange and new. I’m also a big fan of pasta, which is unusual and strange if you think about it long enough… At the same time, I really do enjoy old nostalgic things such as rocking chairs, old museums, and untouched forests, since a lot of interesting things happened for us all to get where we are now. I’m looking forward to what can lead from now and into the future!

Creating your character
Hi there! So, firstly, character creation will occur in a FREE Session Zero as a group, or, if it takes time for seats to fill up, the player and Narrator (aka Dungeon Master) can create characters together in the designated Discord Server. If you’re new to this game, that’s amazing and it’s awesome to have newcomers! I will walk you step by step through the process. Character creation can be as in-depth or simple as you want since LitM is a narrative-heavy game.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
We will use Discord to keep track of details, so you’ll need an account. You will also need to access Google Meet, which you can simply use in your web browser. We will be using theater of the mind, so no need for any VTTs or the such.
What Bo brings to the table
Rule of Cool is my standard go-to. Since the game is more narrative based it’s quite easy to do that! I provide as many strange, exotic, or downright lovable NPCs and their voices as possible (though don’t expect every average Bob the Commoner to be entirely unique, for as much as I’d like to be, I am not Matt Mercer haha). Also, expect surprises! I like to throw the unexpected at my players *villainous laughter*

How Bo creates a safe table
I have a strict policy of following the comfort and fun of my players. During Session Zero, I go over an expensive list of Lines and Veils with the whole group. If something is not unanimously comfortable with the party then it is not included in our game. End of story.
