About the adventure
Fabula Ultima is a system inspired by classic JRPGs such as Final Fantasy, and it's built for collaborative storytelling between the players and the GM. The adventure's theming and world is created as a group effort. With highly customizable characters and giving several narrative tools to players, the game lends itself well to heroic tales of exploration, magic, and the fighting of villains.

About me
Hi! I'm Cloud Draxie, GM, artist, and overall tabletop and board game enthusiast. As a GM and as player, I value the fun of everyone at the table and support the cooperative nature of TTRPGs. I require my entire table to be LGBTQ+ friendly. I also require that the party be a team in and out of character, meaning there is normally no PvP or stealing from other PCs in my games. My main games are Pathfinder 2nd edition and Upwind, but I like to learn and try out new games too. I enjoy telling stories with my players and challenging them with tough but winnable encounters. I learned game master largely in online settings, so I am quite comfortable running sessions over voice chat and on virtual tabletops, namely Discord and Foundry VTT. Because I always like to have a unique representation of my own characters and understand that some of my players feel the same, I can offer to draw personal little portraits to be used as player tokens in my games that last more than a few sessions.

Creating your character
Character creation will begin near the tail end of session 0, once the group has decided any themes they wish to use or prior bonds between characters they want to establish. I advise against fully building a character before then, but players are more than welcome to theory-craft. Characters start at level 5, which is the default for Fabula Ultima. The core rule book and supplementary atlases (High Fantasy, Techno Fantasy, and Natural Fantasy) will all be available to use.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need access to a non-mobile web browser to access Forge, a discord account and a decent microphone, and a relatively quiet place to to play.
What Cloud Draxie brings to the table
As the GM I will bring the virtual tabletop, maps, tokens, and other resources needed to play. I also provide music and can offer simple art for character tokens. Combat difficulty will be adjusted to the groups overall preference, but I do enjoy providing some challenge. I tend to stick to rules as written unless rules become a hindrance or players wish to be creative, though the rules of Fabula Ultima are already quite open to creative solutions.
