About the adventure
~This game has a Trial period, the first 4 sessions will be at $5 so you can see if you mesh with me as a DM and the other players, Then it rises to my standard rate of $25 if you wish to continue.~ In the forgotten history of Titana, civilization could do unimaginable things. Stories of flying ships and companion spirits are still told to children in their beds and adults in taverns alike. But that's all they are, stories. At least, that's what you thought. Maybe the past holds more than just memories. More than just history. Maybe it just might hold the key to the future. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- What was lost holds a similar premise to the Horizon Zero Dawn series. One that takes the normal tropes of fantasy and wraps them in a sci-fi Package. Instead of accessing the weave for magic, you use the nanites in your blood to access the global network, whether you know it or not. Gods are the managing A.I. for the world and your faith is their conduit to interact with a world that they lost access to. Harvesting from monsters grants valuable parts to craft better gear to slay even more powerful machines. All without your character realizing anything is amiss, until our story begins that is. When old forces begin to re link with the world, our heroes will find the universe is a lot bigger than they could have ever imagined.

About me
Hi, my name is Ergo , I'm a 33-year-old Game master looking to make an actual career in this community. My Creative background began in childhood getting lost in book after book and wanting to have an impact on the world and help the protagonists in their journey. I started playing ttrpg's in 2015 and of course, became the forever GM because no one else wanted to do it. Thus began the creation of my own worlds and the characters that fill them. I love to make games that have heavy player involvement. Want a thieves guild in the city? Done. Wizards tower in the desert? Done. Space station taken over by androids? Already have a name for it. Narrative matters the most to me but boy do I love some crunchy combat.

Creating your character
We will have an Onboarding Session 0 to go over everything you need to know about the game and what its like to play at my table. This will count as the first of the 4 Trial period sessions. If you join later we will have the Onboarding session 0 and will pay the full price of $25 but will have 4 sessions at the Trial cost of $5 (This is due to too many people spending 2 hours of my time for session 0 and then pulling no shows so I can at least get something for my time) We will use Tasha's rules for racial stat allocation if you don't choose one of the races changed new multiverse book. Stats will be the array or rolled, but if you roll you will have to abide by the roll unless it's a dumpster fire (Multiple negatives and a highest of 14) You can roll for HP or take the average but will have to abide by the roll. No Multiclassing
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a mic, a Discord account, a Roll20 account, and headphones as I use music and other audio aids.
What Ergo brings to the table
I bring most player content in the roll20 compendium, 10 years of experience GM'ing, and I bring a safe and inclusive space to play and have fun.
Homebrew rules
Given the narritive, aside from a few small personal rulings, most changes are in the fiction instead of mechanics.

How Ergo creates a safe table
We will have an onboarding session 0 whether you start with the group or join later, during which we will go over lines and veils as well as anything else we need to make sure you feel the table is a safe space to play in.
