About the adventure
"There will always be things beyond your understanding, where only StarClan can forsee the end of the trail. Your job is to trust their judgement, and be ready for what is to come." - Poppyfield of ThunderClan. You are an apprentice - a young cat living amongst those with much more time and experience than you. You have plenty of responsibilities, including training to become a stronger hunter and fighter to help support your Clanmates. After some time, you have started noticing that not everything is wholesome and shiny like you thought in your earlier moons - on top of all that, it turns out a lot of the adults in your life that you trusted and adored unconditionally have been keeping some pretty important secrets from you. This campaign will be a story of mystery and danger, as you and your friends dive into the fog that surrounds your life to reveal the secrets hiding in the forest. Your relationships, your courage, and your faith in your ancestors will all be tested as you face dangers you are not ready for. That being said, a life with downs is not without ups, as you learn things about yourself and others that lift your Clan to greater heights. --- Join me as we work together to create a powerful and emotional story in a setting based of the Warriors books by Erin Hunter! This campaign is completely separate from the canon universe of the books, but there are a few inspirations from how the world is put together. You DO NOT NEED TO BE FAMILIAR WITH THE BOOKS to enjoy this campaign! Sure, it helps, but we will learn about the Clans and the Forest they inhabit together. This will be a journey for everyone, regardless of your familiarity with TTRPGs or the Warriors series. I look forward to making a story with you!

About me
Hey there, adventurer! My name is Maple, and I'm here to dive deep into a world richer than your wildest dreams. I'm a 22-year-old trans woman from the West Coast of the USA, and my greatest hobby is telling stories that explore worlds, create thrilling environments, and challenge players to see their characters in ways they never have. I am here to build an experience, to make you laugh, cry, or both. I am here to help YOU build the story you want to build, with others who want to create their own stories. Okay, that's enough fancy talk- I'm not a movie trailer. Truth be told, I like playing TTRPGs. If you're looking for a GM who is passionate about their craft and spares no detail, you've come to the right place. This is also a place where we go light on the rules. The rules as they are given are a guideline for me, a good way to understand the spirit of the game. When playing in systems I am less than familiar with its easier to follow the rules more strictly, but that only lasts as long as it needs to. To me, the story is the most important thing. That means if something is cool, or fun, or cinematic or even just silly, I'll probably let you do it. We'll figure it out as we go along! There are no restrictions when you're creating your own narrative. There also aren't any restrictions when it comes to who is allowed at my table! I welcome people of all identities and experience levels. Feel free to join a game and we can write an amazing story together!

Creating your character
There will be two "phases" to character creation: The first phase will be individual one-on-one sessions with you (the player) and me (the DM) to discuss your character's past, present, and future. The goal of this will be to ensure that you have a good idea of who your character *is*. I like to challenge my players to add depth to their characters and to think of them as more than just their statblock. Together, we will make your character a part of the world around them. We'll also talk about things such as your characters aspirations, their inner thoughts, and who (or what) is important to them! The second phase will be our session 0! In it, we will discuss a multitude of things such as expectations for the table, content warnings, house rules, etc., but we will also get the chance for the whole party to come together and talk about how your characters would know each other or act towards each other. This is a collaborative story that we are telling, after all - it'll be more fun to work together to create something amazing!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
YOU WILL NEED: - A working computer (REQUIRED) - A (hopefully stable) internet connection (REQUIRED) - A Discord account (REQUIRED) - A character sheet (optional, if you do not have one we can create one together!) - Headphones (optional but highly recommended for a better experience) - A keyboard (REQUIRED, we will be rolling our dice through a bot in Discord) And most importantly... - YOUR IMAGINATION (required, obviously)
What Maple brings to the table
As a DM in this (and all future) campaigns, my ultimate goal is to immerse my players in a world that feels cinematic and full of life. This means that you can expect things from my games like: - Varied voices and personalities for NPCs - Time- and location-appropriate background music through a bot in Discord - Thought-out stories that challenge your character's mindset and allow them to shine in the spotlight - A rather hands-off presence at the table, to encourage character roleplay and PC-to-PC interaction - Rules-light system and campaign, focusing more on what feels appropriate for the situation

How Maple creates a safe table
Safety Features in use at this table: - Your Lines and Veils, as well as preferrent content, will be written in a Google Form, where the only person who will see your answers will be me. We'll make sure everyone has done this as part of their one-on-one session. - My DMs will always be open to you! You're more than welcome to shoot me a message if you have a question or concern related to the game, or even if you want to share something fun about your character! - X, N, and O cards will be handled through DMs as well. This way everyone has their privacy and will be able to move past a scene without having to mention it to the group - I will handle the transition forwards. - After every session, we will take a few minutes to talk about what we enjoyed from the session, anything we didn't like as much, and what we hope happens in the next one! There will also be a Discord channel where you can voice your thoughts about what we did that week.
