About the adventure
"Help." Desperately, like the cries of a child. That word seems to appear every night in your dreams, now. It started when you were younger, but now it seems to call to you every night. 100 Years ago, the Brave Heroes sealed The Dark One away and saved the continent of Loom from destruction. Since then, the unsteady peace established has held... However, war hovers over the horizon as nations begin to grow ambitious. The Grand Pertora Theocracy, the home of The Holy Church of Light, is calling for every nation to mount an assault on the Frithian Empire. While it is known to most as The Demonic Territory, claims from The Theocracy accuse The Empire of preparing to conquer the entire continent. While other Nations deliberate their response, Monsters and Beasts across the continent surge in numbers, just as they did when The Dark One was still around. The church claims that the Demons of The Empire are seeking to shatter the Seal and unleash The Dark One, while The Empire rejects the very idea of such a baseless accusation. The Fragile peace that held for a century is breaking in Loom. As conspiracies, espionage, and falsehoods run rampant, it is the people caught in the crossfire who suffer the most. "Help." Will you answer the call? Or will Loom descend into Bloodshed and Madness? ========================== What is Fabula Ultima? Fabula Ultima is a Tabletop Role-Playing Game inspired by JRPGs such as Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Octopath Travelers I & II, etc. In Fabula Ultima, you and your friends will tell Epic Tales of Heroes and Villains set within fantastical realms filled with mysteries, magic, and foes as vast and varied as the world itself! Make your mark upon the world through your character's actions and spend Fabula Points to add all manner of items, places, people, and beings to the story you and your friends are weaving!

About me
🏳️🌈 Queer and Neurodivergent Safe Table 🏳️🌈 📖 All Levels of Experience Welcome 📖 🎓 Happy to Teach 🎓 💗 Safety Tools Always Included 💗 I've always had a deep love for creating fascinating worlds, epic tales, and situations for players to engage in and solve however they can. I promise to present you with sessions of engaging stories, intense moments, and dramatic moments as we experience the stories of these worlds and watch the character's stories unfold before our eyes. While new to SPG, I have been a part-time Professional Game Master since 2022. I have run over 100 sessions for my players, ranging from a custom-built solo campaign tailored for one to having up to six players enjoy a grand tale spanning years of sessions! Be it slaying (or Slaying ;D) a dragon, taking over a nation through skillful manipulation, battling evils beyond mortal comprehension, or fighting the very Gods themselves, I assure you that these will be tales to remember! I've been a Game Master since high school, running games for over a decade. I'm confident you and I will try to extend the session's length by as much as possible!

Creating your character
Character Creation, classes, and other mechanics for Fabula Ultima will be explained during an Intake session for all new players to my services and finalized during the group's Session 0(s). Players will start at the starting level for Fabula Ultima, Level 5, and are encouraged to fit their character to the lore of the world. Each player will also be able to involve themselves in the creation of 1 of 5 nations to be included in Loom, or may choose to abstain. Players will be encouraged to do so and will be provided with assistance upon request during Session 0.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have access to a Computer (desktop, laptop, or otherwise), a Stable Internet Connection, and a Discord Account. Players should have a Microphone OR be proficient with Discord's Text-to-Speech Functionality if they lack a microphone or are unable to speak for an extended period of time. If you need to create a Discord account, go to Discord.com and follow the instructions. Players do not need to be familiar with the rules, but it never hurts to give them a read! I am more than willing to teach and explain things as often as needed! Character creation is done collaboratively, and I will make pre-made characters available upon request at least 4 hours before the game starts. Generally, it should be assumed that players are prepared to create their characters in Session 0 with my assistance.
What Dragon Of Dice brings to the table
A Fabula Ultima Experience like No Other! A highly customized Foundry VTT client with everything from animated introductions for major fights, high-quality visuals, and tools to help your character express themselves in the game! A Private Discord Community Server so you and fellow players can mingle and share your tales and stories! High-quality maps and Scenes to help players visualize themselves in the spaces they occupy in the game! An extensive library of ambient and combat music to help you remain immersed in the game! A deep and thorough understanding of the game's rules and mechanics, as well as a flair for the tale being told! ===After 6 Sessions, I will also commission 1 Custom Pixel Art Portrait for Your Character=== ===After 12 Sessions, I will also commission 1 Custom Pixel Art Sprite for Your Character===
Homebrew rules
A swath of Homebrew Consumables, Access to classes from all available supplements so you can perfectly tailor your character to create the vision of them you have in your head, and an array of monsters and enemies to battle your way to victory against! Arcanists can use the Variant Rules from the Playtest Ruleset if they so choose Lastly, I have made a reworking of how high-stakes social conflicts function, reworking them to be both more complex and better suited to what I believe is the strong point of the system: Its combat mechanics. This involves heavy reflavoring of many of these combat mechanics in the midst of play, but I believe it will make for a better experience for those high-tension moments! ===All rules will be discussed during the 1st session 0 of the game===

Safety
How Dragon Of Dice creates a safe table
Important: I employ a specific set of tools both during and after sessions. During Sessions, my Virtual Tabletop (FoundryVTT), which my games are run in, has a module that allows any player to immediately call for a pause, fade to black, intermission, fast-forward the scene, or retroactively roll back and redo a scene. This will be one of the 1st things I point players toward, and I will frequently remind them of its presence and make sure everyone is familiar with its use. Some games will also require external surveys, such as through Google Forms, so I can best place you and keep a clear record of what I need to consider when running for you and your group(s). These forums can be updated if needed, but they serve as a reference for me. Anything I present to other players will be anonymized, without revealing details.
