About the adventure
Intro: Whether born into the Oaths, or adopting them at a young age, you are a Gunslinger Knights Squire. You have been brought together with other squires for the final test, proving you all have been taught in the ways of Honor, Magic, Loyalty and Duty. You and your fellow squires will be sent to aid your fellow knights for an oncoming storm of Monsters; helping guide and protect the innocent, and keeping the promises of a century old treaty well in tact. If your team is successful, you will be inducted into the knights proper, forging your legend of heroism with new found friends. Should you all fail, further training or banishment is well rooted in the back of your mind; but in truth, forces in secret prepare a fate worse than death, for you and the city you were sworn to protect. Game System Details: To be more Direct, Cypher is a rules medium, setting agnostic game system, where there are materials to run any kind of story you'd like, from fantasy, sci fi, western and even some life sim. Not to mention the opportunity to kit bash any or all of these genres together. Generally the game is played using a d20 for most tasks, whether it be for combat or rp. The gm NEVER rolls, only the players. As your gm, my job is to present to you, challenges in all aspects of gameplay: RP, Combat, Exploration. I provide an expected difficulty level between 1-10, with Level 4 tasks being a middle ground of possible but challenging. Once the task level is declared, we then multiply the level by 3 and that represents what you the player must meet or beat on a d20 roll. Factor in the skills and abilities your character has; and your allies willingness to get in on any shenanigans, and you can lower any declared difficulty down to a 0, an immediate success OR lower a ungodly impossible task of 10(30) into a slim but believable chance. Gunslinger Knights is an official settings book from Monte Cook games (makers of the Cypher system) and it is honestly the coolest dumbest thing I've been blessed to lay my eyes on. I've read this book front to back several times and plan to do several more times. I am obsessed with the concept of magic cowboy knights and I wanna share with you all just how goofy, cool and heartbreaking a setting and a game like this can be. So....what are you waiting for?

About me
I love ttrpgs and i love how you can bring strangers together to enjoy a second life. Make them writers, gamers and thespians all at once through this awsome hobby. As ive gotten comfy with Cypher and Nimble, ill have my official phds in some smaller but more intimate systems to take people on adventures with. Nimble is a very good game to help weene people off of the more rules heavy fantasy games and allow something more straight forward and fast. Cypher is a full paradigm shift and one that takes time getting used to BUT allows for a game you can build with your players. Buildable in the vein of Gurps but far more accessible like fate or PBTA
