About the adventure
Using the Stingers & Spores setting for the Savage World deluxe edition, this is an epic high fantasy filled with prophecy, drama, and war in a land where once, honor was stronger then steel. The Queen of Queens is missing from the Golden Hive of the heavens, and ancient prophecy prophecy known only to Spiders and a few Sporecerers says that the Spider shall sweep the land and destroy the arthopod kingdoms. A rumor sweeps the land that the missing heir to the kingdom has returned, which would make the current rulers illegitamite. Black Scrolls from a forgotten time are being found and grant power to those who open them. Crops are withering and the current ruler is dying and seemingly going mad. There is still hope however. For there is also a prophecy that when all hope is lost, five ancient heroes reborn (known as "Wings") shall arise, gather the insect clans, and send the spiders back into the darkness. This will be a high fantasy game with both horror and hope, comedy and drama and take the lore of Stingers& Spores and mix it with the lore of a few other stories into a giant epic.

About me
I've been running and playing games for 35+ years, and prefer cinematic and fun stories versus full on combat focus and playing RAW. I started with games like Toon and Teenage Mutant turtle and Tunnels & Trolls, moved to GURPS, Earthdawn, Legend of the Five Rings, and 7th Sea in the 90's and up to mid 00's, and then Savage Worlds, FATE, and Indie RPGS after that. You will see cats in the background if I have my camera on! They have only knocked my laptop to the ground in a single game. Can you make my cat do it again? I like to make sure everyone gets a chance for the spotlight and to focus on the things they want their character engaged in. the games I run are co-op. not PVP as the fun you are having should not take away from the enjoyment of others. I see my job both as to weave the world around the characters actions which drive where the action goes. I love a good long campaign with a lot of character progression, but I also enjoy zany one shots where what happens after this one story does not matter. I really like having the NPCs having their own lives and personalities, and breathing life into them. a specialty of mine is often creating deep and distinct NPC's in a moments notice. I am more of a lenient GM than a strict one, and for the games that it fit's the scenario and world, making sure everyone has a pun-derful time. I don't like PVP combat, and will make that expectation known upfront. I am very new player friendly.

Creating your character
If you have the current Savage Worlds ( SWADE) base book and Stingers and Spores, you will have all you need to make your character. There will be a session 0 where characters can be created (it will be free) and this is the encourage time to make the character. I will have material in the discord to assist with this. If you make it outside of then, we are making starting characters and then advancing once before play (still Novice).
The specifics of the party makeup won't b e known until session 0, but you can base your character ideas off of stingers and spores or L5R, and if you have familiarity with neither than standard fantasy types and a cool 6 legged insect.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Have a discord and microphone, if you need to show dice or wants to be ons screen please have a webcam. the core savage worlds book is encouraged, and owning Stingers& Spores will give you a host of lore but both are not strictly necessary.
What Emily brings to the table
Resources for character creation, many distinct characters with their own voices and personality, some illustrations and a lifetime of geeky knowledge to line this campaign with a whole horde of references and fun. This will be a cinematic epic and more focused on cool ideas and scenes instead of a dungeon crawling focus. there will be some intrigue and diplomacy too, depending upon the desires of the group.
Homebrew rules
When leveling, traits are upper limit of only spending one point to up a skill, instead of it only costing 1 if below the trait. We will be using several optional rules from the core books, including Heroes Never die.

How Emily creates a safe table
Lines and Veils will be done in session 0 and can be re brought up and always added to during play. If at any time a player is uncomfortable and needs something to stop or not happen again that was not originally covered, they can DM me or says so publicly if they desire.
