About the adventure
"It wasn't my fault!" you keep screaming at yourself and anybody who cares to listen. However you are now forced into guarding the most boring, remote location in the kingdom, WITH the unsufferable people who got you into trouble to start with! But when monks go missing, the land seems to ripple awake and the tides mess the fishermen's traps and nets, it seems you and the insufferables are the only ones in the right place! This is an adventure for a mainly elemental bender party! (We could sprinkle in a rouge, monk, or fighter) No math, no code: VTT will take care of the math and premium mods of providing a familiar interface so you can enjoy your game. Character creation can be as easy as you telling me what you think would be a fun character to play, and then me giving you your character and explaining what they do and how. We'll be using the expansion to the 5e ruleset provided by Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms and Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting.

About me
Role Playing Games were my sanity's refuge when my undiagnosed neurodiversity turned my academic endeavors into a living hell. The stories we weaved, and the love of the friends we wove them with, kept everyone going, and with each other, we were no longer alone. As time would have it, and in spite of our academic or social struggles, we ended up being an exceptional group professionals in our chosen fields, and as we sought to make our childrens' journey easier, most of my friends discovered their own neurodiversity. I want the opportunity to help your characters live epic stories and perhaps, if we are lucky, to turn strangers into lifelong friends. I belong to the Jim Butcher and WX (Sanderson-Kowal-Tayler-Wells) schools of storytelling, Gygax's philosophy of multi-party sandbox campaigning, and have several "podiums" in national (Venezuela) and regional (Caracas) tournaments under my belt (Stopped counting after five). Me? I'm a mixed Norseman-Latino, neurodivergent, liberal, geek, TTRPG and biology nerd. My mum got the "love all, respect all" of her beloved sixties in my heart at an early age, so expect zero judgment, and the (sometimes overbearing) care and kindness I try to offer to the people in my life. As well as some of my anarchist dad's, stonefaced humor (he was a riot, but his humor was black-hole-grade). I'm as old as, and hold the motto of, the Hard Rock Café 🎸: 💖 ♻ ⌛ ☸ ∞"Love All-Serve All, All Is One, Save The Planet, and Take Time To Be Kind." 💖 ♻ ⌛ ☸ ∞ Ready to play campaigns: DnD 5e: Phandelver and below + Essentials (bundled up or separate) Helianna's Monster Hunts. Isekai on the Yokai Realms Curse of Strahd PF2e: All of Otari: Beginners box, Troubles under Otari and abomination vaults, (either as stand-alones or bundled up) Kingmaker AP Outlaws of Alkenstar AP (How it's played style remix) Age of Ashes AP (Tabletop Travel Guide style remix) Young Guns of the Wastes✳ Playable within a month: 5e: Rockin' realms!

What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need: Internet connection 💻 Functional microphone and speakers (or headphones). 💻 A Sqyre (free) account (https://www.sqyre.app) 💻 A Chromium compatible web browser Opera, Opera GX, Chrome, or Edge (or its equivalent on mac). 🎮 Discord user account. ❌ Don't bring TRASH (Transphobia, Racism, Ableism, Sexism, Homophobia) to the table. If I, at 50+ years of age, have chosen not to be a prejudiced grumpy old man and treat everyone who approaches me with respect, being younger you can do that, right?
What Olaf brings to the table
I have all the digital assets needed to run the game including: 💻 Virtual tabletop (Foundry VTT), a slew of premium modules and content (TheRipper93, JB2A animations, Czepeku scenes, Original maps done by me in Dungeon alchemist). Choice of audio input for soundboard or soundtrack in discord (Don't like my playlist? No biggie! Just Send me your preferred Spotify playlist). 💯 Chill game: You don't need to act, do voices, math, or have experience to play. Except for being rude and uncaring to your fellow players, there is no "right" or "wrong" way to play, just different styles for different people. 🧙♂️ Life long experience in teaching playing and mastering TTRPGs 📚 For those of you who just must know the books we'll use (I love you for it) : We will be using DnD 5e core rulebooks*, Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting and Ryoko's Guide to the Yokai Realms.
Homebrew rules
We'll be using Heliana's guide to monster hunting and Ryoko's guide to the Yokai realms sets of complementary rules. Perception, stealth will be blind rolls. 😎 Rule of Cool: Strict limits and rules may be bent, typically in favor of the characters to fit the narrative better. They will only be bent in favor of the opposing forces to avoid anticlimactic moments. 🗣️Languages and retraining of unused character features: all languages other than common are left as empty slots on your character sheet. When the time comes you want to understand a language, you tell the table a short story about your character's past that would have allowed them to learn that language, if most of the table agree that it's logic you fill the empty language slot. If you've NEVER ever used a selectable character feature just let me know during downtime or exploration to change it. (inspired by FATE Core system).
