About the adventure
The land of Halitus has floating amongst the clouds for as long as human memory can fathom, with the Tech Priests of Caelus guiding the sky islands as a shepherd guides sheep. The church warns not to peer beneath the cloudveil draped beneath this world, for it is the domain of the gods. But lately there have been sightings of great shadows moving beneath the Skysea, monsters rising from whatever divinity lies below, dragging sailors to the world the gods. The Templars of Caelus guard their islands with zeal, yet forbid any from chasing the abductors into the storm below, saying these beasts must be manifestations of gods wrath. Will your faith in the church remain strong, or will you let curiosity and your burning desire for truth guide you beneath the Skysea?

About me
I've been in love with TTRPG's since the first time I sat down to play with friends after school 20 years ago! That initial sense of freedom and wonder at being able to craft exciting stories and go on adventures with those I share the table with has never left my mind. It’s become something I’ve wanted to share with anybody I get the chance to, pushing me to become a game master so I could make the perfect space for all the friends I make to get to have the same kind of one of a kind experience I did when I first started playing tabletop games! After a decade+ of long spanning campaigns, and making new friends along the way I realized I’m never having more fun than when I see giddy smiles on my players' faces, hearing them talk excitedly after a game about all the hijinks they got up to. I realized it’s become more than just a hobby for me, it’s what I want to do to make a difference in the world. I want to meet new people, make new friends, and give them a safe space where they can tell the stories they want to tell together, and that’s what brought me here! So come on in and take a seat! Get friendly and tell me about the characters you've been cooking up so we can see what sort of adventures we can go on, i'm looking forward to meeting you!

Creating your character
Character creation will happen via FoundryVTT, and i'm more than happy to get together with you either via text or voice to work on a character together. I allow anything from the official Fabula Ultima books, and will be using Quirks in this campaign. We'll be doing worldbuilding together on the first session, so feel free to start whipping up some ideas for the world! Feel free to reach out if you need some help brainstorming ideas too. In order to play in the first session, i'll need to get together with you at least 24 hours before our first session to make sure you mesh with what we are looking for.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
I ask that my players all have a working microphone, forgeVTT and discord account set up, as well as a stable internet connection for smoothness of play. I also ask that my players consider taking notes while the game is ongoing because I offer a fabula point for those who would volunteer to do a recap!
What Derrick brings to the table
I bring colorful illustations and maps to immerse the party in the world, as well as tailored stories that match the party within the world we build together. You can expect personalized soundscapes to match the campaign and an open door policy so we can talk about how to give you the best experience in ongoing games.
Homebrew rules
I have a homebrewed version of camp activities I use where its based on the classes you pick, allowing players to have access to more of them as the campaign goes on. I also replace Zero Powers with a combo clock the party fills by using their bonds.

How Derrick creates a safe table
I use Lines and Veils to ensure anything that may trigger my players gets handled, and I do not tolerate harassment of any sort within my games. We will also all get together in a session 0 to discuss expectations, and we'll be using stars and wishes. I am bi and use he/him pronouns, and I run a LGBT+ and POC inclusive game For game experience, I am well versed with the rules but believe in rule of cool when it'll bring the party as a whole the most happiness. Expect fun interactions with colorful characters and combats that serve the story and worldbuilding first and foremost before anything else! We take a 10 minute break every session to let folks get a snack and use the bathroom! As for content warnings, with this being fabula ultima, a lot of what we will encounter in the story will be something we discuss as a party at the table! So make sure to let me know your Lines and Veils so we can set the right expectations to begin on the right foot.
