When the Ring Leader position of the Cirque du Arcane was filled last year no one expected the places they visit to devolve into clownery.

About the adventure
No one thought the apocalypse would come in the form of juggling and wigs but here we are. For some unknown reason, after obtaining new leadership, the once world renowned Cirque du Arcane is leaving a trail of grease paint everywhere they've gone this year. It's a plague of sorts for anyone who attends. Starting small before escalating; from hand stands all the way to lion taming the viewers are becoming more and more egregious in their "acts". The inspiring of new hobbies or even jobs is a point of pride for the Big Top but these are not trained individuals and there have been more cases the longer this goes on of people getting hurt, dying, and hurting others. Fellowship is a cinematic type game where you gather allies, create bonds, and defeat evil. I own all four books and all the playbooks will be available.

About me
After nearly a decade of play and some years of GMing I've decided to expand my horizons beyond weekends only. Monday-Thursday I will be running 4 different systems, Fellowship, Monsterhearts, Daggerheart, and Dungeons and Dragons 5e. The first three of which I have run or am running full campaigns in for friends. I'm a queer GM and want to create an inviting space for any players who wish to join.

Creating your character
We will go through a session zero to get everyone acquainted with the general rules before moving on to character creation. This is done in a group, commanding lore about your societies and creating connections to each other and me, the Overlord(gm and big bad). As for books: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1tnxt6xe6A5eKl2XfCcHS8fpKvda3f-tt/view?usp=sharing YOU DO NOT NEED TO READ ALL OF THIS in fact i would only ask you to give a coursory look at the playbooks.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
All you need is a discord account and working microphone!
What Kris brings to the table
I will be doing voices, scenic music, and let you decide who to befriend. The Rule of Cool is here to stay!
Homebrew rules
the only real homebrew rules I have is that combat is played out like most powered by the apocalypse systems, utilizing the most relevant score to attack. This would be blood for melee, grace for ranged, courage for intimidation, ect ect

Safety
How Kris creates a safe table
I will have a Lines and Veils doc for everyone to use. Session Zero will introduce my safety tools such as the X, N, and O card which can be spoken, sent in public, or sent to me privately so i may stop or slow the scene to find out what needs to change.
