About the adventure
You are a traveling crew of performers. You journey from town to town, putting on shows and building your reputation, aiming to become a legendary troupe known all across the world - and beyond. But there's always trouble when you show up to perform. There's always a venue haunted by ghosts, or a host who's been kidnapped by faeries, or a greedy dragon who hordes musical instruments. And of course, the only way you can play the gig and get paid is if you deal with these problems. Just try to look cool while you do it. The show must go on! š Scheduling is negotiable - feel free to contact me! 0ļøā£ Free session zero! š No prior experience required! š¤ New players always welcome!

About me
Greetings everybody! I am a storyteller at heart who loves all forms of fiction. I run games ranging from pulpy sci-fi to gritty fantasy and everything in between. I especially love weird or non-standard settings. Superheroes in a cyberpunk city? Time-traveling fantasy adventure? Teenagers on a supernatural road trip? I'm all here for it. I believe that tabletop RPGs are a unique storytelling experience where everyone at the table becomes both author and audience to the shared story. Facilitating this shared storytelling experience is my primary goal as a GM. My games do not make use of generative AI for writing, music, or images. Storytelling is a fundamentally human experience, and synthesized plagiarism has no place in my games. I look forward to sharing stories with you! Profile picture created by Neo!

How Nathan Patrick Lane creates a safe table
Before session zero, I'll be private messaging all the players one-on-one to discuss Lines, Veils, and Wishes. Our first session will be a free session zero, wherein we will make introductions, review Lines & Veils, and create characters. At the end of every session, I will run through "Roses, Thorns, and Buds", allowing players to present positive and negative feedback about the game along with suggestions to make the game more enjoyable in the future. Bigotry will not be tolerated in this group. Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, or other prejudiced behaviors will warrant an immediate kick.
