About the adventure
Something stirs in the racially divided world of Gaia. The Earth itself shivers as a new influence seeps into the cracks: the Glistening Oil. THE WORLD OF GAIA AND THE CONTINENT OF YORIN The world is divided, as each of it's species have a deep history of war, discrimination and exploitation. To avoid total self-annihilation the species of Yorin agreed to live in an uneasy truce where each race vows to work together to overthrow any species that threatens the continent as a whole. WHY MAGIC THE GATHERING? To me Magic the Gathering is a source of inspiration. A multiverse of possibility, storytelling and worldbuilding. Anything can exist in the Blind Eternities and I find that fascinating. Worlds like Ixalan, Ravnica, Mirrodin, New Phyrexia and all the others inspired me for decades to create my own stories and worlds. The Phyrexians in particular have always been an inspiration for how I write villains. Their philosophy is both horrific and fascinating in a way that can't be summarized here. One of the main goals of this campaign is to portray Phyrexian as the near-impossible to understand horrors that they are.

About me
If RP and character driven stories sound good to you then we are in agreement. Epic fantasy adventures with a down to earth and relatable people, cities and stories are what I love the most. Heroes and villains are great, but what if there is more than just black and white? That is what I explore with my games and my players. My personal background has included writing, directing and acting in my own movies and skits. I have multiple works of fiction on multiple platforms, and I’m currently building up my own brand of TTRPG entertainment. I love to put my own spin on things, and I love working with others for the maximum amount of fun, whether it's custom rules or personal requests. I do like to push my players to RP to the best of their ability, as experience has shown: a little push can go a long way. VTT CHOICE AND EXPANDED MATERIALS: The VTT I mainly use is Fantasy Grounds as my VTT (Virtual Tabletop) of choice. I choose this primarily because it is both user friendly, while being the most customizable VTT out there (in my opinion). Fantasy Grounds is completely free for players and I do not expect my players to pay for anything other than the booking price. I have over 200 books for D&D 5e, Pathfinder 1e and Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition on this platform. All of them are both first party and third party. Feel free to ask if I have a specific book you’re looking for as I use these materials regularly in my games and encourage my players to try new things. I'm also an official GM for Warlock’s Sanctum and a Panel member of Heroes of the Multiverse. These are both communities that focus on getting players in games and having fun while trying new things. Feel free to say hello to me there or anywhere you may see me.

This is a weekly campaign that will span levels 1-20. I bring all of the automation I can bring to Fantasy Grounds Unity including but not limited to: -Auto math -Auto differentiation between those who made a save and those who did not (I.E. auto calculating who made their save when being hit by a fireball) -Calculating of health, Spell Save DC, Attack bonuses and damage -Auto accounting for spell preparation. and much more. I also have nearly every Pathfinder official book, along with a large array of expansions. They add new spells and archetype to all the classes.

How Rob (RPG Mastery) creates a safe table
Players can reach out at any time or use X, N, & O's to inform me of anything. I will regularly ask if the players are ok and if they have any wishes for the game. This game will cover many topics that most would consider unpleasant. Player discretion is advised.
