About the adventure
You are dead. Your soul however, still needs to face judgement. And what better way to do that, I think, than to play some games! You, along with several dust-bitten unfortunates, have all been gathered to a place the dreary call The Gates of Purgatory, and the query call it The Temple of Games. I'm partial to calling it Rigor Morti's Dance Hall, BUT Soulkeep is fine I guess. Here you will fight amongst each other in games of luck and skill! Your victories and your loses will count for and against you, so do please put in your best effort won't you? OH, for what is your soul being judged for you might ask? Well, I'll tell you! Its quite simple really. We here at Soulkeep, decide whether your soul is worthy of being reincarnated and given back to the world to begin anew! And if it isn't, well, bye bye you go to the void! Now, lets see how the dice roll shall we? Your obedient servant, ~ The Humming One ______ Soulkeep is a one-shot that deals with Death and Self-Worth while amidst a setting of jovial mini-games, puzzles, and trials. This adventure can be as wacky or as serious as the table's wishes it to be. Details will be ironed out in Session 0. _____ Touchstones and inspiration for this one-shot are of the following: ~ Death Parade ~ The Good Place ~ Coco ~ Hazbin Hotel

About me
Salutations! I am just a jolly-jubilant-jewel who strives to spread joy in what can feel like a jest-less, joke-less, jazz-less world. Role-playing games have a way to uniquely unite us unicorns and usher uplifting and unforgettable memories. Letting love and laughter lead legitimatizes the longevity of lifesaving leisures. And zo, I embrace the zippy, the zingy, and the zany, like a Zealot, cuz lets be honest, everyone could use a little ZEST in their life. **In clearer words, (and to not drive all who read this too crazy <3)** When I rolled those click clacks for the very first time, it was magical to say the least. Due to being at an amazing table, I was able to experiment and truly express myself in ways I never thought I could. And so now, years later, whenever I GM a game at my local Queer Center, I always try to encourage that magical feeling in my players. As a GM, my job is to give my players a good time. I want my players to feel comfortable and free to express themselves and their ideas. To be their most authentic self in a game of pretend. Art imitates life as they say. TTRPGs are very communal games, and therefore everyone deserves their own spotlight and chance to truly engage with the narrative. But never at the cost of another player's consent and comfort. My table is a place of refuge and revelry, not a place of distrust and disarray. Its my job to make each one of my players feel like the heroes of their own stories, not the villains.

Creating your character
Characters will be made before the session starts in either the discord server itself or during session 0. ~ We will be using the Daggerheart Core Rule Book, WHILE also using any VOID (playtest) content. ~ Your starting level will be at level 2. ~ If you have ANY questions about mechanics, rules, character creation, etc, PLEASE message me and I will be happy to answer. ~ Your character CANNOT be evil aligned, unless every player consents to it. _____ I will be providing every player access to Demiplane's Character Builder and database utilizing my content sharing ability. However, each player will only have access while they are at my table and will end a week after the session. This is due to the limited number of people that I can content share with. ______ Soul Keep specific character requirements: ~ Your character will be dead at the start of the session, so please have a character that you are ok with being deceased. ~ Your character will be fighting to save their soul from oblivion and CAN LOSE, resulting in perma-death.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Characters, Safety Tools, and the like will be made and discussed over on my discord server, The Crystalline Caverns. So you will need a Discord account. Some combat may occur on Roll20's VTT, so you will need an account there as well. In the discord you will be given your own private text channel for Player x GM discussions as well as have access to all of your other players to discuss things together! Every Player is allotted 1 free Discord call anytime before the paid session to discuss things over the phone. Session 0 is free and will occur in the voice channel in the discord once all players are accounted for.
