About the adventure
Collaboratively craft an original JRPG-inspired world, before taking charge of its story as a band of lovable heroes! Take your place among the pantheon of classic JRPG protagonists and defeat the terrible Villains in an all-new adventure! Using Fabula Ultima's cooperative world creation process, we will work together in our session 0 to create an expansive world with varied cultures, histories and plotlines for our heroes to explore. Then, I'll flesh it out into a professional campaign! Our party of adventurers will set forth in a world of our collective making to help others, fight monsters, and save the world!

About me
Welcome to the Adventure Theater! I'm Li (also known as Liam or Lian), and I enjoy few things as much as I enjoy helping a player bring their characters to life, whether that means fleshing out backstories, integrating them into the world via original NPCs or locations, or throwing wrenches in their plans like a devious little monkey who wants nothing more than to see them cry. It's all good fun! And the stories I've had the honor of witnessing have been truly awe-inspiring and humbling. Join me on these crazy adventures, and we'll find your place in our shared fantasies!

Creating your character
During the session 0, we'll determine what kind of world your stories will be playing out in - whether it be techno, high fantasy or another genre altogether. That's when we'll start making concepts of your characters. You are more than welcome to come to the s0 with a certain build you'd like to play in mind, but the actual character concept should remain fluid until we're finished establishing the world. Characters will, as is standard in Fabula Ultima, start at level 5, with class levels spread across a minimum of two classes and a maximum of three. They will be made using the Ultimate Story extension for Owlbear Rodeo (which can be further accessorized with GIFs to help visualize your actions and spells!).
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have functioning microphones and be confident in their computer's ability to run Owlbear Rodeo, as well as be able to participate in voice calls with minimal disruptions. No installations are necessary. I allow you to roll either physical or digital dice, and I'm not going to hound after you to validate each roll if I can't immediately see it.
What Li brings to the table
A growing library of Fabula Ultima materials, a curated VTT experience via Owlbear Rodeo, and custom soundtracks to keep us in the mood! I also love to fully act out my NPCs and characters, as well as giving dramatic narration to truly set the scene.

How Li creates a safe table
The content warnings tagged are things I believe should be assumed for this adventure, although given that it isn't, by nature, a pre-written or planned adventure, there's a high probability that one or more of them will never show up in this campaign. I don't expect too much in the way of triggering content in these adventures, but just in case, we have a variety of safety tools in place in order to make sure everyone is safe and well throughout the adventure. Players can expect a fun, relaxed and respectful environment, with a focus on roleplay. Beginners are welcome, and I'm happy to take the time to help newcomers understand the flow of play. I will be holding a session 0 to establish rules, boundaries, and expectations for the group in order to keep everything fun and safe for everyone, as well as to review player characters, answer questions and talk about preferences.
