About the adventure
Its the 42nd Millennium and throughout the galaxy there is only war. But our story will not focus on the battlefields of humanity. Rather we turn to the unassuming world of Shaedon, a Hive world of immense value. On there you have been captured, your crimes deemed so great as to call upon the judgement of the Arbites themselves. But just as you were dragged out to a Penal Colony or worse, strange creatures assaulted your prisoner convoy. You were the only survivors. The burning wreckage unfortunately attracted the attention of a far more dangerous beast. An Inquisitor, the beautiful and mysterious Lara Covetus. Interested in your ability to survive against the odds she offered you the chance for redemption. In return all she asks in your eternal service in saving the planet from xenos heresy and beyond.

About me
Greetings Adventurers! My name is Ash and I've been a dreamer since I was a child. I started writing my own books and creating my own worlds since I learned how to write. I love fantasy and Sci-Fi settings and the moment I understood the possibility of being a Game Master -Creating a world then allowing my friends to play around in it-, was a new awakening for me. I have been running since 2016, usually with my own homebrew systems for my own novels, but I am happy to run whatever my players gain enjoyment from, since that is what drives me, to share an amazing experience and have fun! I take a very Libertarian approach to my games, with my strong points (as described by my players) Fantastic Worldbuilding, Immense freedom of movement, "Sandbox Feeling" (Whatever that is), Complete Chaos (Is that a good thing?), and realistic consequences. Anything is allowed, no holds barred, no railroad, no illogically imposed events and rules by me. Have fun and be good!

Safety
How Ash the Mad creates a safe table
I'll make sure every player knows what they are in for, as in a brutal world, and I will allow them to leave if they ever feel uncomfortable, I will make sure the session 0 demonstrates these enough so that players can make a choice whether to stay or not. At no point will a player be forced to sit through what they do not want to sit through.
