About the adventure
**WE ARE NEARING THE END OF A STORY SEASON, AND POTENTIALLY THE CAMPAIGN! PLEASE NOTE THIS WHEN JOINING!** 😈 Escape Your Mundane Life for Magical Adventures 😱 Discover the Mysteries of Those That Came Before 🌌 Learn of What Awakens... All you had known was the little town of Aphlin. You held (and still do) solid roots in this humble place, be it a job, familial obligations, or maybe an education. However, it all changed when you and your friends discovered mysterious ruins in the forests nearby...forests that you have been explicitly told NEVER to enter. Now? You wield strange powers exceeding those of the local clerics. However, they cannot know...

About me
👋 28 yr old Zillenial 🎙️ Professional voice actor (Halfdan in Genshin Impact, Delgado in Predator: Killer of Killers) ✨ Sci fi & fantasy enjoyer ✋ I do not use AI to generate campaigns or tokens Hi there! Looking for a roleplay centric table to play out your character? Love campy environments and the warm feeling of sitting around a table with friends telling stories? I'm the Gamemaster for you!! I'm an easygoing, flexible, and adaptive Gamemaster, always ready to pivot for the needs of the player and table. I love performing, and I bring that to the table, with character voices and vibrant descriptions. I love my silly little worlds! I love helping people explore, interact, and play! I had dabbled here and there in 5th Edition Dungeon & Dragons for a while, before I dove in headfirst at the beginning of 2020. After playing for a while, I tried my hand at GMing, and I fell in love with it. It's truly one of the most fulfilling experiences in life, and I would be honored to GM for you! <3

Creating your character
✨ When creating your character, give them a mundane job/responsibility/obligation within the town of Aphlin, something that they will be invested in cultivating in addition to their calling to their strange powers. Keep in mind the tension between the two worlds. For more world lore, send me a message for clarification! ✨ We will be loosely using the Brink of the Abyss series base. ✨ We'll do character creation over DMs or in the Discord category! Newer player? No problem! I'll walk you through. ✨ When the character is complete, please send me the PDF!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please have: ✨ A quiet place and an internet connection ✨ Discord account ✨ Reliable microphone (Webcam not required!) ✨ Some way to write text over PDF or image files (for character sheets)
What Alessa brings to the table
I'm bringing: ✨ A Discord server for our game ✨ Owlbear Rodeo VTT ✨ Music for ambience ✨ Character voices ✨ Girl by Moonlight Core Book
Homebrew rules
✨ Although the book establishes Cut To The Action rules to immediately jump into the action, we will be slowing the pace of our story as appropriate, so instead we will be taking our time with character introductions and small missions and conflicts to get to know the table as players and characters. It helps everyone mesh better. ✨ We will be loosely using the Brink of the Abyss series base, adapting content as relevant to our story.
