About the adventure
This game features elements inspired by Final Fantasy and features key D&D 5E mechanics, along with some changes to immerse you into the world. "Souls of Oblivion" You are 'Aon Guards', an elite force who stand guard on the 'Orbus Crystal', an ancient structure built to bring magic to all people, through powerful resonance technologies. Your training now complete, you must take your place and protect it from harm. Your role is mostly ceremonial, as you enjoy the peace that surrounds the city and do your duties to protect this power. But forces beyond comprehension dwell within the shadows, and you will find yourslves thrown into turmoil and tragedy on a quest to save the world. GAME SETTING: The city of Atellius, and the surrounding prosperous lands of the country Aura are just the beginning! Explore a vibrant globe of diverse countries, places, cultures and peoples as you discover the truth! CHARACTERS: Any race and class is fine, with a requirement that you are all 'Military Guards' in some respect. Trained to protect the Orbus and the city. Preference for younger ages as you are recruits newly graduated (But any age is fine) GAME STYLE: Expect subterfuge, politics, battles, theivery and disaster in a grand adventure that twists and turns in a way that only a Final Fantasy style story can, growing well beyond the scope of the initial conditions. STARTING LEVEL: Start at level 3, and can be pre rolled and set up in D&D Beyond or on Paper. Remember you are guards, sworn to protect the city! EQUIPMENT: All standard equipment is ok, but theme it around a guard who is preparing for a shift on duty. Standard equipment will be provided with each character allowed to specialise. RUNNING: Discord is preferred and I can send you a link to my server where I will run the games for the group. A Character Profile Picture and Character Full Body Picture are best practice so I can set up the Production fully for the game. Creating a profile on reactive.fugi.tech and uploading your pictures for your Character Profile Picture before the game will be a big help but I can help set this up in Session Zero/One I use a combination of Physical Miniatures and Digital ones on a full OBS Production stage with animation, sound and music. (See Youtube for some of my existing games with my friends)(More recent ones are obviously better production but they are all fun! 😂) I will have many vibrant NPCs with Voices and roleplaying as the story unfolds. I will send each player a Video Record of the game for you to keep, and if all players are excited about the option, we can Livestream the game on Twitch, and I can Publish it to Youtube if all players are happy for this to happen. I am a believer in The Rule Of Cool! If there is a good narrative reason why that fun thing you want to do should work, then we are going for it! -Session Zero for a discussion around any X_Cards, or Veils/Lines. Normally these can be shared annonymously with myself.

About me
"Welcome adventurers to a place of infinite worlds, unknown tales, and forgotten lore. Perhaps you will be the one to uncover it?" My name is Nichi, and I am the Dungeon Master who will take you on endless journeys through the lost places of combined imagination. I have been running games for over 15 years, starting with my friends when we were just teenagers, and extending to a 60 member in person, weekly D&D club at my University, and now establishing a D&D Club with 80-100 attending, in person, every week, for 50 weeks of the year, and running for over 3 years in Brisbane Australia at our local Pub. I also run livestream campaigns for two groups weekly which now have more than 50 episodes and involve deep emotional storytelling, along with shorter series with comical or themed events. All my games are run within deep worlds, that my players describe as "full" "engaging" and "expansive" and I pride myself on delivering an incredible experience for all my players that is unique to every group. I sincerely hope you will choose me to lead our colllaborative story, and embark upon adventures with me. In dice and adventure Nichi

How Nicholas Stanton-Cook creates a safe table
We will have discussions on Discord, both before, and after games as well as between games, including text based RPs if the players/DM wants to have them. Any isses can be brought to myself directly in confidence and I will discuss any issues before or during games if content needs to be changed. Any content that one player does not feel comfortable with, will be removed or changed and if required, all players will be told in provate to avoid that content.
