About the adventure
At BFA the continent’s premier officer academy you’ll split your time between campus life and real deployments. Each in-game month follows an academy calendar: train skills, attend lectures, explore the grounds, and then head out on “field studies” that start as bandit clean-ups and monster hunts but soon pull you into wars of faith, crown, and old grudges. Relics, and saintly myths aren’t just flavor they’re levers you’ll use (or defy) to shape the future. This campaign blends Fire Emblem: Three Houses style character drama with crisp, tactical battles. Expect meaningful choices, branching relationships, and missions where formation, terrain, gambits, and timing matter. Between fights, you’ll recruit classmates, improve facilities, assign classes and certifications, and build Support bonds that unlock new combat options and roleplay scenes. It’s welcoming to newcomers and satisfying for veterans. I teach mechanics as we play. Permadeath is opt-in (we can use injuries or captures instead), romance is optional, and consent tools are in place. If you want a story forward tactical game where your House’s decisions change the map and how the songs remember you this is for you. If you're more into none three houses Fire Emblem, I can do it too if agreed upon by everyone. Note this is a text based live game taking place every week for about 4 hours in roll20

About me
Hello! I'm Ariel. I've been GMing games for well over 9 years and running. Though, I haven't really started really investing myself in it until I've become cursed with the deadly Forever GM curse for my starting group. I've grown to have a lot of fun running games, stories, and prioritizing the rule of fun over the Rules as written approach. Whacky and Crazy ideas are always allowed to be attempted. I do not discriminate people for coming from different fandoms and accept them all equally. Be it Brony, Furry, scaley, Anime. Though I do advise not actively talking about them if some people are not comfortable with it. I started as a Roleplayer and specialize mostly in Text games. As I lack the ability's to put on a good show, but I try to make up for it with detailed/descriptive writing. I'm not perfect, or the best. But, I do immerse myself in the story and trying to make sure everyone is involved and occupied. While shining the spotlight at least once on every member of the party throughout the game and campaign.
