About the adventure
Those words you chanted as that symbol seared onto your flesh... "Heed my voice, you who dwell in the halls of myth! O figure of valor, wisdom, passion, or ruin; whose story echoes through unending ages! I offer my will as the bridge between us. If our desires align... Let your spirit answer this call... Arise, Heroic Spirit of Yore... and let your legend walk the world again!" The very air around you shook and hummed with each uttered syllable... A Wish in Your Heart, A Legend at Your Side, and a War Unlike Any Other Lie in wait ahead... Will you answer The Grail's Call? Or will the City descend into Madness and Slaughter in the shadow of The War for The Holy Grail? ========================== When a flawed reconstruction of an ancient Grail system is activated in a dense modern city built atop a powerful leyline nexus, the ritual does something no magus ever intended... it awakens a Grand Grail, a single wish-granting engine with enough Prana to summon far more Servants than any traditional Holy Grail War could sustain. The ritual surged out of control. Masters began appearing across the city, their Command Spells searing into existence as the Grail forcibly forged contracts. Rival magical orders, religious societies, family lineages, and even completely unprepared civilians find themselves pulled into a War that no one expected! The number of Servants manifesting is uncertain, even to the participants. Some Servants materialize immediately, others slip into spirit form and are only sensed as distant pressure, and a few arrive hours, days, weeks, and even seemingly months after the War has already begun! The city becomes a labyrinth of overlapping bounded fields, unstable leyline flares, and Noble Phantasms clashing in the shadows. While the Grail remains a single artifact, its power is so immense that the War threatens to spill beyond the control of the War's Supervisors. Unchecked, the Grail may endanger not just the city where the war takes place, but perhaps even the entire world...

About me
🏳️🌈 Queer and Neurodivergent Safe Table 🏳️🌈 📖 All Levels of Experience Welcome 📖 🎓 Happy to Teach 🎓 💗 Safety Tools Always Included 💗 I've always had a deep love for creating fascinating worlds, epic tales, and situations for players to engage in and solve however they can. I promise to present you with sessions of engaging stories, intense moments, and dramatic moments as we experience the stories of these worlds and watch the character's stories unfold before our eyes. While new to SPG, I have been a part-time Professional Game Master since 2022. I have run over 100 sessions for my players, ranging from a custom-built solo campaign tailored for one to having up to six players enjoy a grand tale spanning years of sessions! Be it slaying (or Slaying ;D) a dragon, taking over a nation through skillful manipulation, battling evils beyond mortal comprehension, or fighting the very Gods themselves, I assure you that these will be tales to remember! I've been a Game Master since high school, running games for over a decade. I'm confident you and I will try to extend the session's length by as much as possible!

Creating your character
Character Creation will take place in 2 Stages, as all players will be creating a Master and a Heroic Spirit character. Character Creation will take place under the GM's Guidance during a Group Session 0 or an Individual Session 0, depending on the group's availability. All Fabula Ultima Books Are Available for use and will be provided to players via Google Drive. At a Minimum, the Corebook and Zero Power Rules from the High Fantasy Atlas will be needed for the creation of your Heroic Spirit Characters.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have access to a Computer (desktop, laptop, or otherwise), a Stable Internet Connection, and a Discord Account. Players should have a Microphone OR be proficient with Discord's Text-to-Speech Functionality if they lack a microphone or are unable to speak for an extended period of time. If you need to create a Discord account, go to Discord.com and follow the instructions. Players do not need to be familiar with the rules, but it never hurts to give them a read! I am more than willing to teach and explain things as often as needed! Character creation is done collaboratively, and I will make pre-made characters available upon request at least 4 hours before the game starts. Generally, it should be assumed that players are prepared to create their characters in Session 0 with my assistance.

Homebrew rules
To properly adapt the Fate Franchise's use of a Master Character and a Heroic Spirit Character, players will make 2 characters following slightly different rules for each. For Heroic Spirits, they will start at a higher level agreed upon by the players, so they may gain access to their Zero Powers (Acting as the Character's Noble Phantasm) either immediately or early into the game's run. Master Characters will be made a modified version of the Faithful Companion Rules. Characters using the Arcanist can use the Variant Rules from the Playtest Ruleset if they so choose in place of the normal rules.

How Dragon Of Dice creates a safe table
Important: I employ a specific set of tools both during and after sessions. During Sessions, my Virtual Tabletop (FoundryVTT), which my games are run in, has a module that allows any player to immediately call for a pause, fade to black, intermission, fast-forward the scene, or retroactively roll back and redo a scene. This will be one of the 1st things I point players toward, and I will frequently remind them of its presence and make sure everyone is familiar with its use. Some games will also require external surveys, such as through Google Forms, so I can best place you and keep a clear record of what I need to consider when running for you and your group(s). These forums can be updated if needed, but they serve as a reference for me. Anything I present to other players will be anonymized, without revealing details.
