About the adventure
The recent untimely and mysterious death of the Emerald Champion, Doji Satsume of the Crane Clan, has thrown the Emerald Empire into turmoil. Each of the Great Clans suspiciously eyes the others and wonders whether the death was no tragic accident, but a dishonorable act of murder. In these times of strife, a group of youths approaches the village of Tsuma for the Topaz Championship and their gempuku, the coming-of-age ceremony that will mark them as fully fledged samurai. Each contestant has come from a different clan and dreams of being the highest-scoring contestant in the tournament, earning the title of Topaz Champion. Despite being pitted against one another, they are all united in their desire to succeed and bring honor to their clan and family. Not everyone in Tsuma has honorable motives for the contest, however. Personal vendettas, supernatural visitations, and deadly sabotage may undermine the following days—unless the new arrivals stay true to the Code of Bushidō and act as the honorable samurai they seek to become.

About me
I love tabletops, both for the creativity they force both the players and GM to bring to bear, and for the camaraderie they build within everyone. I am not a GM that is incredibly Rule-Heavy, instead I see the Rules as a Guideline for players and their Storyteller to have a similar basis for understanding. I have experience as a Storyteller for Pathfinder 2e, Pokémon Tabletop United/Advanced, Shadowrun, Glitterhearts, Chronicles of Darkness, and more. Homebrew is welcome (upon review). And I am willing to learn new Games if a party gets the itch for something specific. LGBT+ friendly!

Creating your character
Character Creation will be done together as a group during session 0, if possible. For anyone joining afterwards, we will need to arrange a time to go through the process together one-on-one.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Ideally, all players should have a stable internet connection, computer, and a microphone. While reading the rules ahead of time will help, it is not, strictly speaking, required.
