About the adventure
After two major wars and key technological discoveries, electroplasmic fusion has dramatically reshaped the city of Doskvol. In the Swinging Sixties, there's a plasmovision in every home, an autopod in every driveway, and the B.L.U.E. array overhead keeps the supernatural horrors of the deathlands at bay. (Mostly.) For average citizens it's an age of science, conformity, and consumerism. But you're no average citizen. You know the streets and you’re not afraid of danger. Your moment is now. -- In this campaign, you'll find a fully re-imagined Doskvol, ready to explore. Subversive spy games, daring heists, and paranormal mindbenders all await you as you take on the role of Radicals, Swingers, Intellectuals and Paranomalists. You'll join forces with hard-bitten fixers, ex-military Veterans, shadowy Operatives, and outcast souls sealed inside a robot body. It's time to get groovy, it's time to get dangerous, it's time to get weird with Blades '68.

About me
Hi! I'm Cath. Long time player, first time GM. What I lack in experience, I make up for with a long history as a writer, actor, and yapper. My philosophy in the games I plan to run is to provide a rich world that will be the playground for the players to create the stories that they wish to, with character that matter to them. Open communication between GM and player is super important to me and that everyone in the table is comfortable and happy.

Creating your character
We will be having a Session 0 which will include character creation. Pilot Episode Policy: For all new players to the game, you have the freedom to change anything about your character after your first session. The includes minor changes to disciplines and/or backstory, or changing the character completely. Any changes made should be finalized before the next session as the character is now considered locked into the chronicle. All actions done in the previous session will not change and are still considered canon.

What Cath brings to the table
I will provide the VTT via Roll20 as well as music, vibes, and attempted voice acting. My GM style is like a reality TV show producer. You can have your own story line that we will work together to incorporate or I will push you into the drama myself. I can be your enemy or your friend but you will get your screen time.

How Cath creates a safe table
When you request to join, I will send you the Safety Tool Checklist. Upon completion, please let me know along with your discord id. We will have a short introductory interview where i will also give you the link to the discord. We will also going through Lines and Veils consolidation as a group during Session 0. For this, we will be using the Palette system: https://possumcreek.medium.com/the-palette-grid-a-safety-tool-e66520c6971c Every session will have a 10-15 minute break and end with a debrief and aftercare session to get everyone back to level. This is an inclusive table. While I believe that we must acknowledge the unsavory parts of our history and society, I do not believe in hurting people needlessly. This game is a safe space. Bigotry or hatred towards (but isn't limited to) religious views, race, gender identity, and sexual preference is not tolerated and will result in an immediate kick.
