About the adventure
Playing for the first time? Returning nostalgic? Either way, join a game of people who love to think back to when we all spend our time making up rules and telling stories with our childhood friends. This is for you. We will dive into a narrative of young students learning to understand the evocative nature of their home world. Rapidly evolving species rally the fields, lurk below the earth, and travel the heights of mountain and sky. Whoever taught you to never go out alone in the wilds, had you probably close to their heart. Did your parents show you the way of hunting, do you strive to become a famous tracker to uncover species and walk untraveled grounds? Is it the study of biomancy that stimulates your intellect? Or to craft protective gear with materials harvested from the threats preying upon your settlement? Choose a path, trust your choice, and find friendship in the eye of danger. Find out why you hold the power to ensure safety in this reign of chaos.

About me
Trying to preserve that childhood feeling of slaying imaginary foes with sticks, when trees felt like home, and new stories unfold wherever you go ~ Hi friends, happy to have you around! Grab some tea & have a read ☕ My name's Kora. Designing Escape Rooms is what I do for a living, and I explore myself through music and voice acting. I love playing TTRPGs for the sake of creative freedom and the wholesome atmosphere, created by fellows like you and I, consenting to fully immerse ourselves in our make-believe world 🌞 I'm a fool for back-and-forth interactive storytelling, for tension-loaded or light-hearted roleplay, and creating creativity-centered mechanics, but missing enough people to take them to action with. Perhaps you are the one, holding the power to change that? 📝🔥 My DMing and Pen & Paper experience turns 8 this year! So are ya' interested in a Custom Setting? Can Do! 🎂🤓 Anything can be customized - from Player Options to Rules or Adventures - I will put all my heart into making this YOUR experience. Want to play as a group of new-generation animal-beings, living through survival challenges of a post-apocalyptic earth, while discovering remnants of past times and the weird consequences of our present mistakes? (Try reading this fast 😂) With the right formula of interactiveness, an open mind and respectful, direct communication, anything is possible. The 2 languages we can settle for are ENGLISH and GERMAN. Cya! ✨

What Kora brings to the table
📖 Your Story 📖 Character creation is an exciting process that lives on in the adventure. Through regular catch ups between sessions, we will talk about your vision of your character, and make sure you have the most fun roleplaying and feel comfortable with it. ⭐ My Focus ⭐ Whether by word, visuals or audio, creating an atmosphere we can all immerse ourselves in and feel inspired, is what I love doing the most. Getting creative with your input, passing the ball back to you with emotion focused descriptions, or asking questions that help you think from your characters' perspective. In the end, playing TTRPGs together means to me to establish a safe-space, where we all feel comfortable doing silly voices, sharing heartfelt moments, and lock in together when a scene demands tension. ⚖️ Weighing Rules ⚖️ It's much more important to me to have a cool idea ignite excitement in us all than to look up rules. We prioritize feeling good with our collective gaming experience. But in the dire cases, should stakes be high, and the atmosphere profits from the rigidness of rules, we will all take a breath to ensure the right decision. 🕰️ Play Time 🕰️ Session times and game day can be adjusted to suit everyone. Just let us know about it, and we'll figure it out from there together.
