About the adventure
Being a hero is rewarding but tiring work. The three-storied bathhouse inn was your solution for a lovely break but the ceiling was ripped off during the evening and demons are pooling in. You hear pained screams of civilians and the building feels like it is trembling! Save everyone and destroy the invading forces. Time is ticking. This afternoon chaos is only the beginning however. Once you step outside, you'll realise its happening everywhere?! Its too late... The city is overrun by the great conqueror's army of demons and flying bomb-droppers. The city-wide invasion cannot be defeated. Save as many civilians as you can while you find a safehouse and then plot a path out of the city! Delve into the world of Draw Steel through this Learn to Play experience! No need to stress about understanding the rules or being a master strategist of combat! My goal is to help you dive into the game and provide a safe and comfortable space to make mistakes, experiment, and have fun!

About me
Hello there, Somnus (they/sun) here! Writer, Game Designer, Voice Actor, and Gendervoid Entity 🍵🧣. Let me be your guide into countless lands of fantasy, fear, and fun. I love creating evocative worlds for you to experience, which will constantly develop as you interact with it and make meaningful decisions. Uncover the setting through play, face untold dangers, and forge memories you'll hold forever. My tables are friendly to complete beginners—I love teaching people new games and getting you more accommodated to the fun world of TTRPGs.

Creating your character
• During Session 0 we'll establish our safety tools and introduce each other. • We will create characters together during Session 0. You can optionally choose a pre-made character. We'll tie our characters together by asking what adventure are they returning from when they arrive at the bathhouse and inn. • We will make our characters in FoundryVTT, but this optional online character creator is one way to visualise the building process https://forgesteel.net/ • We'll then use the remaining time of Session 0 to jump into play! Otherwise Session 1 will be when we jump into the chaos. New Joiners: • Anyone that joins later or needs to create a new character, will make a character at the party's current level or choose a premade one and level it up. • Before the next game session, I will have a voice-chat discussion with you that substitutes the Session 0 you missed. If you join just before the next session (likely within 48 hours) and I don't have enough time to talk to you, you'll skip and join the session after.

How Somnus Grey creates a safe table
🛡️｜SAFETY TOOLS ・During Session 0 we will discuss Lines and Veils and have an ongoing document for that. ・I also employ the safety tool Script Change ⏯️ by Beau Jágr Sheldon (http://briebeau.com/scriptchange), which replaces X, N, O Cards. ・A 10 minute break will occur roughly halfway through the session. ・Further details of all tool implementations are provided within the discord server. Feel free to ask any questions for clarification.
