About the adventure
Step out of your quiet village and into a world where magic breathes. Whether you are a wandering scholar, a brave protector, or an ancient spirit yourself, your humble beginnings are about to collide with an ancient, world-spanning mystery. Like a classic JRPG protagonist, you’ll follow the call of a fallen star to become the hero the world needs. In this adventure, you will pilot hand-cranked airships, negotiate with whimsical forest spirits, and face corrupted guardians trying to encroach on the world of spirits. You will fight to protect the natural world from those who would see it destroy! You can expect: ✨ A World of Wonder: A world inspired by the themes and aesthetic of the worlds represented in Ghibli movies, such as ecology, discovery and wonder. ✨ A Story of Your Making: In Fabula Ultima, we create the world together. That means you get to make it your own! ✨ Leaning into the genre: In Natural Fantasy stories, everything has a soul. We tell stories of clashing communities and juxtaposition of magic and technology as both having light and dark sides. ✨ Cinematic Tactical Combat: Experience the "TTJRGP" (Tabletop JRPG) feel with strategic, stylized combat that rewards teamwork and creativity! ✨ Safety & Inclusion: A cozy, welcoming table for queer folks and POC. We use safety tools to ensure the game stays wondrous and comfortable for all. The world map is blank, and the first chapter is waiting to be written. Pack your gear, trust in your companions, and let’s begin your odyssey. Book your seat today and let the music of the world guide you!

About me
Hi, I'm Walid! 👋 I have been hooked on TTRPGs since 2015. Over the last decade, I’ve been running weekly one-shots across dozens of systems and managing epic, long-term campaigns. I bring a decade of passion to every session! My Experience: I have been running games for nearly a decade, fueled by a passion for collaborative creativity. My goal is to create a dynamic table where the narrative breathes. I thrive on reading the room—knowing exactly when to lean into a dramatic beat or when to let the table erupt in laughter. Play with me if you want a GM who is as invested in your character's ups and downs as you are. My Background: I discovered the hobby in 2015 via Actual Plays and haven't looked back. I have experience with a vast library of indie systems (my faves!) and the industry's biggest titles. Outside the Game: When I'm not prepping sessions (or organizing my life via Excel spreadsheets), I am studying Philosophy and Political Science in Montréal. I love cinema, video games, and showing off my cat to my players. Let's tell a story together :)

Creating your character
Characters will be created entirely during Session 0, as this process will likely be strongly influenced by the world we create beforehand! No restriction on classes, as long as it's from an official source. Starting Level is 5.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Mics are required, cameras are optional but recommended! All you need to play is a Roll20 and Discord account.
What Walid brings to the table
All rule books will be provided. Most importantly, I consider players to be the driving force of any story! I'm here to react to your inputs, your wants and needs for the story. I use ambient music and sound effects on Discord to set the tone at the table. I very much enjoy doing character voices, roleplaying intense moments, letting characters take the spotlight when needed! I also enjoy giving creative inputs to my players in the heat of the moment. Allowing them to describe an NPC, tell me something about a neighborhood or a faction... If that's something you think you'll enjoy, I am very excited to have you at my table! Worldbuilding is my strong suit, I will take the ideas provided by the players during Session 0 and expand on them to create a complex, rich world for us to play in!

Safety
How Walid creates a safe table
Session 0 will be an opportunity for us to talk about Lines and Veils (which will be able to be brought to the table anonymously), as well as set the tone more specifically with everyone. This is an opportunity to facilitate our cooperation and see if you mesh with the group! My games have an Open Door policy: you are free to leave the virtual table and the game as a whole at any moment without owing an explanation and without judgement. For our in-session safety tools, I use Script Change through a Roll20 add-on, which I'll explain during Session 0. In brief, Script Change is a safety tool that allows to control the pacing of the game both for comfort and to give input to the GM during our session.
