About the adventure
In a world called Yarn, a great mystery lives. one that spans generations of seekers, many say that legends from the distent past haunt our beautiful world, others say that what they call haunt is blessed. Items called Fables exist in the world, and in each fable, a spirit that may manifest into a physical being, they have their own languges and manners, they dont live by the rules of men, but many would claim Fable relic, and use them to obtain magic, each Fable has powers, one may breath fire, another may be a great warrior, another might be able to find any item, they are based on real life legends. Our story will happen in one of 4 towns/villages the players will choose from, all player charecters will come from the same place or around it, and will losely know of eachother's existence, you play as a common town's folk or villager, but the spiritual leaders of the place explain that a power awakens inside our homes, and if fully awaken our home will fall into ruins, and the leaders send your group to ask for help. More info will be given based on the starting point the players choose. This is a rustic/natural fantasy world, where nature is great and massive, beasts that do not exist or has ceased to exist return to walk the lands, but in this world you play a simple human, a simple villager or townfolk, from a farmer to a young noble, a shaman or a knight, you are so tiny compared to the world, but you will find your place within it. This story is about its heros, how they grow with eachother and rise to greatness from the smallest places, a young hunter may later become a great general leading a fight against a tyrant empire. Even in greatness the simple joys of life are important, the brewing of tea, or talking to your family, here comes the rustic part of it. This game is both for beginners and for experienced players as one, what i ask of you is to come with an open mind, play the book short tutorial, and work with eachother to build a great story, this system allows us to focus on descriptions and roleplay, while leaving combat to be more thematic than who loses how much HP. I let the players roam my sandbox world that evolved with or without them, npc's have lives outside of our story, and interacting with them and with the world is the most fun part of my worldbuilding, while threats may come and go, the bonds you make together will stay forever. Because this is a sandbox world, you may choose when to retire your charecter, usually when it stops being such a simple person in a complex world, and because of that campaigns can range from a few sessions, to years!

About me
Hello! Im Lapis, im an artist, a writer, and a landscape arcitect, im also a DM for almost 10 years on and off through discord servers and in person groups. I have the most experience with systems that focus more on the charecters and the story over pure combat, and systemless stories aswell! I try and create a dream, something that stays with you forever, and in my world aswell, i love long stories that invest the players in them for long periods of times, spanning over many session of play. Ive been playing close to 10 systems since i started.

Creating your character
I love making charecters as a group in session zero, and letting players fill the gaps in the weeks before the first session, we start as weak individual, following the rustic way of legend in the mist. Come with as many ideas as youd like, but keep an open mind, let other influence you, let me give you ideas, but at the end of the day, play what makes your heart happy.
Everyone playing average folks from a town, that does not mean you cant be interesting, but that does mean you didnt do much with your life just yet! Make drama, have a family, have friends. The party all start with the charecter creation from the book, the simple one, you can use templates or not, but there arent "roles" to be exact.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should reach out to me through discord, where they will be moved to server for that campaign. You should prepare with a functioning microphone, pen and paper(or another way to write notes). You should be rested and have snacks, we will have breaks for every two hours of game unless asked. Everything will be mentioned again in the discord server.
What Lapis brings to the table
I try to give each npc their own personality and tone, im not the best at voices but i do try often. Usually i prepare a music bot in discord with a playlist, but it depends on demand. You should expect a lot of roleplay between you and NPCs, and between you and the other charecters, moral dilemmas, and fuctions forcing you to pick sides, wars and political fights at times. In the system of Legend in the Mist, i prefer rules as written, as its already rules light. Combat expectations - I usually do not run heavy combat campaigns, but you will find some in every story, it all depends on the players and decisions, my story is build your own path.
Homebrew rules
All depends on the players and their requests, dictated in session 0, but usually i dont see many reasons, maybe some optional rules from the book, as we will go over them.

Safety
How Lapis creates a safe table
Communication, my player's safety is my first priority, NEVER MIND WHAT. We will go over everything in session 0, and every protection method the players feel like they need will be implimented, i myself keep a document with my rules for the game and my boundries, and i start each session and end each session with a discussion about how everyone is feeling. I will be your best friend and parent when it comes to protecting your boundries and comfort, i only ask that you share every problem with me, even if it seems minor or unimportant.
