About the adventure
We know the tales as written. But even Destiny himself doesn't know how things will ultimately go...or what will get changed in the process. This is a roleplay based on The Sandman TV show (with some comic influences but mainly the Netflix Show)! You will create a character and walk with The Endless- and other DC characters as fate decides- to see what changes in your version of the story. ---------- *New Players Welcome! This is a campaign using the Cortex Prime system, so there's going to be a lot to explore and discover together! *All Players Included! This table will be a welcoming and safe space, for any player to come enjoy themselves, regardless of identity. *Full Campaign! I will weave your characters into the fabric of the story, including callbacks to any history, and plotlines to have the world come alive for you. Soon after we introduce ourselves and get acquainted with the world, we will have a full fledged campaign running! *PBP Add-On! This is completely optional, but you can keep the adventures going even after Session ends! For the rest of the time in between games, we can set up a Play By Post thread that allows you to do things you couldn't during the session! Message for more info!

About me
AKA AJ Black on the interwebs! I've been a gamer for years, and tabletops were just a natural evolution of that. My first memory of playing was a Star Wars adventure with my brother and uncle, and I've been hooked ever since. It was only a matter of time until I got the itch to host games, and the catalyst for it was my partner, who'd never played tables before but was interested. I gathered a group of friends around us, and I never looked back. 14 games, 6 years, and a lot of lessons later, here we are. I am still growing, and I'll be the first to admit that, but my focus is on ensuring my players have a great time to forget about life's problems for a few hours. I specialize in Star Wars games, but have branched out recently into a few different things, including the new Marvel game that released last year, and Dr. Who. When you play with me, you get a DM who's just as excited for every session as (hopefully) their players are! You also get someone who's laid back and follows the rule of cool more often than not. I play my games almost exclusively through Discord, mostly afternoons/evenings, and we use theatre of the mind, though if the situation calls for it I will discuss other options. The only thing I ask is that if we set up a time to meet, please keep me appraised of what's going on. I understand that sometimes life happens, and I will work with you, but I can't do anything if I don't know about it. Let me know ASAP if you need to drop or skip a session, and I will accommodate you to the best of my ability.

Creating your character
We will make characters during our Session 0, after we go over everything related to world-building using a Pathways-style method That being said, character IDEAS are fantastic. But the actual creation will be with everyone that way we can bounce off of each other and begin to weave our narrative together.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
*Discord REQUIRED (It's Free) *A couple of full dice sets (Physical or Virtual, and I will look into a Cortex-specific roller if requested) *Audio REQUIRED (You don't have to talk, but you do have to be able to hear me. Whether that's headsets, speakers, etc) *Voice ENCOURAGED but not required- we have text channels for those unwilling/unable to talk *Cameras NOT REQUIRED (If you want to, then feel free) *A way to take down character notes (Pen/Pad, Google Docs, etc)
What Brandon brings to the table
I will provide the Discord links, and everything you need to make a character. When it comes to in-game play, I prefer to use theatre of the mind, so there is very little in the way of maps and things. THIS WILL BE VERY HEAVY ROLEPLAY! I will discuss characters and how they work, so that I can weave them into the story as it continues, especially with the "episodic" nature of this game.

Safety
How Brandon creates a safe table
I always do a Session 0 so that we can go over the content as well as discuss anything that needs discussed. I will be messaging my players individually as well, so that some lines can stay anonymous. When it comes to pause cards (X,N,O) those are an all hands, any time deal. Whenever something crosses the line or someone feels like we are heading that way, they can do whatever makes them best comfortable, whether thats sending me a private message or flat out stopping the game. I value my players' security and comfortability, while also acknowledging that sometimes you don't know what's too much until you hit it. So at any time, at any moment, in any scene, my players can stop the action so that we can discuss it.
