About the adventure
Among the Aeldari thare are many unusual factions - the Craftworld dwellers, the raiders of Comorragh, the space fairing corsairs, the Exodites and others. Among those, the ones with the most flair are you - the Harlequins! Part entertainer, part warrior, you dance upon the roads of the Webway and defend always the Black Library. To be a Harlequin is to know that your soul is condemned to be consumed by She Who Thirsts and yet to hope that Cegorach the Laughing God finds you amusing enough to save you from that terrible fate. And so it is to dance and slay! “She rose, a void of hunger given a role. The audience of gods fell. But the Trickster bowed, and his bow was the punchline, and the punchline was freedom.” - The Second Jest, an Aledari poetry collection In this game you will play as Aledari (Eldar) Harlequins using the Wrath and Glory Core rules, the Aeldari : Inheritance of Embers expansion,and some home brew rules as needed to make things smooth. New players welcome - I will be happy to teach you the Wrath and Glory system. Some familiarity with WH40k and the Eldar/Aledari Harlequins is preferred but not required. For each player I will help you make a character and do a short intro scenario "The Audition" in which you will begin your life as a Harlequin (Tier 3). In game the timeline and location will vary wildly - different story arcs may happen minutes or centuries apart. Within the sessions I aspire for the play to feel fast paced, action heavy and with as much in game RP as we can bring to a Troupe of dancing, acting, whirling death machines.

About me
A man of many hobbies, but table top roleplaying will always be my favorite one. I have been playing various RPGs for 43 years, and GMing for most of that time. What I live for in gaming is those special moments when something happens and the entire table laughs so hard they have trouble breathing. The moment when in a horror game you actually feel a skin tingling fear. When RPG pirates are so moved by camaraderie that one player writes a sea chanty about it to sing in game. When a perfect plot element comes together and we all cheer. To me that is the way to "win" an RPG - to create real fun for the whole group. I believe that all sorts of approaches can create that fun - crunchy or role play heavy, old systems and new systems, theatre of the mind and tactical role play. My intent is always to try make that possible for everyone at the table through things like sharing the spotlight, calling out your character backstory, and creating stories that revolve strongly around a given character. I also endeavor to never leave you "stuck" for a way forward on a plot. I aspire to be a fan of the player characters.

Creating your character
In this game you will play as Aledari (Eldar) Harlequins using the Wrath and Glory Core rules, the Aeldari : Inheritance of Embers expansion,and some home brew rules as needed to make things smooth. New players welcome - I will be happy to teach you the Wrath and Glory system. Some familiarity with WH40k and the Eldar/Aledari Harlequins is preferred but not required. For each player I will help you make a character and do a short intro scenario "The Audition" in which you will begin your life as a Harlequin (Tier 3) as long as you sign up more than 48 hours in advance. If there is not enough time, I will provide a Tier 2 stock character for your first game. Characters will be created in Roll20.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
I will send a link to the Discord server and my Roll20 server for this game, make sure you have accounts set up for both. I will not trouble shoot technical issues with the software.
What GM Dayv brings to the table
My GM style is vibrant and I make efforts to describe my world well and encourage you as the player to engage in the way your character seems best to fit into the world. I try my best to roleplay every NPC with some sense of verisimilitude. If we have played for some time and you have not felt like you needed to look up a rule I am doing things right.
Homebrew rules
I will modify and homebrew the supplement as needed to craft the best Harlequin players experience.
