About the adventure
~This game has a Trial period, the first 4 sessions will be at $5 so you can see if you mesh with me as a DM and the other players, Then it rises to my standard rate of $25 if you wish to continue.~ Thresholds are those who have crafted a Domain. Who have tossed their soul into the outer void and lassoed a piece of a destroyed world and tied it into the inner void, and their own soul. These "World Pieces" a Threshold adds onto their Domain give them various and differing magical abilities, all influenced by the first one that founded the Domain. Thresholds used to be more prevalent, used to hold major power in the world. Now progress and industry and the better answer to the worlds problems. After all, why pay a Threshold a large sum of gold to travel across the region by magic when you can pay in silver for a two day train ride. Why seek out a Threshold who focuses on healing and bow to their whims to earn the right to save your child, when you can simply see a doctor. Why rely on A threshold to fight everything that goes bump in the night when anyone with a gun can fell most foes. And now that the world has these options, many see thresholds as dangerous. Becoming one means tossing your soul into the Outer Void, and having it at the mercy to demons, to the strange and insane beings who have survived the destruction of their worlds and if given the chance will devour the soul of a would be Threshold to ride the connection back to their world and wreak havoc in their body. Why would anyone take that risk? Fools. This is the world you live in. As a Threshold you are a part of the H.P Mattock Consulting Agency, Magic Division. A successful Private sector Agency based in The Free City of Angora. No matter the times, magic still exists, and with the drop in arcane studies and practitioners, few know how to deal with magical issues. That's where you come in.

About me
Hi, my name is Ergo , I'm a 33-year-old Game master looking to make an actual career in this community. My Creative background began in childhood getting lost in book after book and wanting to have an impact on the world and help the protagonists in their journey. I started playing ttrpg's in 2015 and of course, became the forever GM because no one else wanted to do it. Thus began the creation of my own worlds and the characters that fill them. I love to make games that have heavy player involvement. Want a thieves guild in the city? Done. Wizards tower in the desert? Done. Space station taken over by androids? Already have a name for it. Narrative matters the most to me but boy do I love some crunchy combat.

Creating your character
if you're a part of session 0 it will have an onboarding session 0 where we will talk about the world and make your character together with the others. This will count as the first of your 4 trial sessions. If you join later we will have the Onboarding session 0 and will pay the full price of $25 but will have 4 sessions at the Trial cost of $5 (This is due to too many people spending 2 hours of my time for session 0 and then pulling no shows so I can at least get something for my time)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a Mic, a discord account, a roll20 account, and headphones as I use music and other audio aids. We will discuss webcams in session 0 but will not be required.
What Ergo brings to the table
I bring the rules, a well built and interesting world, and a safe and inclusive place to play and have fun

How Ergo creates a safe table
We will have an onboarding session 0 whether you start with the group or join later, during which we will go over lines and veils as well as anything else we need to make sure you feel the table is a safe space to play in.
