About the adventure
--Campaign is welcoming new players-- Join a band of misfits, forged together by fate and circumstance. The campaign has just started and we are happy to welcome new faces to the party. Rolling hills, green pastures and the scent of apple blossoms. The world is an idyllic, peaceful place. Cunning fae, wicked witchcraft and shambling undead. There is more to the world than meets the eye. In this campaign, you take on the role of simple folk - smiths, traders, farmers - who heed the call of adventure and discover a world of wonder and magic. HIGHLIGHTS ✨Free Catch-Up-Session* ✨Collaborative Storytelling - Your ideas shape the world we play in. ✨Human art by real people. No generative AI in sight. ✨Friendly to all LGBTQ+. I strive for a welcoming and safe table. ✨Learn to play. New system? No problem! I am a patient and passionate teacher. The Game Legend in the Mist puts the narrative first. You control your character's fate and together we weave a story none of us could have imagined on our own. The Setting We are playing the campaign "Wake of the Old Ways." Ravenhome is a quaint, secluded village surrounded by towering mountains. It's land is peaceful, unassuming but steeped in history. As the old ways of magic begin to wane in power, an ancient evil looms large once more. Can local heroes rise to the challenge? *What is a Catch-Up-Session? Joining an ongoing campaign can be tough. To make it easy, you will get a free, 1on1 session during which I will catch you up on the campaign and the party so far. I will also guide you through character creation.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Alchemy VTT We'll be using a virtual tabletop, specifically Alchemy. Of all the programs to play online, Alchemy might well be the easiest to use and the prettiest to look at. Discord You will need a discord account for communication between games.

How Peter Sapperlot creates a safe table
The internet is dark and full of terrors. I wish to carve out a tiny enclave of safety and inclusion for all of you at my table. At the beginning of the first session, we will address expectations and wishes for the campaign. We will also determine topics or tropes players do not want to encounter in their stories, so called Lines (hard boundaries) and Veils (topics that can be implied, but should not be spotlighted). During weekly sessions I will maintain an Open Door Policy. There won’t be any hard feelings or explanations needed, should you ever wish to leave the table – temporarily or permanently. Furthermore, Alchemy offers an X-card feature. Leaving is a measure of last resort. Preferably, players use the X-card to indicate when something in the narrative makes them feel uncomfortable or unsafe. In the middle of every session, there will be short break for everyone to recharge. Before and after every session there will be short check-in, an opportunity for anyone to share how they are holding up – with regards to the game as well as in real life. As a player, I never liked tables where everybody just dashes away after the curtain falls, like a flock of very nervous birds. Sharing, naturally, always remains optional. As part of that aftercare, I will use Stars&Wishes. At the end of each session, players can award a Star to highlight a moment, other player or NPC. I will then encourage everyone to express a Wish, something they would like to see change in future sessions, or an idea they would like to become part of the shared narrative. I strongly believe in trust as the fundamental pillar of any ttrpg game. Without trust creativity can’t flourish, let alone any collaborative storytelling. Therefore, I will always strive to be a patient teacher, an attentive listener and an inclusive, non-judgemental host.
