The King, The Realm, and The End | Mythic Bastionland Campaign

Creating your character

Character Creation will be done during session 0. An important part of Mythic Bastionland is the massive random table of possible knights that you can play as. You will be rolling to see which knight you play as, not choosing.

Preparing for the session

Make sure to make an account for Discord and Owlbear Rodeo, you don't need to pay for either.

What Brian Espinosa brings to the table

As a GM there are a few things I consider important to running a quality game. 1. Playing to find out what happens. I never plan out the player's solutions to the problems characters face. The fun of these games is creating a story together, and I want to give you all that freedom to help decide where the story goes. 2. Vibes. I do my very best to match the vibe of the group. This helps set the tone of my games. I've run everything from serious games where almost all conversation is in character, to games in which everyone is laughing every 10 minutes. 3. The Rule of Cool. These games are all about creative problem solving. I always embrace creative player ideas and find a fair way to make them work because I know how great that feels as a player. Swing from chandeliers, cast a spell in a weird way, and try your best to convince the villain of whatever you like. Let’s worry more about telling a good story than following the rules.

Homebrew rules

The main homebrew rule that we will be using is the Mork Borg Pslams System. Basically, at the end of each session we will roll to see if enough time has passed that an event which portents the end of the world takes place. Once enough of these portents have been rolled, the world ends. I'm hoping that each portent will cause wide shifts in the world, helping it feel more alive and putting the pressure on the PCs to save their people. I prefer this system to a strict session or in fiction timer because it allows for flexability without being annoying to track.

How Brian Espinosa creates a safe table

I like to use Stars and Wishes for easy and clear player feedback. I also encourage players to send me their Lines and Veils so that we can keep people feeling comfortable and safe. Finally, if a player ever does feel uncomfortable with what's happening, please feel free to send me an X and we will resolve the uncomfortable situation.
