About the adventure
Come along and learn how to play City of Mist. Just bring your curiosity, I'll tell you all you need along the way. In City of Mist, mythology is real. Ancient legends are incarnated in everyday people. You play as the personification of tales of old - a Greek god (Morpheus) for example - or an object of legend (Excalibur). Your mythos grants you supernatural powers. Powers you will dearly need to protect your city. City of Mist is a character-driven and narrative-focused game. Each character is presented as unique collections of tag-words (e.g. "Rugged"; "A good shot"; or "Premonitions") and you can get infinitely creative about how to combine them. In this introductory adventure you’ll get to: ✨ investigate a string of murder cases; ✨ practice the basic rules of Legend in the Mist; ✨ jump right into the action, learn while playing.

How Peter Sapperlot creates a safe table
I strive to create a welcoming space for people of all identities. With one exception: People who want to act out their fantasies of racism or sexism are not welcome. My fantasy worlds don't need systemic discrimination. The real world has enough of that as it is. Content: This short adventure will be family friendly with only minor elements of fantasy violence. Safety tools: I maintain an Open Door Policy. There won’t be any hard feelings or explanations needed, should you need to step away from the table – temporarily or permanently. There will also be a digital X-card feature. The at the start of the session we will address boundaries (lines&veils).
