About the adventure
The dead aren't the problem anymore. Not really. Its 2030 and its been a few years since the worst of it. The zombie plague never truly ended. It just... thinned out. Enough that people stopped running and started building. Small communities have taken root across the rural Midwest, carving out something that almost resembles a future. You are part of one of those communities. A new settlement, still finding its feet, in a region that already has opinions about who belongs and who gets to make the rules. To the west, Millhaven is the closest thing to a real town left in the county: organized, well-supplied, and run by a man who has decided that order is worth any price. To the east, New Eden grows more food than anyone and gives it away freely, held together by faith and a stubborn refusal to become something harder. And to the north, The Depot has fuel, reach, and a businessman named Victor Crane who keeps talking about cooperation and mutual benefit with a smile that never quite reaches his eyes. Seeds of Tomorrow is a hopeful, politics-driven campaign about what it actually takes to rebuild civilization. The compromises, the alliances, the moments where doing the right thing and doing the smart thing aren't the same thing. Combat happens, but it's rarely the point. The point is the world you're making, and who you're willing to become to make it. If you want a game about hard choices, morally complicated neighbors, and the slow, unglamorous work of building something worth protecting, pull up a chair.

About me
I got into TTRPGs as a late teenager and what hooked me almost immediately was the idea that a group of people could sit down and build a story that nobody had planned out entirely. The first games I played were on the more traditional side, closer to a board game than anything else, but I got curious, kept learning, and the roleplay side of things took over pretty fast. Outside of gaming I am pretty much a professional computer creature. Anime, YouTube, the occasional western TV show... if it's watchable I've probably binged it or at least tried. Audio books are a big part of my life too, mostly fantasy and especially urban fantasy. If there's a story mixing the modern world with magic and monsters I'm probably already a fan of it. Urban fantasy is my corner of the genre map and that bleeds into the games I love most. World of Darkness is a big one for me, though these days I'm more drawn to the lore than the game itself. On the system side my favorite is Cortex Prime, with FUDGE and Fate close behind. I tend to stay away from d20 systems and class based games, they're just not really my thing, though I do have a soft spot for anything Powered by the Apocalypse. I'm autistic and have ADHD, and I think that's worth mentioning because it shapes how I engage with pretty much everything, gaming included. I hyperfocus hard on the things I love, which means when I'm into a game or a setting I am really into it. It also means I go pretty deep on whatever has grabbed my attention lately, whether that's a new game system, a show, or some corner of fiction I just discovered.

How Woden creates a safe table
