About the adventure
Treasure hunting is a business reserved for the desperate and the stupid. You are the first, time will tell if you are the second. In Trophy Gold, you will delve into terrifying dungeons in search of treasure, hoping to keep ahead of your financial burdens. You will be forced to push your luck to get enough of a payday to do this and will be tempted to exceed it - for if you manage to save enough gold, you can achieve something with your life. The system itself is very simple and abstracts dungeons. If you are not familiar with it, I will gladly teach you how it works.

About me
I have lived in 4 different countries throughout my life and like bringing this mixture of cultures and languages into my games. I enjoy blending different kinds of stories in my games. I get excited when players bring their own backgrounds and cultural experiences to the table, especially if I am unfamiliar with them. I got started running games at the age of 9 and tried a multitude of systems over the years. I love learning by challenging myself with a new kind of game or a new set of rules so I can bring forward clever lessons and mechanics into future play.

Creating your character
We will randomize characters at the beginning of the session using the tables in Trophy Gold. We will use a spreadsheet-based character keeper hosted on Google Docs to keep track of them.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please make sure you have a Discord account. You will be given an invite link. If you are new in the server, a few minutes will be required to give you all the relevant permissions. Additionally, we will be using dddice for rolling dice which requires an account as well. I will be giving out codes for a digital dice set that has the required light and dark six-sided dice before the game. You always have the option to roll physical dice instead if you wish.

How Tomasz | SnowChickenLord creates a safe table
At the beginning of the game, before character creation, we will go through a list of lines and veils with the option of adding elements to it if needed. During the game, you can always call for the interruption of whatever is currently happening using an agreed upon phrase. Personally, I enjoy "Let's Not". At the end of the session, we will take time to talk about the game, how it went, how we are feeling, etc.
