About the adventure
It’s midday when you reach the final plateau crossing. The expedition’s scholars ride in wagons pulled by chulls, their carapace-covered legs clicking with every slow but steady step. The expedition’s bridge crew carries an even heavier burden. Every time you reach the edge of a plateau, the crew heaves the bridge forward and pushes it across the chasm. As the bridgemen struggle with the heavy wooden bridge, a scout announces, “We’re nearly to the ruins!” It’s time to cross one more chasm, one that plunges into darkness far below you. This is a beginner-friendly game where you'll learn how to play the Cosmere RPG and be ready to start a Stormlight Archives campaign! 🏳️🌈LGBTQ+ friendly discord server and GM 🆕 Beginner-friendly

About me
Hello, prospective adventurer! You've come to the right place to find a facilitator for your role-playing journey! ME AND MY STYLE: i've been running games since the 90's, and have been a game designer since 2010. I tend towards light-hearted games with heavy role-play, and fights that are meaningful. I run a lot of Powered by the Apocalypse systems, such as Thirsty Sword Lesbians, Brindlewood Bay, and my own game, Threadbare. I also run Fate, Gumshoe, and Dramasystem. Some bona-fides: I wrote Threadbare RPG, several adventures including Ennie-winner Can't Sleep Clowns Will Eat Me, co-authored Mx Universe (a non-binary/trans fashion pageant LARP game) and 20 years worth of technical documentation. I am very good introducing new players to the hobby in general, using one of the many many many game systems that are lighter mechanically and more accessible to new folks. I no longer run Dungeons & Dragons; it was my first RPG, but my style doesn't mesh with it very well, and there are hundreds of great DMs out there who specialize in D&D. In particular, if you're a woman or non-binary person (NB of all stripes) or a group thereof who are looking for a great introduction to role playing games with a non-threatening, supportive female GM, please get in touch! I love introducing new players to the hobby, and have a great track record for inclusive, beginner-friendly games. IN-PERSON GAMES? In addition to running games online, I'm located in Las Vegas, Nevada. I am available for in-person groups and one-shots, if all players are fully vaccinated for covid-19. I'm willing to do bachelor/bachelorette parties in person if all players are fully vaccinated. For everyone's safety, I will bring a non-participating partner with me to any in-person parties at hotel rooms and any bachelor parties regardless of venue. CUSTOM TIME SLOTS: If you're looking for a custom time slot, you can find my full availability on Calendly: https://calendly.com/mortaine/30min (note that this is my consulting page, not my pro-GM page; please book your game via StartPlayingGames; this link is just for transparency on availability.) ACCESSIBILITY: You can request accommodation for your disabilities! Here are just some of the possible options available: * 📃 PDF character sheet provided in advance * 👂 Closed captions enabled (using Zoom instead of discord in this case) * 🔤 Text-only game (available for custom games and times) * 🎲 Online or offline dice rolling * 🦺 Safety tools for mental health safety * 🕐 Shorter sessions (2-3 hours). Can build in breaks as requested. * 📹 Video on or off-- you decide
