About the adventure
It's a full millennium after the Hero of Courage ended Ganon's tyrannical occupation of Hyrule. Since then, the land has undergone a radical transformation. The Twili, once cursed to inhabit the Twilight Realm, have not only been liberated but have also become masters of cybermancy, weaving dark code and artificial magic. Moblins, expelled from Hyrule's borders, now inhabit the sprawling undercity of Moblin's Spire, a labyrinthine metropolis of scavenged tech and ragtag industry. The Kokiri and Rito have established high-speed aerotube trade routes, connecting Hyrule to the global network of city-states and corporate enclaves. Lynel clans, augmented with cybernetic enhancements, dominate the northwest's neon-lit sprawl. Amidst this era of unprecedented peace and prosperity under Queen Zelda CIX's wise rule, whispers of discontent have begun to circulate through the shadows. Corruption, inequality, and the unchecked power of megacorps have taken root. Rumors have surfaced of a mysterious, ancient AI, known only as "The Devourer," which has begun to infiltrate Hyrule's networks. Some claim it's a relic of Ganon's dark empire, while others believe it's a harbinger of something far more sinister. As the Queen's latest edicts spark widespread unrest, the fragile balance of power in Hyrule is about to be shattered. In the shadows, a dark presence stirs, its malevolent influence spreading like a stain. The wind carries the whispers of a forgotten name, a name that strikes fear into the hearts of all who hear it: Ganon...

About me
|| ## ENGLISH ## || I love stories! I love to tell them, but I am even more interested in getting to know new ones. RPGs are a great way for people to connect, and share their stories while creating stories together! I mostly enjoy the collaboration aspect of RPGs, especially in our hyper-individualized world. We have the opportunity to hone our creativity, roleplaying, critical thinking, and many other life skills while having a lot of fun, and having fun together! My favorite games are narrative and/or rules-light in which players are encouraged to explore and develop their characters. With my teaching background, I'm experienced in active listening and facilitation, which eases conversations and understanding for everybody in the group. My goal is to build immersive worlds and create unforgettable experiences WITH my players. I run both one-shots and campaigns in many different scenarios from books, movies, TV shows, and anime. I'm excited to create memorable stories with you! Are you ready to dive into a world of our making? 🚨 I ALSO DO CUSTOM-REQUEST GAMES!! 🚨 Check my Games Played section, below.

Amo contá-las, mas estou ainda mais interessado em descobrir novas histórias. Os RPGs são uma ótima maneira para as pessoas se conectarem e compartilharem suas histórias enquanto criam histórias juntas!

Creating your character
🛠️ To Build Your Runner Character creation in Otherscape is deeply collaborative. Because this is a sandbox game, characters will have pre-existing ties to the city and each other. When & Where: You can bring a character concept that excites you, or join us without. We will brainstorm and adjust characters collaboratively, finalizing sheets and connections together during our Session 0. Sheets will be created and managed on Foundry VTT. The "Stats" (Themes & Tags): Forget traditional stats (like Strength or Dexterity) and levels! In Otherscape, your character is defined by 4 Starting Themes. You will choose how to balance your character between Mythos (ancient magical artifacts, lineage, and ancestral spirits) and Noise/Gear (cyberpunk cyberware, street training, and corporate tech). Starting Power: You aren't bumbling rookies. You start as competent, street-level professionals—the equivalent of a standard starting character in the Otherscape core rules—ready to make a name for themselves. Required Books: You only need the Otherscape Core Rulebook (or the Metro:Otherscape player rules). The Cyberpunk-Zelda Twist: Want to play a heavily chromed sheika street samurai? A Twili netrunner weaving dark code? A Rito drone pilot working the aerotubes? It’s all fair game. We will work together to skin the game's core themes into your perfect Zelda-inspired archetype.
What to expect

What Grillo Guy brings to the table
I bring a teaching background, homebrew elements, diverse and rich character development, NPCs, and stories to interact with high-immersion storytelling. I really value games that allow for creative collaboration and negotiation, so I encourage and facilitate these elements at my gaming sessions.
