About the adventure
Become a sly fox in the shadows, take to the skies as a fearless bird, or wield sword and board as a fearsome cat. In Root, you play woodland creatures on an epic quest for justice and freedom. Journey between feudal settlements, discovering hidden secrets and forging unexpected alliances along the way. As vagabonds, rogues, anarchists, and outcasts, your destiny is in your paws, feathers, and/or scales. Will you be the hero the forest needs, or will you carve your own path to a new kind of freedom? ------ This will be a classic sandbox ROOT game. Travel with your fellow vagabonds, do deeds and/or crimes, and support various factions as you go. The woodlands are in your capable paws!

Creating your character
Characters will be made together during the first session, in order to establish relationships and setting. If a player joins after the first session, we can brainstorm a character ahead of time, then go over it all together in the next session.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have a Discord and Role VTT account. Make sure to have a working mic and headset! Cameras are optional (but encouraged). Otherwise just an open mind and a good heart is required!
