About the adventure
Important!: In person, will be run at my house in Olympia WA, address will be provided once you join the discord. A chill slow game where we all have the grace to learn the system and make mistakes. Not recommended to players familiar with the system as we will be fully focused on learning the ropes and I won't be able to put as much focus on keeping a good pace and empowering the narrative aspect.

About me
Hi! I have been gamemastering professionally for two years under the YMCA and want to start striking out on my own. I have a background in game design and creative writing which I pursued in college. I have run multiple long term campaigns to completion, creating my own settings and stories across multiple systems.

Creating your character
We will have a session 0 where we will create our characters. While I encourage you to learn how to do it yourself, ill have read up on the process and will help if needed.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Join a discord ill set up to facilitate group comunication.
What Isak brings to the table
Ill have some music set up for mood. Since the aim is to learn the base rules we will stick to rules as written. Running a premade module is not my strong suit but I have found it the most helpful when first learning a system. While I always try to give the characters and world life, when I'm first learning a new system and running a premade module I have to dedicate a good chunk of my brain to recalling information so I can't go all out with my performance. This will not be a cinematic, spectacular experience, it will probably be quite dry as the group will be focusing more so on learning the game than making the most of the ride.

How Isak creates a safe table
We will be using the x card, the module is not too unhinged so most folks should be fine but check out the content warnings just in case.
