About the adventure
This is a sandbox style game taking place in Poland behind the now rusted Iron Curtain. There's safety in numbers and you might not fully trust everyone you are now working with; NATO or Soviet soldiers, drafted doctors turned into battlefield medics, defectors, Polish civilians. You and luck make the story as you struggle to survive and carve a new future for yourselves. There will be a full session 0 discussion regarding the kinds of stories you want to tell, but to ensure you have some idea of the kind of story I would like to tell, expect a gritty struggle for basic resources that may at times force you to make difficult decisions. Settlements may be friendly or hostile and the same is true for military remnants. You won't know who to trust, but you should be able to rely on each other to get you through, even if your opinions on how to go about it may differ. This is a game of cruel luck and tough choices.

About me
I'm GM Nick and I have a great love for TTRPGs. I am well versed in many game systems and love trying new ones out in addition to playing games in the systems I love the most; PF2e, Delta Green, Twilight: 2000, and Legend in the Mist. I've been Gamemastering since 2000 and serving as a professional GM on this platform since 2020. Let me take you through a well fleshed out world governed by both rules and lore I have studied and honed to a fine polish. I voice all NPCs, provide game art, complex maps, and ambient music, and pride myself in providing a complete gaming experience.

Creating your character
We will run through the lifepath system during session 0 or over voice chat with the GM.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You should all have the players manual but it's not a hard requirement. Ensure your computer can comfortably run foundry VTT and discord voice chat.
What Nick brings to the table
I will bring the world of Poland after the WW3 that never happened. Expect character voices, ambient music, tactical combat, and get ready to think your way through every situation. Combat can be deadly in this game and there's no healing potions to get you back into combat, even if an unlucky headshot didn't kill your character instantly. The world will evolve around you and your choices will help shape it, even if your are but small minnows in a vast ocean at first.

How Nick creates a safe table
Every player will be asked to fill out a form detailing what story elements you want, and can't have, in the game. Session 0 will give us a chance to settle on a tone for the game and the X card is always available to stop the game if you need a breather or so I can get off whatever landmine I've stepped on to ensure everyone can play safely and have fun. We will have a discussion at the end of each session to give us a chance to check in and talk about that happened during the game. The content warning below are what I am comfortable including in the game. But any of us can veto and elements inclusion with our consent forms.
