About the adventure
Warsaw, Poland, 1922 Everybody needs someone to watch their back, and that's what you do, kind of. Some would consider you a gang, some a neighborhood watch. The truth is buried in the muck, somewhere in between. Police tolerate you, as long as you don't push things too far and maintain some semblance of peace and fairness around. They don't even bother you about the squat you took in the old post office building too much. Probably because it still bears damaged from artillery shelling and they have way bigger problems. You still need to fully prove yourself and carve a niche in the city, as a newly formed crew. Poor and stuck between the cracks of a struggling city. It won't be easy, but precious few have it good nowadays in a freshly rebuilding country. So you deal with whatever comes your way, criminal underworld, legitimate authorities, and forgotten demons alike. Hold on to your hats, mates, it might get interesting. Look around the setting few years later https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjps5GHWEgE In case of any questions, or suggestions please feel free to contact me here, or on Discord: dridenwornegon

About me
My own Platinum Rule for RPGs is simple offer and assume respect, as well as good will. We all want to experience something breaking out of the mundane, at least for a bit. Entertain and be entertained by weaving a story together, play the game together. My main enjoyment comes from others being engrossed in the session, or at least having fun with it. Allowing myself a little honesty, RPGs are a huge part of my life, took me from being an extremely shy kid to someone who can easily give lectures to a full auditorium. As silly, as that sounds, feeling like I truly pilot spaceships, confront gods, stalk dark alleys of great cities, protect the multiverse from villainy, and more throughout my life. I want more people to enjoy this hobby, so I never took money for running games before, sometimes putting more time and effort into them than normal work. But as life goes on, duties grow and times get harder. I want to see if maybe I can integrate my adult life and passion better. Sneak a bit more of the hobby into the day.

Creating your character
We will go over character creation during Session 0. It is working on a slightly simplified in some respects version of FATE.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Willing spirit and an open mind should suffice. Half of the players already know me and we talked about the game quite a bit, so most likely not making a full on session 0, where I usualy finalize things. But just sitting with everyone personaly to help with the character.
What Driden brings to the table
Sometimes the most exotic places are the once not that far away. I always had a bit of facination in how vibrant and turbulent my city was in the interwar period. And so I'm offering a look around it, through monster of a week type of lense. Where place itself with its culture and peculiarities is its own character. But not stripped of moment to moment gameplay riding on intrigue, dangers and mystery.
Homebrew rules
It is somewhat modified Fate system to fit the theme. No worries if you don't know it, as It can be explained in 10 minutes, but still offers wide, meaningful possibilities. I will be going over things in practice for those that know the system, but to main elements are a custom Skill List and Modifiers instead of Scene Aspects.

How Driden creates a safe table
A lot is possible throughout the campaign. It depicts a time full of hope, but also a tremendous amount of hardship, forcing people into dire situations not all deal well with. And that's not even counting the supernatural. It doesn't mean we will just constantly delve into dark and depraved, far from it, but things like this are likely to appear sooner or later.
