About the adventure
Stella Steeps is a cozy fantasy life-sim campaign built around community, exploration, and deciding what kind of life you want to create. Magic and technology coexist throughout the region, allowing for everything from enchanted farms and potion shops to strange inventions, dangerous ruins, and monsters beyond the safety of town. Players can earn Stacks by farming, crafting, cooking, brewing, making deliveries, hunting monsters, gathering resources, or accepting custom jobs from the people of Stella Steeps. What you do with that income is up to you. Improve and furnish your home, invest in your work, explore the surrounding wilderness, or simply spend time becoming part of the community. The townsfolk are intended to be more than quest dispensers. Shopkeepers, neighbours, workers, adventurers, and other residents have their own personalities and relationships with the party. You can build friendships, perform favours, give gifts, develop rivalries, and potentially pursue romance. Relationships grow through continued interaction rather than existing only as background flavour. Stella Steeps uses a custom homebrew system designed specifically for this campaign. The rules are intentionally simple and use a single d6 for most actions. Characters are built around six FIELDS: Finesse, Industry, Empathy, Lore, Drive, and Sense. These cover everything from fishing and crafting to social interaction, spellcasting, combat, and exploration. Despite being homebrew, the game is not being improvised mechanically from session to session. I have built a working coded character sheet and game system directly into Roll20, including automated resources, relationships, crafting, cooking, fishing, weapons, spells, inventory, recovery, and reroll mechanics. The system is currently in beta, meaning balance and smaller rules may continue to evolve as the campaign is played, but the core mechanics are already functional and ready for play. The goal is a game where fighting monsters can matter, but so can growing a good crop, brewing something valuable, helping a neighbour, improving your home, or simply becoming someone the people of Stella Steeps are happy to see walking into town.

About me
Greetings, fellow adventurers! I am Kiefer Seeley, a seasoned Game Master, talented voice actor, and devout follower of Christ. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance! From an early age, I was fortunate to be encouraged to unleash my imagination and nurture my creativity through play. Whether engaging in epic battles against invisible monsters or embracing the thrill of superhuman speed, these childhood adventures laid the foundation for my profound passion for the realm of fantasy. Through the guidance of my faith, this passion has led me to my current role as a Super-Hero! I have the privilege of hosting parties as various heroes or mascots, such as Batman, Spiderman, a minion, a pup from Paw Patrol, and many more! During my free time, you can often find me immersed in games like Civilization 6, Frostpunk, and Overwatch, or preparing for exhilarating Dungeons and Dragons campaigns as either a player or a game master. Beyond my love for the fantastical, I am also a devoted lover of animals. With extensive experience in raising pets and delving into their nature and behaviors, I have developed a profound understanding of our furry companions. Currently, I am the proud owner of two cats who regularly bless our family with adorable kittens before finding them suitable forever homes. Alongside my affinity for animals, I have a natural affinity for children as well. Being the eldest of five siblings and actively volunteering in various kids ministries, I have honed my patience and forged meaningful relationships with individuals of all ages. I am eager and excited to embark on this adventure together with all of you. Let us delve into the vast realms of imagination and create unforgettable stories and experiences that will leave us inspired and enthralled. May our journey be filled with joy, camaraderie, and the endless wonders that await us!

Safety
How Kiefer creates a safe table
This is intended to be a calm, peaceful game. Please refrain from any form of cussing (accidents happen, and my Discord channel is a little more liberal, but for this game, lets keep it pg.) Zero sexual scenes. Sex will be treated as "fade to black" moments. Flirtation between NPCs is expected, but refrain from explicit dialogue or role-play. Please read table rules. Respect for one another is a core principle at Zen Zed's Table. This game will have a lighter tone, and little explicit or graphic content is expected, but please be sure to address any of your own lines/veils during session 0, or with me directly if you are joining late.
