About the adventure
The world has changed. Parahumans battle aliens and monsters and diabolical villains, while the greatest beings who've ever walked the Earth shepherd humanity towards a glorious future. In the meantime the rank-and-file of the population continues with the daily struggles of building a better life for them and their loved ones. For many, the 'promised land' of human destiny is a fable of tomorrow, and tomorrow never comes, always just out of reach. Individuals who don't quite measure up to the expectations of the Directive ply their trade and apply their gifts to mundane tasks. And for some, the glorious future is simply one where they have whatever they want. In the alternative future of Vancouver, you are one of the many who has decided a life of crime is actually a world of opportunity. Here you can push your limits and find a place for yourself in a world where gods walk among you and they simply don't care about you as an individual. This is a personalized play-by-post game using the HERO System 5th edition rules. While it's designed for a single player others are welcome to join and pursue their own goals.

About me
Greetings from the northern wilds! I'm a "forever DM" but not in a bad way. I love DMing, because why limit yourself to one character when you can be all of them (less the PCs)?! DMing is my outlet for imagination and creativity. I don't draw, I'm not musical in any way, but what I am is a storyteller. Since childhood my head has been overflowing with ideas that had no outlet until I discovered D&D. I love to homebrew and I love constructing epic, sprawling campaigns that evolve and grow with the players' contributions. I'm a published author and have been a freelance writer for D&D back in 3rd Edition days. I'm looking to run D&D games, but I've run many other systems. Favourites include Aberrant, HERO System, All Flesh Must Be Eaten, Chronicles of Darkness (I particularly enjoy Beast: The Primordial!), Rifts (Savage Worlds and the original Palladium system), but my greatest love is for Hackmaster 5th Edition. So I'm also interested in creating "Learn to..." campaigns with different systems. I would love to give new players and seasoned D&D players a chance to explore new systems and see what else is out there in the vast galaxy of games. I've been playing RPGs since 1983, and DMing since 1984. But: Years of experience mean nothing if you can't adapt, adjust, and innovate to make your game the best experience for everyone at the table. My two tennets of gaming are: "Games are meant to be fun" and "Don't be afraid to get weird". Let's roll some dice.

Creating your character
Character creation is handled through collaboration with the GM prior to the start of the game The use of the 5th Edition Character Creation software is permitted.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
As a play-by-post game all that's required is a Discord account as this is handled almost exclusively through there. A Roll20 account is helpful as well to have a place for dice rolling but there are also dice rolling bots on Discord if that's preferred.
What Jared S brings to the table
I provide a detailed setting and a collaborative approach to storytelling and world building. This is a highly personalized gaming experience tailored to the individual players' interests.
Homebrew rules
The flexibility of 5th Edition HERO System allows for a great deal of customization. Given the power level of the player characters I'm willing to allow common gear to be purchased with the Wealth perk rather than through the expenditure of character points.
