About the adventure
You will go on adventures to build a complex dock system that will serve as a neighborhood for yourself and your friends. In the meantime, you'll build relationships, trade for supplies, overcome obstacles, and learn how to be your best and most powerful selves while building the kind of place you want to live. This campaign takes place in the Tidal Blades setting for Cypher. This vast and beautiful coastal world is full of humanoid fish, crocs, and turtles and a few actual humans who live in relative peace with eachother. However, there are dangerous critters in these waters and monsters trapped in a time warp in the sea. Can you protect yourselves and your idyllic way of life?

About me
I run playful games with occasional tactical combat, lots of roleplay, and meaningful consequences. We make stories together and it's a blast. Come for the shenanigans, stay for the friends. I'm a former high school literature/writing teacher and get a kick out of teaching new games to new friends. I'm also a community theater performer and costumer who loves a touch of character in my characters. Come play with me!

Creating your character
We'll spend session zero learning about the world of Tidal Blades and giving you character options so we can build a team that's ready to jump into adventure together from the start. Tidal Blades is a Cypher System game (Cypher 1) and we'll be running it on Cypher 2, so there will be a few adjustments to make everything jive, but I will walk you through all of that!
What to expect
Preparing for the session
I will send you a discord link when the game goes active. We'll go over all your character options in session zero, so all you will need is a d20 dice and a d6 dice, a camera/mic that works, and a healthy dose of imagination!
What Lizz brings to the table
I use character voices and encourage roleplaying with lots of prompts and opportunities. Your characters are the main characters - we love to let them shine!
