About the adventure

As a freshly formed crew, you'll be making a name for yourselves in the Doskvol underworld, pulling heists and making bank in the most fun and illegal ways possible. Exciting and over the top, we'll be leaning into the 60s aesthetic and the episodic structure of the game. This is the first season of your show, every session a fresh episode, so let's make it something any network would want to run with long enough to syndicate.

About me

As a professional author with over 15 years of experience, I know a thing or two about putting together a fun world to explore and play in, no matter the game. I do tend to prefer DnD, but any game with the potential for imaginative hijinks is going to end up on my bookshelf. I've run a number of campaigns, several of my own design and a couple of pre-written ones as well, and in each one the most fun I have is dealing with those moments when players go off-script. If you're looking for fresh, exciting games tailored to your party -- hit me up. I'll help you build it from the ground up if you like, along with a bit of an authorial flourish to bring it to life for you and your group. By the end of the campaign, you'll have a world you've made a real impact in, regardless of whether you took the expected path or not.

Character creation

Creating your character

We'll make the characters and the crew together in session 0 (which will be free), so you'll want to come prepared with a few ideas. If you've got access to the rules you can read ahead, but if not don't worry - session 0 will also involve going over how to play and what to expect in general!

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You'll need a Roll20 account and a Discord account. We'll be using Roll20 for the maps and the dice, and Discord for voice/video. This means you'll need to have Discord installed and downloaded, and a working microphone. A webcam isn't required at all, but feel free to use one if you want.

What Steve K brings to the table

I'll be bringing all the rulebooks, maps, tokens and atmospheric stuff like ambient music to maximise the experience of being a sneaky 60s ragamuffin.

Safety

How Steve K creates a safe table

- Rules and dice rolls are to enhance the fun, not constrain it; expect the dice to take a back seat to fun roleplaying. - Session 0 is for introductions, rolling characters, and defining limits. - X, N, O cards can be messaged in private to the DM and will be acted upon with complete anonymity. - Basically: be nice, have fun, don't try and ruin anyone else's fun.
