About the adventure
It started slowly at first: rumors of those adventurers and nobles who had ever been raised from the dead had begun to feel ill. Victims began to show signs of thinning, growing weaker with every passing hour as if slowly backsliding into the death they once denied. It wasn't until the first who finally succumbed to their maladies showed a horrifying second symptom: those who found death a second time could not be raised again. Now, panic has begun to spread rapidly through the world's kingdoms. Many are at a loss to explain this event, but scholars agree that it has to be the result of some foul curse... Many have stepped forward to investigate the curse, as a new lead indicates it may be sourced in the dark jungles of Chult; a place of old magics, ancient civilizations, and long-lost creatures...

About me
I didn't find tabletop RPGs until later in life, I knew about them and was always intrigued - I just never had the access. But I always enjoyed telling stories, and my imagination would always run rampant - something likely attributed to my mental health. I was diagnosed early on with generalized anxiety and depression, which only further limited my access to tables and the enjoyment of the game. Decades later into my late thirties, after going through college for mental health and addictions and challenging some of my fears and misconceptions (most expensive therapy ever!), YouTube channels like Acquisitions Incorporated, C-Team, and Dimension 20 inspired me. I found a local game that fit my schedule and immediately fell in love with the medium, and after a few years I took my turn as a host and that love boiled over into a passion. I started hosting online for friends using Roll20, but my constant pursuit for increased visuals, operation, and overall production brought me to FoundryVTT. I love that I can combine my focus on research and narrative development with the stunning automation provided by the platform, and my players always seem delighted (or terrified) by the scenes I've put forward. Similarly, I've always found my delight in developing rich stories with those players, coordinating events and backstories to give them a voice in the world and build it into their playground. I have never had to shout "I'm not crying, you're crying" so many times.

How 8BitRonin creates a safe table
The content for this game is mature. There will be no overt sexual content (fade to black) or sexual violence, there will be violence, blood, and a fair amount of non-gratuitous foul language. As long as you have the urge to play? You're more than welcome. Anything I can accommodate, I am 100% willing to discuss and implement. I want to ensure that you have a comfortable and fulfilling experience - let's make it happen: - Session 0: Discord allows us to start planning as soon as you enter the chat! But there will be a formal session 0 for introductions, character creation, and table rules. This will be a free session, and depending on time, we usually sneak in some roleplay fun! - Lines and Veils: Please provide me with your lines and veils so I can tune the adventure. Similarly, I will set those as table rules. - Debriefing: I like to leave 10 minutes at the end of each session to discuss the adventure. This is optional and can be done via voice or Discord. - Breaks: Feel free to let us know you'll be AFK if you need to grab a drink or use the washroom! There will be a break at the 1.5(ish) mark of every session. If your goal is to be disruptive, disrespectful, or otherwise damaging to the experience of others, you will be asked to leave. This is a game of collaboration and meant for enjoyment - I aim to preserve that.
