About the adventure
Ah good. You're here. Close the door. Rafael Cruz. Remember that name. He has his hands on top secret intelligence that could bring the British Isles to their knees. Right now, he's relaxing at a luxury spa resort on the shores of Puerto Rico. Tomorrow, so are you. You're going deep undercover. New names, new identities, new smiles for the cameras. Your mission is to find the intel, secure it, and get out alive, without anyone realising who you really are. Cruz is no fool. His bodyguards are sharp, his cameras are everywhere, and the waiter bringing you gin and tonic? On his payroll. Keep your cover at all times. We're not letting you go empty-handed. Each operative is being given each high-tech cypher gadgets: blinding flashes, smoke screens, remote triggers for electronics. Use them to create a distraction, slip past a guard, or bluff your way out of a very awkward situation. A supply cache is hidden on the island in case things turn ugly. You don't have a licence to kill until someone tries to kill you first. After that, all bets are off. What to expect: 📔 Heavy roleplay: talking your way in, keeping your cover, reading the room. 🔫 Tense, cinematic, thrilling combat when (or if) things go wrong. 🕵️ Fully voiced NPCs, custom music by yours truly, and a story built around your characters And agents? Try not to enjoy yourselves too much. It's the taxpayers' money, after all.

About me
Have you found yourself saying one of these things lately about TTRPGs? 🤵 "I've always wanted to try tabletop role-playing games." 🤵 "I'm having fun but I'm looking for something next-level!" 🤵 "Looking to jump back into it, not quite sure which campaign to go for." Look no further. Hello! 👋 I'm Adam Hayes. I'm the professional DM you've been looking for. As a talented actor, and musician - I bring your characters to life through music and voices to fully immerse you into the game. That's just the tip of the iceberg though - I specialize in interweaving your characters goals, motivations and wishes into the game, creating a custom narrative where you are in control of your own destiny. Needless to say, it will cater to your own interests. I bring my varied background in story-telling mediums to the table, giving you deep character development, tense and difficult moments, and most of all a friendly and engaging atmosphere where we can all relax and forget about our worries for a few hours per week. The cherry on top is that I have a beginner friendly and inclusive style, where I help you get up to scratch with the rules in an adaptable pace so you feel like you would fit right in. I also bring a little something new for veterans to - weaving twists and new turns to challenge the ways of old and keep you on your toes. Interested? Book a session today. It's your game, your way.

Creating your character
🚨 Characters to be either made before or on the first session, which will be a session zero. Connections to each other will also be settled at session zero. All references below are to the new Cypher system book. Characters are to be made on FoundryVTT. 🕵️ All operatives start at Tier 1. 🕵️ The Genre is Real World > Espionage. 🕵️ All operatives will be given Cyphers in the form of high tech gadget weaponry. These perform powerful effects that will let you seize an opportunity. Some examples are; blind an individual, activate an electric device (to cause a distraction), smoke screen. 🕵️ All spies will be given a cover story, that you may either make yourself (which will be your character sheet), use a pre-made copy by me.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Character sheets will be given on FoundryVTT, hosted through forge. When you join the game, you will receive a discord link you will need to join, then create an account on The Forge, then I will help set you up with a character sheet.

Safety
How Adam Hayes creates a safe table
We will have a Deck of Player Safety session for players to anonymously tell each other what we are and aren't comfortable with. We will have a session zero, so the first session you have we will also go over ground rules, do our deck of player safety and go over connections. My DMs are always open. If there is content that I think may be harmful or triggering, in the first instance if it matches what we know isn't okay we will skip it, or I will warn people and give people a chance to message me or speak out if they aren't okay with it and we will skip it - no questions asked.
