About the adventure
In the Golden Age of Man, the skies were clean, the earth bore fruit, and men were ruled by themselves. Then, the Ending War came, and brought this golden age to an end. Mankind has clawed its way back to civilization since then... of a sort. A primitive world built on the bones of the old, ruled by a council of powerful wizards whose mastery of science and sorcery gives them power beyond mere mortals. Power to rule over their 'lessers' like gods. You are one of the lucky few to have found freedom. Can you bring it to the rest of your people? Or is the world doomed to the tyranny of the Council forevermore?

About me
Mostly GMing for the last 30 years, I've had more ideas than I could ever get to the table. Hopefully, this will be a chance to get a few of them out of my head! I tend towards story-focused games that incorporate player input and plot threads, ranging from comedic tones to horrific ones. A student of myth, history, and true crime, I try to layer in some of the complexities that show up more in reality than in most published games - the forces of good and evil trend more towards the gray spaces in between, even the worst villains may have the best of motivations, and people are shaped by their pasts as much as their place in the story. I find it's a mindset that helps give a bit more depth to the world, and makes things feel a little more epic when done right.
