About the adventure
Your world is a thriving mix of marvellous steampunk technology: monorails, airships, and more. These devices get their power from a crystal mined from deep within the earth, and it is getting harder to find more. Your adventure begins when a great Artificer by the name of Oz... No, he doesn't live at the end of a yellow brick road, he lives in a giant goldfish in the sky! Now, where was I... he asks for brave adventurers to find a new power source for your world. This is an open world adventure, and everyone's ideas will shape the future of the world. The path you take is genuinely open to you, which may seem daunting, but there is no wrong way forward. It's an evolving story that will incorporate as many of your ideas as I can. Things to Expect: ⚔️ Combat with monsters, competing Artificers, and more. They will be formidable, intelligent foes. 💬 Plenty of opportunities for conversation and roleplay. 🌐 Open exploration.

About me
Hey there, my name is Jean-Paul and I'm known as Japes (jay-ps). I'll be your Game Master and the person responsible for bringing the games together. Fair warning: I'm dyslexic and have a dry sense of humour. Both rule KO here… The shared experience of these fantasy worlds is like a simmering cauldron: We put our ideas in, give it a gentle stir, and enjoy the fun. I love seeing your creativity, where your imagination takes flight… just don't be like Icarus! My games are a safe, creative space, and all I ask is that we're courteous to each other. It doesn't matter if you're playing a 1920s female FBI agent, a piece of Sapient Pearwood, or a Fairy Barbarian who growls at enemies... play them like you mean it! Come and join us at the table. I can't wait to see how your ideas work out.

How Japes creates a safe table
⚖️ Lines and Veils will be requested before the game and given in Session 0. 🏳️🌈 I'm committed to making my games inclusive for everyone in the game. 🍩 5–10 minute break halfway through the session, for drinks and snacks. Should you join after the initial Session 0, we'll have a similar 1-to-1 session before you embark on the adventure.
