About the adventure
The empire put down the rebellion 5 years ago. As time goes by, legitimate jobs are harder and harder to come by and pay less and less. Most of the former freedom fighters turned to adventuring for a quick buck. Though it may not be strictly legal most of the time. But who cares about the empires laws, right? Your party is called before a local crime lord, who offers you an interesting job: Get on a train and steal a large crate of Imperial cargo.

About me
Compared to many, I'm pretty new to TTRPG, but I am in love. I love helping new players get a grasp on the rules. I love when a more experienced player sees an angle on the story that I didn't consider. The game and the story are living breathing things that everyone (including the dice) have a hand in writing, and that is beautiful. I'd love to tell a story with you sometime!
