About the adventure

Suit up for a fast-paced adventure through the Marvel Multiverse, helmed by the Sorcerer Supreme himself! Each player will take the role of a Marvel superhero, either of their own design or an iconic character straight from the pages of the comics! Strange's mystical tarot cards will define each hero's opportunities and roles in the conflict ahead, and I will dynamically design chapters around each hero and their drawn role. But the task before you is anything but straightforward, and you'll have to keep your eye out for your time to shine if you are to be properly prepared for the final encounter... Summoned to Doctor Strange's side, you are tasked with the preservation of reality's foundation against an encroaching threat from a dark corner of existence itself. Step forth from the familiar streets of New York and take flight into the unknown!

About me

Welcome to the Adventure Theater! I'm Li (also known as Liam or Lian), and I enjoy few things as much as I enjoy helping a player bring their characters to life, whether that means fleshing out backstories, integrating them into the world via original NPCs or locations, or throwing wrenches in their plans like a devious little monkey who wants nothing more than to see them cry. It's all good fun! And the stories I've had the honor of witnessing have been truly awe-inspiring and humbling. Join me on these crazy adventures, and we'll find your place in our shared fantasies!

Character creation

Creating your character

There are two main options as far as determining what character you'll play in this adventure - making your own original character, or selecting a pre-generated hero. I do not have any personal preference between the two options, and will treat both options equally - if you say you've said the world once or thrice, who am I to argue when the alternatives have saved the world countless times? (As a note, I use "hero" loosely - perhaps the Green Goblin is making an effort to reform himself, or Doctor Doom has somehow been brought forward as a Defender by the cards despite clearly nefarious intentions? The possibilities are endless.) You will be making your characters using Demiplane's character creator, which will guide you through step-by-step until you have a completed character. You can make any character between Ranks 4 and 5. If you'd like to play a character that is outside of that range by default, we can work on a version that fits within the range. After that, send me a shareable link to the sheet for approval and we'll be done and sorted.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

You will need to have an account on Demiplane in order to make your character. Also when joining the campaign, you will be prompted to join my community Discord server: this will be where we meet and play.

What Li brings to the table

I provide access to the Marvel Multiverse Core Rulebook and other available materials on Demiplane and elsewhere.I perform to the best of my ability through in-depth narration and character voices. I also make plenty of quality puns, as my players will happily attest (they call me attest of their patience). While I generally stick to rules as written, I often find occasions where they don't account for the full breadth of the scenario and will adapt. I consider my GMing to be performance, but a lot of my focus is on making sure everyone's relaxed and comfortable during play. This means a lot of attention paid to Lines and Veils and other safety precautions, and adjusting for any discomfort that might occur. Overall, one should expect a performative experience in a relaxed atmosphere.

Safety

How Li creates a safe table

At all times, my players' safety and comfort is the highest priority - if you aren't comfortable, you aren't having fun. During the Session 0, we will discuss Lines and Veils and other safety measures, handled both interpersonally and with assistance from Owlbear Rodeo. If at any point a player has a problem, they are welcome to bring it up to be resolved at the table, or brought to me privately.
