About the adventure
You will need to create multiple characters for this mid-length campaign as death is in every corner. You get to play as criminals, vigilantes, and villains who have been forced to join a secret government task force called Task Force Ex. You will be sent to do missions, no hero would sign up to do. To embrace the dangers, all fights will be at severe or extreme difficulty. That being said, we are not trying to be genocidal, murderhobo, psychopathic maniacs. We are playing as villains thus violence, greed, and absurdity is abundant, but we should be making interesting choices in difficult situations. If we just kill every NPC that appears, what is the story? I believe combat should be unique! Most combats I run have an alternative combat objective, so while some might focus on the fighting, others can focus on trash-talking enemies, saving lives, destroying the environment, or causing strategic chaos! I will say my favorite part of the game is role-playing and storytelling, so the more you put into the character, the more I have to work with. I also love improvised roleplay so happy to explore character moments with players. I also know roleplaying all at the same time could be difficult online, so I like to have roleplaying moments where I move the spotlight around with prompts to each player. I often ask things such as "What are each of you doing for the rest of the night?" or "What do each of you do while X is happening?" But most important of all is safety and respect. New players, POC, LGBTQIA+, all members are welcome. We are here to have a good time so for safety I will be sending out a Safety and Consent Checklists survey. I also do anonymous surveys every so often to make sure I am delivering the best game possible for everyone! As for scheduling, I like to play 3 weeks and have 1 week off. We can discuss schedules with the group!

About me
My name is Joong Won Pyo (Joong - June like the month, Won - like Won a game, Pyo - The letter P and Yo man)! I have mainly been an in-person professional GM in LA but also GM'ed in South Korea and in the army! I hope to bring my various backgrounds in writing, acting, serving in the military, business school, being multilingual, and overall chipper personality to being the best GM for you! Frankly, I am better at adapting to my players' stories than writing my own, so I want many of my campaigns to be based on what the players want rather than what I write. So if any players have any stories they want to explore, that fuels my creativity! But most important of all is safety and respect. New players, POC, LGBTQIA+, etc, all members are welcome. We are here to have a good time so safety tools will be incorporate. I also do anonymous surveys every so often to make sure I am delivering the best game possible for everyone! Happy Gaming!

Creating your character
Death will be very frequent given the combat difficulty. I would recommend thinking of a few characters and preparing 2-3. Free Archetype and Automatic Bonus Progression variant rules! If you have a character backstory in mind that fits this modern setting, let me know! That way, we can collaborate and see how I can write hooks for your character. Characters will start at Level 10 New players can schedule a time to create characters together with me or it can be done together during Session 0. Experienced players can just send me their character sheets ahead of time for approval with a brief explanation of how they created their characters. Please list everything. (Spells, feats, equipment, any variant rules, etc). I am usually okay with uncommon or rare traits, but the only ones I say "no" to are the ones that can read minds or see the future. Please also send me images of your character ahead of time so I can make them into tokens.

Safety
How Joong Won Pyo creates a safe table
When you book your spot, I will be sending out a Google Forms Safety & Consent Checklist to you. We can always discuss items that were not mentioned in the sheet as well :) During Session 0, we will go over the settings, tone of the game, expectations, safety tools, results from the safety checklist, and party composition. I also do anonymous surveys every so often to make sure I am delivering the best game possible for everyone!
