Zephyr: The Free Winds | Fabula Ultima 🍃 [3 Hours]

About the adventure

╔═.🍃. ════════════════╗ Breathe in... Let the zephyr flow over and through you. Do you feel it? The freedom it inspires?.. Breathe out and cherish it. As all of it may come to end. ╚════════════════.🌏. ═╝ 🪁 The rise of affordable windsurfers, modifiable for all-terrain travel, has sparked a new age of trade and piracy. The world is opening up to swathes of people, many with great ambitions who will stop at nothing to achieve them… 🌀 The gods have gone silent, violent ancient steam-powered constructs surge in activity, magical chaos storms wade across the land, and strange meteors rain from above. Danger is across every hill. 🛠️ This is just the foundation of the world you'll explore. The rest will be collaboratively expanded by you and everyone else at the table during our Session 0. Your characters can then be deeply connected to the setting. 🎭 There is no pre-planned story. I'll be utilising what we have made to introduce situations you'll face and overcome. During play, you will earn creative control to further add to these situations. 🕹️ Fabula Ultima is an award-winning TTRPG that generates vibes of the popular JRPG video game genre, including titles like: Final Fantasy, Chrono Trigger, Octopath Traveller, and Dragon Quest. ╔═.🍃. ════════════════╗ Will you let the wind take you or will you be the storm that changes the course of this world? ╚════════════════.🌏. ═╝

Additional Details

How to prepare

• Discord account to talk and text. • Free Forge account to play from a web browser: https://forge-vtt.com/ • Clear microphone with either a quiet background or at least push-to-talk. • Encouraged to use a Webcam but it isn't needed. If you do, follow standard video call etiquette. I normally use an animated character to visualise myself instead of a camera. • After joining the game, view the Prep Materials and follow any other instructions. • After joining my discord server, read and click on the 📕 to agree to my community code of conduct otherwise you cannot join the game. • Optionally, you can download the Quick Start or buy the book if you want to familiarise yourself with the rules prior, however, we will learn the rules through play as well. https://preview.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/411240/fabula-ultima-ttjrpg-press-start

How will character creation work

• During Session 0 we'll establish our safety tools and introduce each other. We will then continue creating the world together, adding new nations, threats, and mysteries we want to interact with. • We will then create Level 5 characters, using the standard rules, and discuss our Group Theme: how did we come together and what drives us? All of this will help us decide the initial and future motivations for adventure. • Anyone that joins later or needs a new character, will create a character at the party's current level. Before the next game session, I will have a private discussion with you that substitutes the Session 0 you missed. If you join just before the next session and I don't have enough time to talk to you, you'll skip and join the session after.

Players can expect

• Find a game to join solo or search for a professional game master for you and your friends/coworkers/family.
• Book your session and wait for the Game Master to approve you.
• If you don't have a blast with your first game, your next game is on us.
