Fire and Brimstone

GM

Hi! I'm Nel. Geeked to play something with you.

I think play and stories are some of the most important parts of our experience on this earth, so if you end up at a table I'm running, know I'm really honored and delighted. As a GM (or whatever) I really lean into cooperation, shared storytelling, and roleplay. And I really do get a kick out of supporting how my table-mates want to play, so let's communicate!

As a player, I want to explore themes of friendship, camaraderie, speculative futures, implausible joy, and all kinds conflict through TTRPGs. I'm really familiar/comfortable with a handful DnD systems as well as Powered by the Apocalypse - and I'm dipping my toes into Vampire the Masquerade as well as Lancer. I like to say I'll play anything thrice, so let's try something new and fun!

I'm black and queer and in so many ways divergent from what's considered normative - this shows up BIG in how I like to play and tell stories. I hope you'll bring your full self - including parts to be explored - to our tabletop as well! We can (and should!) use our adventures to center our all too often marginalized experiences - after all, if it's fantasy, we truly have nothing to lose but our chains.

And if you catch me around the shop outside of a TableTop RPG setting, still be sure to holler! I love play at large. Currently craving Splendor, Small World, and Scythe. But like I said, I'm down for whatever! However, I have to warn... outside of co-op/storytelling games, I'm pretty ruthless.

See you at Opal Grove,

Dungeons & Dragons 5th Edition

Summary

Journey to the Science and Technology summit in the progressive and industrializing Fire Nation! An exciting prospect in itself, the possibility for adventures amplifies when a heist on the summit results in the theft of priceless Meteorite Metal from the Fire Nation. Now a mystery is afoot and it's up to the party to get to the bottom of it as tensions (and stakes) rise.

Avatar Roku is old and has largely retreated to his island. Many believe he is out of commission. Some say he is dying, peacefully passing into the spirit realm. Few would imagine it but… He may even already be dead. Though the circumstances of Roku’s actual death are unthinkable to folks living in these times.

Our story takes place somewhere between five years and five days from the death of avatar Roku.

Character Creation

Go crazy, build whatever you like! It will be impossible to pre-empt or alter events that inevitably lead to the death of Roku or Azulon's Air Bender Genocide.

Safety Tools

During session 0, your GM will introduce the concept of lines and veils and set aside time to establish those as a table. X cards will also be present for in-session boundary setting.

Content Warnings

These topics/themes are at least somewhat likely to appear in this campaign. You'll have the opportunity to communicate lines and veils in your registration form. Please let us know if any of these won't work for you in a game!
