Your Adventure, Your Way.

Every great story starts with a spark — an idea that sets the stage for the journey ahead. To make sure your adventure is tailored to what excites you most, we’ll walk through three simple steps:

  1. Pick a Genre – Choose the flavor of story you’d like to tell. Think of this as the “broad world” your adventure lives in: fantasy, sci-fi, mystery, horror, and more.

  2. Choose a Campaign Frame – Narrow it down to a starting premise — the “movie poster” of your story. Are you treasure hunters? Starship smugglers? Haunted investigators? This is the jumping-off point.

  3. Set the Tone & Themes – Decide the vibe of the game. Do you want it epic and heroic, gritty and grounded, lighthearted and silly, or suspenseful and mysterious? This helps shape how the story feels.

Don’t be afraid to mix and match across steps! You could play a Haunted Wild West mystery, a Fantasy Heist with comedic misfits, or a Cyberpunk Survival against the odds.

Step 1:

Tone and Themes

Now that you have a genre and campaign frame, let’s set the vibe.
Do you want your story to be serious, lighthearted, gritty, heroic, spooky, or something in between?

Think of this as setting the “mood lighting” for your adventure.

  • Larger-than-life heroes, grand stakes, legendary deeds. (Think: Lord of the Rings, Star Wars)

  • Survival, hard choices, and moral gray areas. (Think: The Witcher, The Expanse)

  • Heavy themes, ominous settings, tragic overtones. (Think: Batman, Dracula)

  • Slow-burn intrigue, hidden secrets, and twists. (Think: Sherlock Holmes, X-Files)

  • Fast-paced, action-packed, with big personalities and daring stunts. (Think: Indiana Jones, Flash Gordon, Mission Impossible")
