I'm Jared. I have been in the creative arts my whole life. I've written plays, musicals, played in lots of bands, love video games, and traveled the world. I write a lot of homebrew and custom board games as well. I've always had a vivid/creative imagination. RPGs allow me that creative release to be someone else and cause mischief without consequence. I do enjoy a good laugh. I love characters with quirks and flaws. I'm not afraid to die in a game if the moment is ripe for the scene. One day I will find my very own free-to-play Matt Mercer. lol

They each promise that no matter where life took them, they'd reunite in 7 years to unearth the time capsule they buried as children in honor of their elder folk hero. When the time comes, the ground in which they buried the time capsule is now frozen under the foundations of a building run by a nefarious Ifriti who plots to rule the city by means of a blood sickness. With riots and mobs forming against the government due to famine, our heroes dive into the aqueducts below to finish what they started out of honor their hero, before the city falls to complete corruption and endless winter.
DM: The Last Bastion: Souls of the Citadel The civilized world has ended. Monsters now swarm the wastelands that were once our homeworld. Only one city remains, protected by a force field powered by souls. To be someone; to live in the lap of luxury, is to become a "harvester" of souls, which is the only way to make a name for yourself and your tribe. Gyms, dojos, cults, guilds, covens, harems and houses of worship rise and fall constantly with the latest trends promising revelations of the truth. "Sponsors" in this predatory gladiator industry promise "young bloods" a better life. However, hacks and frauds lose precious real estate as the cream rises to the top. But any harvester who survives knows that being a celebrity champion is a farce of the ego. Harvesters know the gauntlet's deepest secret that none would ever be so bold to utter to the uninitiated: somewhere out there in that hellscape of the old world is the forbidden "Ladybomb", and once you hear her voice beckon you, all you can ever think about after getting out of the gauntlet... is going back in.

Picking up the dry cleaning? Fetching Groceries? Who are we to question the gods? Maybe we should've picked death instead.
