About the Adventure

Adventure Overview
Welcome to Marvels and Misfits: Chronicles of the Unseen, an immersive superhero campaign set in a world where reality itself is at stake. Your journey begins at Aeon University, a place renowned for its extraordinary students and groundbreaking research, nestled in the verdant forests of North Carolina. What starts as a simple semester at a prestigious institution quickly spirals into something far more mysterious and dangerous. The university is merely the beginning of an adventure that will take you from the streets of New York City to alien dimensions, mystical realms, and beyond.

Unravel secrets hidden beneath the surface, navigate moral complexities, and confront the enigmatic Nexus Aeon Corporation—whose true motives remain shrouded in shadow. As you explore the world, the lines between heroism and something darker will blur, and every decision will have consequences that echo across dimensions. What lies ahead is uncertain, but one thing is clear: the fate of multiple realities depends on the choices you make.

Prepare for high-stakes encounters, mind-bending revelations, and the thrill of interdimensional adventure. This campaign will challenge you not only with epic battles and powerful adversaries but with dilemmas that test your values and convictions. Whether you rise as heroes or embrace a darker path, your legend begins now in Marvels and Misfits: Chronicles of the Unseen.

Are New Players Welcome?
Yes! This adventure is open to new players as well as experienced adventurers. All necessary rules will be taught, and guidance provided.

How to Prepare
The Game Master will guide character creation and provide all the resources needed. You can create your own character or receive assistance to craft a hero that fits into this epic storyline. A working mic is required. We will be using Foundry Virtual Tabletop for the game, and you do not need to purchase any software. Dice can be rolled digitally or you can bring your own.

Character Creation Guidelines
Character creation will be conducted using S5E: Superheroic Roleplaying for 5th Edition, a dynamic system that brings all the action of classic comics and superhero films into the familiar mechanics of 5E. This system is packed with content to create and equip the superhero of your dreams—whether you’re a lone vigilante, a cosmic powerhouse, or a street-smart brawler, S5E has you covered. No purchase of materials is required—all content and materials needed for character creation will be provided.

You have the option to create your own character, starting from Level 1, or receive a pre-generated one. As you create your hero, consider:

  • Background: Are you an aspiring hero seeking to prove yourself, a former vigilante turning over a new leaf, or a student with untapped potential? Perhaps you’re an alien raised on Earth, or a human enhanced with cutting-edge technology.
  • Motivations: What drives you to fight? Is it justice, revenge, the pursuit of power, or something else? Are you compelled by something greater than yourself, or do you follow your own moral code?
  • Powers and Abilities: What abilities define you? Inhuman strength and speed? Control over fire, lightning, or elements beyond comprehension? Are you the world’s greatest martial artist, or do you wield powers that science cannot explain?
  • Allies and Enemies: Who do you trust, and who might betray you? Are there people you need to protect or debts you need to repay?

Materials Provided
The Game Master will provide character sheets, maps, digital handouts, and any other material you need throughout the campaign. Everything you need to dive into the adventure will be made available.

Who is This Game For?
This campaign is perfect for players who love superhero stories, epic quests, and character-driven adventures. It is suited for those who wish to explore the complex nature of heroism, navigate moral challenges, and confront interdimensional threats.

You may like this game if:

  • You crave an epic superhero saga that tests the limits of your powers and ideals.
  • You love the thrill of interdimensional travel, cosmic threats, and the challenges of navigating a complex world.
  • You enjoy character-driven storytelling, where your decisions shape not only your fate but that of multiple worlds.

Gameplay Themes and Content Warnings
This campaign features themes of heroism, moral complexity, interdimensional threats, and powerful organizations with hidden agendas. Content warnings include violence, manipulation, existential themes, and the exploration of moral dilemmas. We will establish boundaries and use safety tools during Session 0 to ensure a comfortable experience for all players.

Commitment This is a long-term campaign designed for weekly sessions, each lasting 3.5-4 hours, where your decisions shape the narrative. Your adventure begins at Aeon University, but soon you’ll find yourself facing challenges far beyond the ordinary. Strap on your mask—your legend is about to unfold.

Key Features

  • High-Stakes Adventure: Engage in battles against formidable foes and navigate challenges that shape the destiny of multiple worlds.
  • Moral Complexity: Explore the line between heroism and anti-heroism. Will you uphold justice, or will your darker instincts take over?

Standout DM

November 13, 2024

DM Jedi Mindauce is a true standout among DM’s. I’ve been playing tabletop RPG’s for over 10 years now, and I can honestly say that he is one of the best DM’s I’ve ever played with. It’s rare to find a DM who can improv, tell a compelling story, build an engaging and immersive world, AND do some killer voices and impressions! He’s also a wizard when it comes to Foundry VTT. His maps are always new and exciting, and he has a wealth of assets and resources loaded into his Foundry VTT, which make rolling and level-ups feel seamless. I cannot recommend him highly enough to players of all backgrounds and experience!

Captivating, fun, chill-- most dope DM ever

November 7, 2024

Mindsaucy is not only an excellent DM at a technical and mechanical level– knowing the rules, making fair rulings, keeping the game moving, and engaging players– but their skills are FAR beyond just the mastery at the art of being a GM. They do excellent world building and story telling– all enhanced with a highly customized, visually engaging and immersive implementation of Foundry. Every session I fall in love with his NPCs, which are all well crafted characters. They work to weave your PC’s background into the story, too. They’re always well prepared and has a variety of different encounters, no matter what pillar of DnD you like best. Also super kind and very patient with a player like me who does not play much 5e and has never used a VTT. Definitely recommend them for a one-shot or whole campaign!

Challenging and Fun

I’ve been playing with the Jedi for several months now and the games are always fun. There’s a decent challenge, but you still get to feel powerful. Great guy and great fun!

I never had a professional D&D experience before DM Jedi Mindsauce. Let me just say that he sets a high bar. He offers great storytelling, atmosphere, characters, voice acting, and an open world approach that gives players a lot of freedom. I have a feeling I'll be gaming with this DM for a long time given the terrific experience he offers!

As a first time DnD player, I had very little knowledge of what to expect along with all the rules/nuances of the game. Jedi Mindsauce has made the whole experience easy to understand and has been tremendously helpful providing guidance and leeway to a player who is just getting his feet wet. I've thoroughly enjoyed my experience and am looking forward to all the other campaigns & one-shots I will play in the future thanks to Jedi Mindsauce's introduction to this universe.

TLDR... COMPLETE PACKAGE - AWESOME! As the title indicates, DJ Jedi Mindsauce has proven to be one of the BEST GMs that I’ve had in my 40+ years of playing Tabletop RPGs! I myself have been a game designer for nearly 30 years so believe me when I say that I have an extremely “high bar”, and Jedi has lived up to my expectations. Between the virtual tabletop that he provides, as well as his host of characters/voices that he's created for his worlds, he has given us one of the most "complete" experiences that I've ever had while gaming. HE CLEARLY LOVES WHAT HE DOES! He bas been a great GM so far and I have no intention of finding another one anytime soon.

--- If you are looking to get into gaming, or just looking for your next adventure, I urge you to read more about my experience with him so far...

My friends and I have been playing with him for close to 6 months now and his well thought out, immersive world(s) never cease to impressed me. I absolutely love his virtual tabletop solution (accessible via any browser so no need to “download X or Y to get started”), along with all of the various maps and other information he has plugged into it. (Players can recall everything they’ve seen during the game so far, maps, images, letters/documentation they find throughout the game, a list of important NPCs you’ve encountered, it’s truly impressive.) As for my group, a few of my friends were new to D&D and Jedi was more than patient with everyone in the group, helped get everyone started, and continues to be a patient teacher as we have been evolving our characters as we level. (He has even responded to private messages between sessions as time permits.) He clearly thinks through what us players “might try” because he always has a great response (always in character), to everything we throw at him. He has given us an incredible amount of freedom to push the narrative where we'd like (as opposed to "sticking to a specific script" like many GMs), yet our story has continued to progress at an even clip. He is more than willing to work with the group and goes out of his way to make everyone in the party feel like the "heroes" that TTRPGs have always given us the platform to be. On top of this, he clearly has a great sense on how to balance combat encounters that cater both to the group's composition (our specific classes) and the number of players. (Even when we have the occasional group member missing here and there.)

The bottom line is that If you give this guy a chance, I guarantee there's a strong likelihood that you will have found your new GM for the foreseeable future. I couldn't be happier that we chose to go with him as our GM, he's absolutely fantastic!
