About the Adventure

You are special. You are an anomaly of nature. You are humanity’s last hope.

In a modern-day New York City, the crime kingpin William Wolfe maintains an iron grip on society, stoking fear and breeding complacency amongst those with weaker wills. Those who stand with him gain power and riches, while those who challenge him face certain death. Staring down the barrel of a full societal collapse, the only city officials who haven’t been turned by Wolfe’s influence have pleaded for the U.S. Government to intervene and provide assistance of the highest classification…

The Anvil – a multi-national organization who’s sole purpose is the facilitation and weaponization of the world’s “Anomalies” – is the only thing that could help put an end to Wolfe’s reign over the streets of NYCprovided the red tape and the bureaucracy doesn’t get in the way

You are gifted. You are cursedYou are what stands between evil and its triumph.

Welcome to the apex of human existence, Anomaly.

=========================================

Hello, everyone! Thank you for your interest in what I have to offer, as there are many Gamemasters out there that do fantastic work – your presence here is humbling, suffice to say.

The FATE Core system is a rules-light experience, allowing you full customization of your character from the ground up. Your characters utilize specific descriptors called “Aspects” in combination with “Fate Points” to drive the game forward and bring about new challenges for yourselves – success and failure are integral to the game’s mechanics!

In order to enjoy your experience at my table, I would ask that you complete a small portion of preparation for the game, if you have not already done so. Please follow the steps below, and let me know if you have any questions! I can be reached either through the RPG Club Discord, or through the Infinity Archives Discord.

Preparation

  • Please ensure that you have a working mic/headset and webcam (optional). Voice is a must, as communication is paramount. If you do not own a mic and still want to play, text is allowed (there is also the Discord App available on any smartphone)
  • Please join the Discord server provided upon registration. Planning and further preparation will unfold there.
  • A choice of pre-built characters will be provided upon joining, or you may create your own! If you’d like to create your own character, we can find a comfortable time before the adventure begins to do so.

Gamemaster Provisions

  • The Gamemaster will provide you with access to all necessary materials within The Infinity Archives on LegendKeeper.com. Please use the hyperlink to access the Archives, and be sure to bookmark them for future use! There will also be a permanent pin in the Archives Discord General chat.
  • The Foundry VTT (Virtual Tabletop) server link will be provided in Discord before play begins! Please ensure you have access to a computer or tablet, as battle grids and visual aids will be used within the VTT.
  • If you enjoy your time at my table, I can offer you membership in my Community Discord server, Tabletop Legends, so you can join in on even more fun!

Who will like this game?

If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to have superpowers and have the world’s problems resting on your shoulders, this is the game for you. FATE is a rules-light system and very easy to understand, making it a formidable addition to the TTRPG landscape.

Who can join?

Anyone and everyone from all walks of life. I respect everyone at my table and am LGBTQIA+ friendly. I do not tolerate disrespect or marginalization towards other genders, sexualities, lifestyles, or federally protected identities. Everyone is welcome here!

=========================================

DISCLAIMER

Please be advised that this adventure will contain mature themes, such as gore and blood, violence, and profanity. 18+ Years old recommended.

Ridiculously Entertaining

November 13, 2024

Zym knows his stuff and gave a master class in running Delta Green wouldn’t even have known it was his first DG game without him saying something. He expertly built tension over the course of the game and made it easy as a player to bounce off of him and create a great story. Thanks again and I hope to play in another of his Campaigns again soon.

I played my first D&D campaign with Zym as the GM, and it won’t be my last. Zym created a world with a mix of engaging story, challenging combat, and memorable NPCs. He balanced structure and freedom well, making sure each decision we made mattered while keeping the sessions fun and exciting. Zym made the experience welcoming and enjoyable for a first-timer, and I look forward to the next adventure he runs.

Been playing in a 5e campaign with zym about 3-4 years now and it’s been a good time. His world building is solid and he’s able to set the scene with music and very detailed descriptions of your surroundings. Would highly recommend for players who love role play.

Zym loves to create worlds with rich lore and moving segments that seem to progress and exist, your inaction has consequences in his world as does your actions.

Is always there to talk to and build upon pcs. I was always able talk through ideas/character changes and even some game questions. He explains it well and if a concept can work in the game setting or not and does not just out right say no that wouldn't work or you just can not be that cause it's lame. If he does say no about it he atleast explains why and gives good and kind responses for it but even then still works in ways that atleast part of it could fit in the game.

I've been lucky enough to have Zym as a DM for multiple campaigns. He was my first DM and showed so much patience and understanding while teaching me how to play 5e. Now that I have more experience, I jump at the chance to join any campaign he is DMing (especially horror-based!) Zym's world-building is phenomenal and he knows exactly how to pull you into a story. His worlds are intricate without being too complicated and his characters all have depth. I would recommend him as a DM to anyone who will listen and will continue to try and follow anything new he does.

I've had the pleasure of participating in several of Zym's games over the years, from Call of Cthulhu to D&D, and I'm excited to soon experience his take on FATE. His storytelling skills consistently keep me on the edge of my seat, always eager for the next session. Zym has a deep understanding of various game rulesets, making each game run smoothly and ever engaging for players.

He also manages his Discord server with a perfect balance of fairness and fun, fostering a community where users are encouraged to interact and connect with one another, and of course, play games!

Give Zym a try. You will not be disappointed!
