"Once upon a time, the creatures that humans know in this day and age as simple bed-time stories for their children, roamed freely in the Homelands - living lives that closely resembled to the ones that mortals tell amongst themselves. We all had our happily ever afters. Then, the Adversary came; descending upon us with his infernal armies, he brought ruin to our fair kingdoms. No magic or sword could match the monsters the Adversary commanded. With our back's against the wall, we were forced to leave our homelands, and migrate into this strange world - this modern world, where we are all nothing but superstition. I suppose there are worse places to be rather than New York. Now, we must hide amongst the mortals, and make ourselves a new home here. And although we may be safe from the claws of the Adversary, we are not entirely safe from ourselves, or from the dangers of this world."

The Book of Fables campaign uses the comic book series "Fables" and the video game "The Wolf Among Us" as its core setting; every player character has the opportunity to play a fairytale character in exile in modern world New York. While we may use the comics and the video game for our standing ground, the campaign is yours - and yours alone; that means we won't be using the stories from the source, but instead we will be writing our own versions of them. With the exception of a few, every Fable is free game if you wish to breathe your own life into their story as they must find their new version of happily ever after in this "once upon a time". We will be using D&D 5E as our base game system, and the exact details of how we will go about the campaign will be discussed as a group during Session 0. If you are interested in this setting or fairytales in general, this game will have everything you're looking for!

ABOUT ME

Hello everyone! I'm a Professional GM starting a game using the comic book setting "Fables" - or if you are more familiar with its Telltale Game counterpart, "the Wolf Among Us" setting for our campaign. I intend for the game to have a mix of neo-noir, gothic punk themes with the whacky, fun part of D&D. We won't be taking everything from the comics or the books; this will be our story, our take on fairytale characters in modern day New York. I have Tuesdays and Wednesdays free for anyone that may be interested playing. The price is 20$ per player, per session via StartPlaying - Session 0 is free and the first session is half-price. Here's a link to my StartPlaying page if you'd like to check it out. If you'd like to know more about the campaign or the setting, please feel free to reach out to me from here.

Looking forward to hearing from you!
