MD 300 Session Zero - Rise of the Vat Spawn (actual play)

Welcome to session zero of our season 3 actual play Rise of the Vat Spawn where fantasy and hip hop culture are smashed together to create an epic urban adventure.

Here we'll discuss what to expect for the season, including format, tone, safety tools, and we'll utilize Mad Dungeon words as we have in our previous seasons.

We'll create and introduce the characters (Tiger Wizard, Dragon Warrior, Warlock Roc and Bat Alchemist) using the Mystic Punks RPG system.

Steve gave the team his inspirational Appendix N: Nimona, Arcane, Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Legend of Korra, She-Ra and The Princesses of Power, Masters of the Universe, Final Fantasy 7, Studio Ghibli, Fist of the North Star, Ill Bill “War is My Destiny” Video, Wild Style, Style Wars (1983 documentary), Altered Carbon, and Hype Williams videos.

Hope you all enjoy this improvised story that we'll create together.
