Event: One-Shot Role Playing Game

Platform: Invisible Sun

Title: We Begin at the End

Description: Invisible Sun is a roleplaying game of surreal fantasy, secrets, and magic.  This is a game designed primarily for deeply character-driven campaign play, but we will be playing a stand-alone adventure, We Begin at the End, optimized for new players and GMs. We Begin at the End was a Kickstarter-exclusive adventure and ran at Gen Con 2018.

The player characters are vislae—wielders of magical power—recently returned to their true home: the Actuality, a world that seems like a surreal dream to those of us toiling aimlessly in the boring, grey realm you and I falsely believe is the real world. These characters face incredible challenges, visit breathtaking places, and discover secrets so astonishing that the only ones who can cope with them are those who understand the truth that powers the universe: Magic.

Do you think you live in the real world?

You don't.

This world you see around you is Shadow—a world illuminated only by the Grey Sun. There are, in fact, eight suns--each one illuminates a different realm along the Path of Suns. You think Shadow is your home, but that’s because you have forgotten your true self. Awaken, and return to the Actuality and Satyrine, the city under the Indigo Sun! You are a vislae, a wielder of fabulous powers and capabilities, a shaper of reality itself. You sought shelter in Shadow to escape the war, but the war is now over and your home has called you back.

The clock resets. The moth crawls back into its cocoon. But the renewal promised by the Gold Sun is not always welcome. Sometimes things should just end. Can you stop the rebirth of the Illustrated Messiah who just wants to remain dead?
