The Story

Five friends have gathered together to play the first session of their role-playing campaign, using the well known Brave Adventurers and PHantastical Legends system. However... the players had not yet completed their character creation process, and you would have to help them finish.

Once you help the players select their skills and their character's objectives, it was time to find the DM. It turns out that the DM had kind of procrastinated too. They plunged you right into the final battle against a fearful radiation golem! What will happen to our heroes?
