Mechanics:
This RPG adventure is designed to be played using a traditional pen and paper role-playing game system. The Game Master (GM) will guide the players through the adventure, describing the environment, characters, and events. The players will control their own characters, each with unique abilities and attributes that they will use to overcome challenges and obstacles.

For this adventure, we recommend using a high-fantasy system such as Dungeons & Dragons or Pathfinder, with some modifications to fit the theme and setting of The Metal Opera album by Avantasia.
