Welcome to the world of Ad Nauseum! The GM team hope that you will enjoy exploring the Sanctuary, and welcome you to submit a character creation sheet by if you want to jump in. Please feel free to shoot any questions to Ad Nauseum GM team
Ad Nauseum is game about a city called the Sanctuary. The Sanctuary is a city for mages, including yourself. It is a safe refuge for everyone to practice magic or just try and live a normal life, away from the judging eyes of the non-magical world outside. There are variations of magic skills in this world, but there is one fundamental rule: equivalent exchange. If you wish to gain something, you must sacrifice something of equal value. The paths that mages walk in this world often represent their view on how much they are willing to sacrifice.
Ad Nauseum aims to give the player a world to explore this idea, alongside many others. You start at the Archmage's banquet, where there will inevitably be disputes between citizen of the Sanctuary, and it will be up to you to decide how to proceed. Will you try to fan the flames, douse the fire, or chase that pretty butterfly outside?
We aim to provide something for every player in Ad Nauseum, be that political intrigue, exploration, combat, diplomacy, investigation and more. We hope Ad Nauseum has something to keep you occupied.
Ad Nauseum will take place in 3 parts:
