## Who Am I?

I’m Aviv, you may have heard me before on our main On the Shoulders of Dwarves show, as I’m the technical producer of the website and sometimes guest host.

I've been gaming for about 15 years and for the past decade have been working in media production: internet videos, livestream, podcasts, and of course - tabletop games.

## What Are We Playing?

Wonders! Heroes of Tomorrow, an adaptation and Hebrew translation of Magpie Games' amazing Masks: a New Generation, with some new systems design to allow your group to create cool and interesting urban environments for your heroes.

In the world of Wonders, people with superpowers were not known to the general public until 10 years ago, after the War of Might exposed them.

## Our Heroes

* **Oron**, the Nova (Telekinesis and Telepathy)

* **Amraphel**, the Janus (Supernatural Senses, Impossible Mobility)

* **The Flying Fist**, the Beacon (Martial Arts, Acrobatics)

* **Seabreeze**, the Outsider (Stunning Beauty, Radical Shapeshifting)

## The Big Picture

Our campaign takes place in southern Israel. During the War of Might, an interdimensional fissure erupted near our city, spawning weird creatures. After the war, the area became an international demilitarised zone and a prison facility, The Bore, was built around it.

In the present day, our team of heroes has rescued a high profile Wonder from an abduction attempt, leading them to discover this was not an isolated case.

## The Next Session

There are two story threads we've been following:

1. An underground superpowered fight club, being held weekly a dance club called Titania. The team visited the place and Amraphel got introduced to the club managers, Rave and Oberon.

2. A mysterious archaeological artefact called the Tablet of Anat, which a young woman named Hexen was searching for in the very building housing the Titania.

That's our show for today. On the next episode, we'll catch up on what happened with the group in our gaming session and we'll discuss how to proceed.

In the meantime, you can catch me on twitter [@icel](https://twitter.com/Icel), check out more about my games on the [Vanor – Games to Amaze](https://fb.com/Vanor.GamesToAmaze/) page, and can join our the [On the Shoulder of Dwarves](https://fb.com/groups/dwarfpodcast/) community group.
