    About the adventure

    You and your friends used to think that life in your village was quiet and dull, but then you found yourselves and your homes in the path of a necromancer's army that's bringing down the boundaries between your forest homes and the worlds of dreams and the long-forgotten dead. Play the young adults of your sleepy forest town as they try to keep their homes safe and discover why the dead and the creatures of dreams are intruding into your quiet world. Combining gothic themes with quest-driven high fantasy, each session of The Village in the Wood will take place on Google Meet and use shared tools to collaboratively build the world and take on quests to protect the town and hold back the dark forces that threaten your families and homes.

    Additional Details

    How to prepare

    Players just need a webcam and mic and a physical or digital die roller to play. We'll teach the rules during play, so you won't need to prepare for your first session.

    What I provide

    We'll use an online character keeper and standard polyhedral dice. Feel free to roll your own at home or use your favorite online roller. We'll also use shared drawing tools for making the village and its environs.

    Gameplay details

    Each session with new players starts with a mini-session 0 workshop to go over the customized Safety & Consent checklist and any Lines & Veils. We'll also use the X Card during play.
