Proficiencies
Players say this GM is great at:
Storytelling
Teacher
Inclusive
From day one Critical Misses (Anita Wiebe) was welcoming and friendly, their knowledge of the game,not just the rule system but the feel is outstanding and their ability to create a compelling story each week which allows each player to Shine is amazing. Personally I leave each game with a smile, who can ask for more.
the sessions with Anita as my gm have been excellent. I was new to the system we were playing, but with her help I really picked up the rules fast. During play I found the stories of the sessions engaging. Anita's games gave a spotlight to each player equally, while allowing creative solutions. I look forward to sessions.
Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will be built using the Kids on Bikes Playbook available here https://www.huntersentertainment.com/_files/ugd/85013f_28569403238f47f0861a67ecac549df8.pdf - Characters will be chosen during session zero and the town will be built out as well as the mystery that surrounds it.
Every other Sunday at 6PM Central time starting March 2
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need a microphone and a quiet place to stream - cameras completely optional. Kids on Bikes requires a full set of polyhedral dice (minus the d%).
What Critical Misses (Anita Wiebe) brings to the table
I have copies of the books and the character tropes for players to use. We use rule of cool at our tables and encourage wild and wacky ideas! My games are always LGBT+ friendly and will never include any phobias or isms.
Platforms used
Safety
How Critical Misses (Anita Wiebe) creates a safe table
Players can expect roleplay, mystery, fun romps and involvement in world building! I will be sending a link to a Lines and Veils survey and during our session zero we will review it as a group to go over acceptable and unacceptable content as well as what we would like to see in game. During play we will use a variant of the X N O safety system that will be handled over chat or addressed during play. Post-session we will do Stars and Wishes to go over what we liked and what we would like to see in future sessions.
