About the adventure
Mutiny is a word spoken in only hushed tones, lest a watery grave be yer aim, but the winds change suddenly when on the high seas. A few secret words and a knife in the dark could mean freedom for a crew of pressed sailors... or it could mean marooning on a deserted island with nothing but a single shot to end yer sorry life. Do ye take the risk? The Burning Wheel is a game about beliefs and the ways we suffer and change around them. Come ready for some exciting and emotionally engaged roleplay. Join this beginner friendly mini-adventure where we will learn the base game of The Burning Wheel while attempting to rally the crew to take a chance on a life of freedom and adventure.

How Michael R creates a safe table
Storytelling > Rules Roleplay > Minmax Fun > Winning This game will include an introduction where we will go through the process of character creation and come to a clear agreement on the type of game experience we want to share. Boundaries will be communicated here and will be monitored in game using physical X, N, & O cards. The Burning Wheel is a very player-centric and character driven game. The Mechanics take a "failing forward" approach to achieving goals in game. This can be challenging for players who are used to trying to "win", but ultimately gives weight to the world and very emotionally rewarding stories.
