What I provide

I will bring the rule system and adventure module. Theatre of the mind will be employed with a few visual/audio aids to liven the mood. Can expect LOTS of gameplay and interaction with the adventure, opportunities to roleplay with NPCS and affect the story, and a rules light system that favors rulings over rules. I will send everyone the available drafts of the Knave 2e rules pdf, which is only a dozen and a half pages in its entirety.

Gameplay details

Fast paced gameplay aimed at quickly creating characters and hopping into the action! Aim is to generate characters at the beginning of the session, using Knave 2e's speedy and amusing system to do so, then exposition dump the party right into the Waking of Willowby Hall adventure!

How will character creation work

Players will create characters at the beginning of the session since it is so quick and then boosted up to level 3. Simple sheet of paper will do or can download a premade character sheet to fill out. This module and session has little to no continuity to adhere to unless players really enjoy their characters and wish to proceed with a larger adventure later on.
