About the adventure
"Those geese are up to something," the farmer muttered, staring darkly across his field at the flock gathering by the waters edge. And they are. YOU are, actually. You're the geese. Welcome to the H.O.N.K. system. In the H.O.N.K. system, you and your party-mates assume the roles of the foulest, most conniving, and devious creatures in all of creation: Geese. Your party (the "Gaggle") must work together to bring about pure khaos all around you and thwart people at every turn with a mixture of individual Goose abilities, creative problem-solving and teamwork, and superior role-play. Learn to play this hilarious and super simple system and come have a honking good time with a gaggle of great friends.

About me
What's up, Nerds? It's me, The One-Shot Wizard, Tabletop Roleplaying James (TTRPJ)! With over 25 years of Game Mastering under my belt, I've delved into the depths of every published edition of D&D since 3rd edition. My games are rooted in a meticulously crafted homebrew world, a diverse tapestry almost two decades in the making. This "kitchen-sink" setting ensures flexibility, enabling players and fellow DMs to integrate characters, stories, and elements from any realm or setting, ensuring a unique experience each session. My most recent endeavor? A year-long, Westmarches-style series of one-shots designed to take a party to level 20 over the course of 2025. Dive into a universe where every narrative, old or new, can find its niche. Join me for an adventure like no other!

How James Bratten creates a safe table
The aim of the game is to be goofy, but not offensive. We'll discuss everyone's lines, that way we can make sure we waddle up to them, but do not cross.
