How to prepare

All players will need to have access to a webcam and a microphone in order to play the game. An account with Roll20 and a Discord profile should be obtained beforehand in order to be let into the planning space for the game as soon as possible. In addition to this, players should take time to read through the rules and system reference document that will be provided through the server the game will be hosted on. Finally, while it is okay to come to Session 0 with ideas for what you want your character to be, all character creation will be finalized during Session 0 to ensure no one is denied the opportunity to voice a preference for a playbook.

What I provide

For all of my games, I offer direct access to the main core books for the system I am running to ensure people do not need to worry about financial access to the materials. I provide links to a Roll20 for access to a digital dice roller and playbook organization whenever possible in the event folks do not have physical dice. I will also always provide a system reference document that organizes all core info for a system in a streamlined fashion to ensure folks have an accessible reference during gameplay. As far as personal style, I lean heavily into emotionally cathartic and bittersweet heartache when it comes to my games. My NPCs frequently speak to a range of queer and trans experiences that come from my own life as a queer and trans woman of color. I love to act out different character personalities and voices whenever I can manage it, but I do not expect my players to do the same. Come with a sense of fun, flirtation, and a willingness to let game rules fall by the wayside when they don't serve a narrative beat. Even if this is your first time playing a TTRPG, lean into the mess and find joy pushing beyond your comfort zone! A solid scaffold of safety tools give us the space to push our creative edges together.

Gameplay details

My policy for running any game is to always run a Session 0 for all my tables, taking time to go over the ins and outs of any sensitive areas that need clarity. As part of enabling that clarity, I will be sending everyone a link to a personal Discord where all of the game resources will be shared. This includes a pdf for the RPG Consent checklist and a link to a Lines/Veils sheet I will be adding to and players can choose to contribute to as well. My goal with safety is simple: I would rather jettison any planned plot points and go overboard on talking through topics than risk the safety of my players. Being a good GM entails being responsible with not only my players' fun but also their well-being. I take safety very seriously and whenever possible will enable my players' agency to shape the story in a safe, enjoyable way.

How will character creation work

Once the entire table is confirmed, all players will have access to a Discord server in which they will have text channels, and join the Session 0 to discuss their initial interest in Skins/playbooks. For players both new and old, the basic process of creating a character will be explained in detail. Players will be able to choose their playbooks from the core book and supplemental options, pick the stat array they wish to use, select moves, and decide their connections to the other players. All characters will be at a basic starting level, with the option to use a Roll20 for selecting choices for available skins on the platform.
