How to prepare

Before Session 0 we should: Connect on discord - I am @moreblueberries Download the Wildsea Quickstart (no need to read all of it but good to peruse) - https://www.myth.works/products/the-wildsea-free-rules-kit Think! - This is an easy one. Have a think through: -The kind of story you want to explore -The kind of character you might want to play -Are there genres or tropes you would love to explore? Safety Tools - I will share a form for Lines & Veils ahead of session 0, please fill it out And... Get ready to have fun! Excited to take this journey with you!

What I provide

We will use primarily theater of the mind with some visual aids for big moments. Wildsea is not a tactical game, placing emphasis on story-first mechanics so there is not much need for a VTT. I love to share music during play (listening in is completely optional) and have the full soundtrack of My First Dungeon presents: The Wildsea and tree shanties from the season to share throughout. I am a huge fan of role play and will often speak in character for NPCs (silly voices abound). Players are encouraged to use whatever style of role play suits them, whether in character speech or more third party description. I love to dig into the mechanics of a game but always default to the rule of cool and the rule of player fun. I will endeavor to be an expert on the rules so that you the player don't have to be. At times, I may introduce some twists or interpretations on mechanics, with player buy-in. Ultimately, I place a huge emphasis on collaborative worldbuilding in my games, turning questions over to players to help flesh out the world within and outside the mechanics of the game. I want this to be a version of the Wildsea that you feel as connected to as I do.

Gameplay details

The above content warnings are highly changeable based on players' lines & veils! Safety is a priority at my tables. There will be an x-card at every session as well as an open-door policy where you can express any and all discomfort direct to me or out loud to the table, through the X card or otherwise. Before start of play, everyone will be asked to share their lines & veils. This can be done completely anonymously. I will also do a final check at the first session in case anyone would like to add additional lines & veils. I always love to have a 10-15 min debrief where players can express their stars & wishes for the next session. Safety is an ongoing conversation and lines, veils, and use of the x card can be changed to suit player comfort at any time. There is never a point where you are not allowed to bring a concern to me about your safety.
