Oakenbend Mysteries: A Teatime Adventures Campaign

Teatime Adventures | Campaign

About the adventure

Even in the idyllic world of the Verdant Isles, things go wrong and mysteries must be solved. Who sabotaged the pie contest? Where did all these moths come from? You'll be solving these cozy mysteries and many more as the animal-inspired folk of Oakenbend. If you want a gentle, cozy game full of acceptance and understanding, Teatime Adventures is the game system for you. Sometimes you want to save the world, and sometimes you want to people watch while drinking a large cup of tea at a quaint local coffee shop.

Playing with Tristan Ash has a measurable effect on my mood tracker. I've decided to play some cozy cames with him and I come out better for it every session. The atmosphere is fun and lighthearted, the players are involved and cool stoy bits can develop nicely. Storytelling comes before the game mechanics and I don't feel like I need to worry about not using the character's abilities to their best potential as a new player. This was the first time I've played a single player adventure and it was lots of fun and not awkward, like I worried about beforehand.

A silly little oneshot, high fun. Great mood.

Allows and encourages player ideas and creativity, allowing even for game breaking ideas, whenever it doesn’t break fun for others. Perfect GM for one shots meant to include a lot in a short time.

Tristan is a really sweet person. Very patient, considerate GM. Hoping we get to play sometime in the future—thank you for being so welcoming and kind!

Tristan is an excellent GM! I thoroughly enjoyed my time gaming with him. He provides a comfortable, safe, relaxed, and overall fun environment. The way he describes the settings, plays out interactions/reactions in games, and builds the world with his players feels both wondrous and organic.

Additional details

How to prepare

Join me on my Discord server, where I'll post all the relevant rules and we can talk about the game. https://discord.gg/ztfnceuVbt

What I provide

I have the rules and will share the important ones on the Discord, but if you have the Teatime Adventures core rulebook, too, great! Story and role playing are more important to me than rules. I will do my best to do character voices for NPCs, but some of my accents are truly atrocious.

Gameplay details

This first thing we will do in Session 0 is go over how to use the safety tools. I will also be posting everyone's lines and veils in a channel in the Discord server (because I know I forget things if I don't write them down).

How will character creation work

I encourage talking about character ideas beforehand, but if you come into Session 0 without any ideas, that's ok, too. After we talk about the safety tools in Session 0, we'll finalize details about the player characters.
