About the adventure
If you go down in the woods today, You'd better not go alone. It's lovely down in the woods today, But it's safer to stay at home. Join our team of Vagabonds wandering the Woodlands searching for wealth, power, and prestige, taking advantage of the great war tearing the woodlands apart. Join (or reject) the many factions vying for control while keeping in mind your own number one mantra: Chaos is a Ladder. π¦ Woodland Critters π³ Beautiful Forests πΊIncredible Riches π Eternal Glory (or infamy!) π Vibe Check This is a new game, so players will have the opportunity to create the vibe. The game has a general "cute woodland critters playing Game of Thrones" vibe. Join at the beginning of the game to help design the settings and feel of the game and team! About the Game: This Powered by the Apocalypse game takes players deep into the Woodlands, based on the board game "Root: A Game of Woodland Might and Right." Characters are Vagabonds wandering the woodlands, contending with various factions as they take advantage of the chaos to reshape the war and the Woodlands themselves. I provide everything needed besides a working microphone and Discord. Players will be asked to fill out a survey of lines, veils, and consent preferences before the campaign. Let's have a great time exploring the woods together! The Experience: π³οΈβππ³οΈββ§οΈ A safe space to be the hero you want, judgment-free π§βπ€ Multidimensional NPCs π Theater of the Mind π» Dynamic scoring Art courtesy Magpie Games and used in line with Magpie Games Art Pack Guidelines.

Gameplay details
While the game features cute woodland critters, the themes of this game are quite adult, including warfare and speciesisms and all that those major themes entail. Session 0 will be spent going over expectations, lines, and veils. We also always have a few minutes at the end of the session to discuss the session and any necessary aftercare. Players should expect an R or MA-level adventure.

How will character creation work
Players will receive a list of playbooks and may make a few preliminary decisions prior to Session 0. Root: The RPG is designed as a highly cooperative game, and our Session 0 will define the team and how the team came together. Those who join at the beginning of the adventure will finalize their characters together at Session 0, along with aspects of the adventure, such as how the party comes together.
