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. 🦊 Woodland Critters 🌳 Beautiful Forests 🏺Incredible Riches 👑 Eternal Glory (or infamy!) 😎 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!

About me

I've been playing various forms of role-playing games formally for more than 2 decades, including online, written, table top and more, and informally, I've been playing and performing roles all my life. I love creating and sharing stories, all the more so when the players truly become part of the world by surprising me with their choices. Professionally, I have a background in history and am a recently-recovering educator, and I bring both to the gaming table by helping players learn the game and developing the massive living world of Ætheon where all of my campaigns and stories are directly interconnected with players having a direct impact on the world (and potentially, other campaigns).

Character creation

Creating your character

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.

The current party

Join us as we start out on our adventure! Being part of the game right from the beginning gives you a great deal of say in the team, goals, and ideas that you may wish to feature in the game.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Players should join the Discord as soon as possible to ensure they are prepared to play. All communication and information about the game will be sent through Discord. Digital rolls will be available through Discord.

How Delphi creates a safe table

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.
