About the adventure
In the small town of Hillview, teenage hoverboarders sneak into other dimensions to explore, film tricks, go viral, and get away from the problems at home. It’s dangerous. It’s stupid. It’s got parent groups in a panic. And it’s the coolest thing ever. Welcome to Hillview It doesn’t have a movie theatre. It doesn’t have a Turbo Taco. But it has a gas station, a curling rink, fourteen churches, and some of the thinnest spacetime fabric on the planet. Thin enough for a growing, underground subculture of resourceful teenagers to hack through into the vibrant planescape of exotic and dangerous worlds just beyond. Who Do You Want to Be? Will you be a gutsy rich kid with a modified reality cannon? A chill loser with a lovable robot sidekick and strict parents? A meta-dimensional princess with a negafriction katana? Mix and match aesthetic, home life, personality, and signature devices to craft your character. What Do You Want to Do? Blow off school and sesh the abandoned mall in Vastiche. Get the Miper sponsorship by speed-running Calorium. Salvage power crystals from the mossy, decommissioned gundam in the Golden Jungle. Make waves by sneaking into Quahalia without a logic binder. Crash the hottest party in Popularia. Just make sure you can get home before the demi-plane melts, or a metasaur eats your face, or Rescue scoops you up and hauls you back to the decontamination facility. Or, you know, before your mom finds out and sends you away to troubled youth camp. This is Slugblaster. A table-table rpg about teenagehood, giant bugs, circuit-bent rayguns, and trying to be cool.
Love the FitD system but want to play a teenager slamming through dimension after dimension? Break out of detention and ollie over giant tech-whales or lava dragons? Slugblaster is for you! Due to the close-knit nature of characters and roleplay interaction this game tends to have, everyone playing will have an onboarding chat with me prior to the campaign starting/joining the game to ensure the game and group are a good fit. To allow for this, a player who joins with less than 24 hours prior to game time will be invited to spectate the session for free (if desired) and start officially participating with the next session after the onboarding discussion, safety form, and character creation.

How to prepare
Players will need a stable internet connection, a webcam, a mic, access to discord and google (both you can make for free!) They will need to review materials prior to our session 0 but will not need to make a character.
What I provide
I'll provide all the resources necessary to create a character and play the game, all via PDF and hosted online in a ttrpg-centric discord! I'll utilize ambient music when appropriate, a shared google sheet for our information - and we'll play with video on discord! I love to try character voices (though maybe not able to carry an accent consistently) and give varied dynamics with all NPCs. This is a combat light, roleplay heavy Forged in the Dark game in which the players are just as much in charge of the narrative as the game runner. Players can expect a goofy tone with serious moments from time to time, a light sprinkling of interdimensional horror, and light-hearted antics alongside a coming of age story.
Gameplay details
The game involves typical teenage angst - and that means some of the subject matter listed above! Cliques, bullying, overbearing families, and annoying siblings are intermixed with the darker bits of growing up - friendships breaking, crushes, jealousy, school performance, broken families... and all of that against a hyper-pigmented, jacked up background of interdimensional travel, skate culture, and stunts. Your character may experience some violence as part of their days but has the option to be more or less careful about putting themselves in danger and to state/share any lines or veils around this prior to any roleplay. We will fill out a lines and veils sheet at the top of play and go over all safety tools for our digital game. Safety Tools: Lines & Veils, X-Card (digital) CATS will all be in effect.

How will character creation work
Players will be invited to a discord server where the game will be hosted and given all the materials to create a character. Players will have the opportunity to make slugblaster teens and discuss specific choices during a dedicated session 0. Characters will be created on our shared google sheet - inspiration from your own teen cringe, culture tropes, and classic coming of age vibes encouraged!
