How to prepare

At the very least, players will need access to a microphone, Discord, and a reliable internet connection with web browser access. Cameras on (at least most of the time) is highly encouraged for community building, though certainly not required. You are welcome to bring food and drink to enjoy during the session, though I ask that you not imbibe or intake anything in excess that would alter your ability to effectively participate in the game. Prior experience with Kids on Brooms is not required. During the game, I'll explain everything organically as it becomes relevant for play, and I'll provide some basic rules and reference guides. This system does use a full set of polyhedral dice. You can utilize either physical dice or a digital dice roller, depending on your preference, and I can provide you with a digital dice link if needed.

What I provide

I will provide the voice, text, and video chat channels through my professional Worlds 4 All Discord server, which is the main platform we will use for play. While I particularly love the creative freedom of "theater of the mind" storytelling, I use concept art from Pinterest, etc. to enhance our visual experience, and I do my best to perform a variety of quirky voices and mannerism for NPCs. I also generally embrace the "Rule of Cool" when players get excited about helping me co-create scenes, and I'll use the Kids on Brooms core rulebook to help guide us otherwise.

Gameplay details

Before session, I will send you a link to my "Session Zero Checklist" form, which includes my non-negotiables as a Game Facilitator dedicated to hosting safe spaces, as well as an opportunity for you to tell me a little about yourself, your accessibility needs, and your personal lines and veils. During the game, we will use a simplified X-card system using private messages and/or the group chat. After the game, I'll ask each player to send me their "Stars & Wishes" to help me continuing improving as a facilitator.

How will character creation work

Kids on Brooms includes collaborative world-building and character creation as part of the initial gameplay. Therefore, the first hour or so of our time together will be dedicated to this, with the adventure occuring for the remaining time. I have several pre-generated "Upperclass Student" character sheets based on the tropes included in the Kids on Brooms core rulebook that I will provide, and then you'll get a chance to flavor these characters and make them your own.
