The Fifth Season: Stress Fractures

The Fifth Season: Stress Fractures

The Fifth Season | Campaign

About the adventure

In this world, community—the comm—is everything, because in community there is support and a chance to persevere. Beginning the game, you are residents of a community brought together to investigate recent crop thefts. Your duty is to prevent mob justice in the face of recent disturbances. The Fifth Season Roleplaying game is set in the world of the Broken Earth trilogy of novels by N.K. Jemisin. This game welcomes beginners. Rules will be explained as we play. My tables are queer, disability and neurodivergence friendly. I encourage creativity, exploration, and roleplay. Let's prepare for the next disaster in the Broken Earth together. The Fifth Season RPG uses the age system. We'll be using Roll20 and Discord.

Al ran such a fun daggerheart one shot for us! It was my first time playing and they were so good at explaining any rules for the group and creating a game where each player got to have their moment. Thank you!

Really fun. Very helpful in learning the new Daggerheart system. Hit all the high points and made sure everyone felt safe and stayed with in the group's line and veils. Thank you.

This GM is a fantastic intro-er to the world of Daggerheart! Very open to a looser play style, we all got to ask any questions, and we all had fun making our characters! Highly encourage!

Al is an outstanding game master, especially for newcomers to tabletop RPGs. They have a natural talent for teaching rules in a way that's clear, engaging, and never overwhelming. Their patience and encouragement create a welcoming space where new players feel supported and confident to dive in. Sessions run smoothly thanks to their strong grasp of the system and ability to adapt on the fly, keeping the game fun, focused, and flowing. Highly recommended for both seasoned players and first-timers!

Additional details

How to prepare

You will need a mic. Camera optional. We'll use Roll20 for playbooks and rolling dice. You'll need to login to the game on Roll20 through a web browser. We'll use Discord for voice/video. You'll need a Discord account. I will go over the rules at the beginning of the session but I'll provide a rules summary for those that would like to read the rules beforehand.

What I provide

I will prepare Roll20 and bring the Fifth Season Quickstart and deep knowledge and love for the Broken Earth Trilogy.

Gameplay details

Players will fill out a palette document before the first session. The document can be added to at any time. Script Change buttons are available in Roll20 and Discord. Players can also say Script Change/phrases like "Stop" or "Rewind" to invoke the safety tool.
