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.

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.

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

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.
