Grimwild: Adventuring Academy (Narrative First School Campaign)
Grimwild | Campaign
About the adventure
Grimwild runs on the Moxie system that is crafted for the following experience: - A very fun, action-y ensemble cast fantasy TV show vibe. - Freeform, flowing and cinematic gameplay - Collaborative storytelling process (both character wise and world building wise) - Players getting to narrate their actions successes with the GM in a supporting role, letting players fully immerse in their character - Characters that not only grow but also have evolving bonds with each other - Putting the focus on the party as a whole rather than just a single individual - A mix of crunch via a varied talent system able to create the character concept you want but enough lite-ness so that you don't get bogged down by unnecessary sheet keeping. We'll be playing in the 'Chatelaine Academy'. A sprawling campus with a detailed cast of NPCs, a school full of mysteries, secrets, and more. This is a academy made by adventurers, for adventurers, with a diverse population. The broad goal is to take in young aspiring adventurers just entering their prime age to ready them for the fantastical journeys outside and form their adventuring party. You'll be able to attend classes, meet NPCs and form bonds with them and learn how to become a proper hero! Finally Grimwild has a robust exploration system that lets you directly create things you prefer to see in the story yourself and as such guide the narrative towards what you want so you are sure to see the sites you wish to see, fight the dangers you wish to fight and explore the curiosities you wish to explore! For more questions and details message me here or add me on discord: toxicaptain.
We will have a private 1-on-1 pre-session 0, free of charge where you we can discuss character, expectations, plans etc. As well as possibly discuss pre-gen characters if that is something you wish to pursue.

How to prepare
- All you need to play is a discord account and a way access google sheets (both are free) - Microphones are required (webcams not) - It is preferred you at least read and/or skim the rulebook to understand the basics and concept of the game but you are not required to know the system in and out as I can give a 'crash course' during session 0 explaining the system as well as during play as we go and explore the system together - Characters will be made during session 0 and do not have to be made before. - Dice rolling will be made via a discord bot specifically made for the Moxie system
What I provide
Discord server with a dice roller and a music bot. I embrace the rule of cool and going with what makes sense for the narrative while making sure everyone gets to input their own ideas and fun. Expect to be able to move the story forward in the direction you wish and always keep the flow going and especially a narrative first mindset of what's most enjoyable for the players and the story.
Gameplay details
There will be a pre-session 0 where we talk about expectations, safety tools, character/world ideas and more. This will be free and completely 1-on-1 so you can get acclimated before hopping into the main session 0. There's even a list of pre-gens to go over if making a character from scratch isn't the most appealing to you. Lines and Veils will be inside the shared character sheet. Session 0 will feature setting lines and veils, defining the setting concept/themes and elements, character group and individual characters. Breaks can be taken when called for by the group and range from 5-10 minutes as necessary. Stars and Wishes may be brought up from session to session or on a case by case basis when deemed fit.

How will character creation work
Character creation is done together during session 0 as Grimwild puts the party at the forefront and as such characters should intertwine together and be made around each other via bonds and such. We'll be using the Grimwild character creation rules (with possible tweaks discussed during session 0 to fit the game you want to do)
