Grimwild: Gaelenvale. Build and Learn about The Town Together

How to prepare

You must have Discord, as we will be using voice channels there. It will mostly be voice-only for my end. Players are free to employ their cameras. Computers/Laptops are suggested over Mobile Phones, but the latter are still viable. When requested, a live voice session can be arranged to explain the Grimwild system or create/modify a new/existing character. I highly recommend reading the game rules due to the nature of the game system. Nonetheless, I will do my absolute best to be a guide and helper when a rule is forgotten or misunderstood, and the rest are always willing to lend a hand too!

What I provide

PDFs of the Grimwild V1.3 Core Rulebook and a Shared Character Keeper will be shared with all players. I also own the Exploration Deck Supplement, Gaelenvale, Nevermore so you can expect additional rules to be used to liven the game up and pose more challenges to you. I'm also an avid content creator, so everyone feels free to charge at me with your crazy ideas, no need to hold back your wild Story beats. Expect me to have an open mindset yet be argumentative when we discuss how to achieve what you want with the fiction in consideration. I'll post reference images such as item art, character portraits, sceneries, or maps into Discord if their presence will contribute to the game. I like to keep every NPC unique through their spins of distinctive traits, appearances, and/or habits. I hope you will like how the NPCs are presented. Hopefully, the same applies to every other interaction in my game. I have confidence in creating a story we can enjoy together, as such, I expect you all to come in with the same mindset and be active in not just rollplay but also roleplay. Seeing we are all here to have fun, rules can and will be modified to suit the table's needs.

Gameplay details

"Session 0" lasts for a week and will be held (possibly Live) to break the ice between us, lay down the rules of the table, set up and confirm player expectations, give a brief world introduction, and create characters together. Character Template(s) custom-tailored to you will be available to choose from and modify two days after a request. A living Lines and Veil document will also be sent during this session. It can be edited anytime throughout the game, and I will check it weekly before the game, and everyone else is urged to do the same. During the game, if something you are uncomfortable with arises, please immediately discuss it with the group and express your needs or wants for how the play should continue. You are not required but encouraged to inform the group if you are stepping away for more than 3 minutes. However, sharing the reason(s) for your discomfort is optional and will not be judged. Your opinions of the game, whether an issue or a good part, will be asked for between sessions. However, you are encouraged to comment on your initiative about the game. I can better draft the following sessions' contents only when I'm informed.

How will character creation work

Feel free to bring a rough draft of what you want to play or your character can do and a simple (as in adaptable) backstory, in any format you prefer. The actual character creation process will be done during "Session 0" with everyone. Otherwise, it is only us, alongside anyone interested in a separate channel if "Session 0" has ended. Your character will start with default starting values, and the details will be explained during "Session 0." (Optionally, you may scour the Grimwild Rulebook/Character Keeper beforehand for it.) All official sources are allowed. Custom Content will be permitted for use on a case-by-case basis after I review it, with the clause that I can edit/rebalance it when required.
