About the adventure

Since days of old, the village of Tannic, sitting precariously on the edge of woods and sea, has celebrated the summer equinox with an elaborate festival full of dancing and celebration which draws visitors from miles around. During this fortnight of festivities, young villagers prove their courage through camping deep in the forest. For many years, this ritual has proceeded without incident except mosquito bites and broken bones. Grave misfortune struck this year. 3 days ago, three village youth: Osric, Flora, and Astrid, failed to return from their midsummer jaunt beneath the pines. Peregrine the woodsman led multiple search parties, turning up tracks, strange signs, and confusion, but naught else. Desperate, the village elders turn to you for assistance in locating the missing young adults, offering a precious local relic and money. Tannic is a love letter to the pine barrens, youthful adventures, and campfire stories. This mini-campaign will include a session 0 and span anywhere from 2-4 sessions of play. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ More about the game itself: Once upon a time... ...there was a Princess. Actually, a few Princesses. You have probably heard their stories. The Princesses who were locked away in towers or had evil step-parents. The ones who kissed frogs or tamed beasts or were secretly mermaids. You know. THOSE Princesses. This game is about what happens to those Princesses when they find themselves in a whole new world with new perils lurking around every corner. A world of dragons and monsters and wizards and the Dark Scary Things that hide in the Dark Scary Places. Luckily, they begin this adventure especially equipped to deal with the challenges that await. They have their resolve, their grace and their wits—the kind of inner strength that only Princesses possess. Paired with a basket of goodies and a special Gift from their Fairy Godmothers, they sharpen their swords, light their torches, polish their glass slippers and set out together to delve into the darkest dungeons. __________________________________________________ Subject Matter: fantasy, mystery, violence, medieval-like themes. There are some fantasy magical creatures that may be indirectly harmed or alluded to, but will be done in accordance with lines and veils. You can expect classic fantasy magic tropes from things like Disney movies, musicals, folklore, and even the occasional Brothers Grimm.

About me

Hey there! If you're looking for a narrative, player-driven, inclusive experience - I'm your chef - no wait, game master! My gaming ingredients are: 🥩 protein-packed - I love games with real chewable moments for players. Dig into your feelings! 🫐 fruity - I'm a part of the LGBTQIA2+ community and my ideal games reflect all sorts of diversity, neurodivergence included <3 🥬 nutrient dense - love lore? love digging into complex and interconnected systems? we stan a story built around the players! ☕️ warm and cozy - I aim for an experience that draws players together and fills our buckets! Safety tools are a must! Check out the available games or contact me for a custom one-shot or campaign pitches! Here's a little bit more about my time in and out of the kitchen (game world!) I've gm'd and ran learn to play sessions, one-shots, mini campaigns, and full campaigns (30+ sessions, multi-year) for: 🎲 5e (2014, module and homebrew) 🎲 Powered by the Apocalypse system games (Brindlewood Bay, The Between, Monster of the Week, Avatar Legends) 🎲 Dicepool games (Blades in the Dark, R'lyehwatch RPG, and Slugblaster) 🎲 OSR games (Cairn, Mausritter, and Perils & Princesses) 🎲 one page games (Rat Chef, Lasers and Feelings, Cracker Barrel has Fallen, Boy Problems, Honey Heist, etc - really anything I can get my hands on.) I'm the ~librarian~ of my ttrpg circle, constantly backing or supporting new games on kickstarter, patreon, or drivethrurpg. I enjoy creating a homebrew experience or tailoring content for the game my players want - so they can shine in their roleplay, character growth, and community. What I love most as a player AND a GM are those GASP moments, where jaws are hanging open, players realize a woven plot thread, or we all collectively revel in major story moments.

Character creation

Creating your character

After an onboarding chat via discord, players will be invited to a discord server where the game will be hosted and given all the materials to create a character. There is not an expectation to make a Princess (character) before session 0, only to familiarize yourself with the content provided. Players will have the opportunity to make their characters via those materials on fillable PDFS, and generate them as a part of session 0. Pre-mades will also be provided.

The current party

Tannic is a OSR Module I've adapted for Perils and Princesses and typically runs 2-4 sessions! It's a perfect introduction to the system when a one-shot just doesn't cut it! This mini-adventure will run through this summer, weekly on Sunday US evenings! No prior experience with the system is necessary - a Session 0 will happen, and pre-gens are available!

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Players will need a stable internet connection, a webcam, a mic, access to discord and google (both you can make for free!) They will need to review materials prior to our session but will not need to make a character.

What Syd (Shawk) brings to the table

I'll provide all the resources necessary to create a character and play the game, all via PDF and hosted online in a ttrpg-centric discord! I'll utilize ambient music, a shared google sheet for our information - and we'll play with video on discord! If a map is needed, we'll utilize the free owlbear rodeo interface. I love to try character voices (though maybe not able to carry an accent consistently) and give varied dynamics with all NPCs. This is a combat light, roleplay heavy old school style game in which the players are encouraged to roleplay and think strategically. For princesses, not every hazard should be met with violence. Players can expect a goofy tone with serious moments from time to time in a primarily classic fantasy-themed experience.

Safety

How Syd (Shawk) creates a safe table

The game or system involves events that may result in descriptions of biases, motives, accidents, injuries, abuse, jealousy, classism, betrayal, religion, and/or cults. Your character may experience some violence as part of their journey, but has the option to be more or less careful about putting themselves in danger and to state/share any lines or veils around this prior to any roleplay. We will fill out a lines and veils sheet at the top of play and go over all safety tools for our digital game. Safety Tools: Lines & Veils, X-Card, CATS will all be in effect.
