About the adventure

The Porvenir - missing for weeks, feared lost - has mysteriously returned, anchored at the uninhabited island Fellcay and without a crew. And yet all that F. V. Co.'s owner wants from the ship are a dozen small crates in its hold… She invites a group of adventurers to climb aboard the great vessel and hack their way through a horde of undead sailors, a headless seahorseman, eels wearing dead men's skeletons as exo-suits, and even the ship itself, all in the name of profit. Who will heed the call? And what will they ultimately choose to do with the Porvenir's dread cargo?

What Ken brings to the table

GM Style Relaxed Roleplay: I’ll aim to bring NPCs to life with lighthearted character voices and playful personalities, keeping interactions fun and welcoming for players of all experience levels. Atmospheric Music and Sounds: Festive music and gentle ambient sounds will enhance the game’s cozy, holiday atmosphere. Think crackling fires, jingling bells, and cheerful tunes to set the mood. Casual Challenges: While there will still be puzzles, exploration, and combat, the stakes are lower, and the focus is on shared fun rather than intense tactics. Creative solutions and teamwork will shine here. Rule of Fun: I’m flexible with the rules to keep things lighthearted and entertaining. If your idea adds to the holiday cheer or makes for a memorable moment, chances are I’ll say yes! Expectations for Players Relax and Have Fun: This is a laid-back holiday game meant to spark joy and create memorable moments. Feel free to play a quirky character, make bold choices, and embrace the festive silliness. Inclusive and Collaborative Play: Teamwork is still important, but the emphasis is on having fun together rather than strict strategy. Bring a cooperative spirit and a sense of humor to the table. Engagement at Your Level: Whether you love diving deep into roleplay or just want to roll some dice and laugh, there’s room for all play styles. Just bring your holiday cheer and enjoy the adventure. Post-Game Check-In: After the session, we’ll take a few minutes to share highlights and laughs, wrapping things up with positive vibes for everyone.

How Ken creates a safe table

Gameplay Safety Tools: X, N, & O Cards During gameplay, X, N, and O Cards will be used for player comfort: X-Card: Stops the game immediately if a topic becomes uncomfortable. Players can signal this verbally, show it on video, or type an "X" in chat. N-Card: Indicates nearing discomfort, prompting a scene pivot or slowdown. An "N" typed in chat or shown on video works. O-Card: Indicates that players are good to continue or escalate intensity, especially useful in combat or suspenseful moments. To ensure privacy, players can also message these signals directly to me. Debriefing Following each session, I’ll lead a debrief to discuss highlights, challenges, and any points that might have felt intense or uncomfortable. This debriefing will help gauge the group’s comfort, gather feedback, and adjust future sessions to enhance everyone’s experience.
