About the adventure
--> Description You’ve passed your exams, chosen your Pokémon partner, and maybe even watched a few too many documentaries. Your time on campus at TideFern University is nearly at an end. In just a few short days, you'll FINALLY leave Lilycove City to begin your one-year capstone project and the culmination of all your studies. If you succeed, a future of training, raising, healing, or even battling with Pokémon at your side awaits. Your final assignment: Travel the Hoenn region on a Gym Circuit, earn badges, explore at least one field beyond competitive battling, conduct field research, and experience Hoenn’s wild beauty firsthand. However, as you prepare to leave, reports across all of Hoenn bring news of strange weather phenomena sweeping the region. Still, as you've learned, preparing for an adventure means preparing for the unexpected. You'll be ready, strange weather or not. Set in a slightly homebrewed version of Hoenn, this game will feature vibrant ecosystems, hidden ruins, dynamic Pokémon Gym combat, character-driven stories, unexpected dangers, and a deeper mystery that seems to follow wherever your characters go. --> PTU / PTR Game System - Pokemon Tabletop Reunited - Updated version of Pokemon Tabletop United (written by the writer of PTU) - Familiar mechanics, edges, features, abilities, etc... - Enhanced automation and smoother GM tools, which helps me run a stronger game for you. - The same PTU Core with a bit more functionality. --> Game Considerations - Adventure Vibes: Spooky Region-Wide Mystery - Inclusive Table: Safe space for queer identities and other marginalized voices. - New Players Welcome: No prior PTR or TTRPG experience necessary! Curiosity and Questions are encouraged! - Free Session 0: Try it out, learn to build a character, and see if the group feels like a good fit for you.

About me
Hi all! I’m Emma, the Game Master behind Cozy Critical, a space where I hope to bring collaboration, cozy fun, and epic adventure together for people's enjoyment. Tabletop games provide a restful outlet that helps us disconnect from the real world for a little while, and I hope that my games can provide that for you! With over 5 years as a GM, 7 years playing TTRPGs, 6 years as a middle school science teacher, and 3 years in higher education I bring rich game mechanics together with an environment where players can feel comfortable learning new systems and trying new things. My goal is to create welcoming games that blend character development, emotional fantasy adventure arcs, and hopefully the right amount of chaos and silliness. Between a professional virtual tabletop setup and my past experience leading fantasy games, streaming TTRPGs, podcasting, and performing theater, I offer a strong foundation for us to build something special at the table. Whether you are new to TTRPGs or have played longer than I have, I hope you'll join me for some collaborative fun. Thanks so much, and I look forward to telling unforgettable stories together 💫

Creating your character
Characters will be created together on Foundry Virtual Tabletop during a free Session 0! Please think of a broader concept for the type of trainer you wish to create. This game will be set in what is typically considered the "modern" pokemon era. Technology is readily available, fairly comparable to real-life modern technology, and relatively advanced for anything related to pokemon capturing, battling, storing, transfers, and trades. While modern transportation is readily available, most trainers do choose to hike, walk, or bike between destinations, and are often in the wilderness for days to weeks at a time.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Once you sign up for the game, I will share a Discord server invitation link with you :) All of the links you will need to explore the rule-set, to set up an account on our Virtual Tabletop, and to begin planning a character concept will be located in the Discord server.
What Jamie Emma brings to the table
I will take care of the world-building, NPC voices, in-game music, virtual tabletop, rules management, and player engagement. All I need from you is a willingness to explore the setting and build a story together!
Homebrew rules
I won't be using homebrew mechanics, but I may introduce homebrew regional pokemon variants, uncommon typing for some pokemon, and new mega evolutions.
