Pokemon Tabletop PbP - Poke-Rest for the Weary and Whimsical

About the adventure

--> Game Description While weary trainers and pokemon wander in for a rest at the edge of the woods, something isn't quite right within the walls of the Starlight Inn. The floors seem to sing from time to time, the teacups choose their own cabinets, doors to darkness appear where they've never been, and Grimmsnarl can never remember where he's left his teddy. In this pokemon Play-by-Post campaign, you’ll explore a surreal and cozy manor on the border of the mysterious Glimwood Tangle. Whether you've agreed to remain a consistent caretaker along with your friend, or simply to help them run the inn just this once, something antique and ancient always seems to awaken while you stay. This is a narrative-first game focused on mystery, introspection, exploration, and connection with pokemon, guests, and your frazzled friend who promised to keep the inn alive before their grandfather's passing, as well as seemingly whatever magical whimsy lies beneath the manor’s quiet charm. Light mechanics will be taught as needed. No prior PTA3 experience required! --> Play Format & Schedule - This is a Play-by-Post game hosted on Discord, meaning the game occurs through text posts and responses across the week. - Major narrative scenes, updates, and adventure hooks will be sent during the time that this game is scheduled on StartPlaying.Games. - Games will still be actively monitored throughout the week with active GM engagement every day from Sunday through Thursday. - Players are requested to post something (even if short) at least 3 times per week, or to notify the group if engagement will be lower, to keep the story flowing and to remain respectful of other player engagement. --> Optional Office Hours - I will host weekly engagement hours on Discord on Wednesdays and Thursdays! During these windows, you’re welcome to drop in our voice channel to: - Chat about your character or backstory, - Plan side quests or scenes, - Ask questions about PTA3 rules, and/or... - Explore potential character relationships or arcs. --> Billing & Player Expectations - This game uses weekly billing through StartPlaying. - If a player doesn’t pay for a given week, they may be temporarily paused and set aside until they rejoin, but unless this is a pattern, they won't be removed from seeing engagement channels (just interacting). - If you plan to step away for any reason, feel free to let me know. I'm open to finding solutions if you feel the above doesn't work well for you. --> Final Notes If you enjoy character-driven roleplay, soft horror, silly and whimsical mystery, and Pokémon stories with a touch of the surreal, you will find a welcome place here at the Starlight Inn. New players are always welcome. Bring a warm drink, a curious heart, and maybe a flashlight... and please mind the wallpaper... it has started moving again.
