About the adventure

Beginner-Friendly, BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ Friendly The only surviving heirs to the Last Orc Chieftain vie `throne. Let assassination, demagoguery, thuggery and violence decide the day! Even if you have never played a DramaSystem game before, now is the time to learn this this game that takes the underlying structure of interpersonal conflict underlying fiction, movies and television and brings it to role-playing. The focus is reversed from most other role-playing games rather than hand wave the role-play and have a complex system for procedural scenes (combat, theft, and so on), DramaSystem puts the negotiation and role-playing in central focus while using an abstract system to handle procedural stuff. The is an inclusive game environment. All participants should feel accepted, respected and appreciated. The diversity of the group allows the play we have to be more encompassing and fun.

About me

I have been playing role playing games since picking up Moldvay's Basic DnD box set. I have run a wide variety of games since: AD&D 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th editions, Space 1889 (Savage Worlds edition), GURPS 3rd edition, World of Darkness games, Call of Cthulhu, Ashen Stars (Gumshoe), The Kerberos Club (Fate Edition), Shadowrun 4th edition, 13th Age, and Shadow of the Demon Lord. I also enjoy facilitating more narrative games like Annalise, Shock, 3:16, Apocalypse World, Monster of the Week, Monster Hearts, Remember Tomorrow, Microscope, World Wide Wrestling 2e, Spione, Penny for My Thoughts, and Dirty Secrets. I bring a wide range of experience from a lot of different types of games run. And the most important thing still is that everyone in the session enjoys themselves.

Character creation

Creating your character

We will do character generation during session zero.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

I will be using Foundry VTT to run this game. Foundry runs in your browser and is optimized for laptop/desktop environments. In addition to that, you would need a microphone and webcam.

What Aaron Scott brings to the table

I will be using DramaSystem for this game. So this game will help new players learn the system and can take that to other games. I will be utilizing ambient music.

Safety

How Aaron Scott creates a safe table

We will go over X, N and O usage before play. So everyone is on the same page. Lines and veils will also be discussed before play. Keep in mind that this game is for all ages so adult content is a hard line for this game. Anything too adult for a PG-13 film would pass that line.
