The First and Final Voyage of The Inheritance!

Creating your character

I will be teaching the game during session 0 and I want to encourage players to make their characters during that session and then hammer out the details before session 1 comes around. I like starting character creation all together because it helps everyone feel like they fit in as a part of the party! I do want people to have plenty of time to develop and think about their role so I didn't want to limit character creation to just the session 0. (especially if there's a lot of newcomers as teaching the game would take some precedence)

Preparing for the session

I am prepared to teach the game to players who have never played Wildsea or any other Forged in the Dark game so I'll handle most of the prep. (I even have the official character sheets in both printer friendly and digital!) I would love it if y'all would find time to read up about The Wildsea, or watch a video about it. More understanding about the setting and system will only add to your enjoyment!

(a webcam is preferred but not mandatory)

What Nishaant brings to the table

I love running games in the theater of the mind, and embrace the rule of cool openly because I think it's best when it comes to immersion, the less windows and interfaces you have to deal with the better! I try to keep things as fluid as possible so I lean more to the Rule of Cool rather than Rules as Written. I frequently make edits to settings for story purposes but overall I keep things accurate to the system and setting. I also like to make requests of players, getting them more involved with the story by having them name locations or NPCs, prompting them to establish history by asking for character memories in flashbacks, asking them for their plans instead of guiding them along to my predetermined plot. So if you want your RPG to feel like a wide open world that still feels personal and personable, I'm your guy!

How Nishaant creates a safe table

I take safety pretty seriously, I create and fill out a Lines and Veils document and send the link out to the players during the Session 0, which covers how to play, setting, safety, and some character creation. I usually have the X cards done in message but I think it might be better if the players can hold up the cards. Also before every session I make sure to tell players if there might be some upsetting content coming up and ask if they're comfortable with that. Post session I always run a debrief with players to help with bleed and to go over any concerns that came up during the session.
