Of Money and Monsters

Creating your character

Characters will be created upon sign-up. Players roll six sided dice to determine character traits. Using those traits, the character's player designs backstory, personality, appearance, and any other aspects of their characters. This process will be done in a shared Google Document. Once the player is satisfied, they can introduce the character in the Role Play hub.

Preparing for the session

We utilize Google Docs and Discord. I will send you the links once you're signed up. Other than that, maybe get a nice book if you enjoy in-game journaling. Get some snacks and drinks for your play sessions. Oh! And be willing to indulge your creativity! I'm here to help, but this is YOUR story!

What Quinn Alej brings to the table

Above and priority over everything else, I provide a safe game for people who don't have many other options. I know how hard it can be to find a game where we can be open and just enjoy ourselves. Everything I do here is meant to provide that safe game and community. ------------------ I provide a Google Doc in which we create characters and ships, identify and overcome threats, pursue missions, and tell our story. I provide a Discord Server on which you will be able to post your Correspondence. I also provide shared space on the Discord server for players to chat about non-game topics and find others to game with. I provide a document and guidance on the mechanics, but I do most of the work on that anyway. This game is built on the spirit of Rule of Cool, and mechanics are already minimal, but your document gets you through most of the crunch. And yes, I will provide reminders to send Correspondence.

Homebrew rules

Players must roll against the provided tables. Player selection is not currently supported.

How Quinn Alej creates a safe table

This space is designed for players from marginalized communities to have a dedicated space to play, without the usual will they/won't they that comes with looking for new gaming groups. I have a zero tolerance policy for things I know to put my loved ones, peers, friends, family, neighbors, and strangers at risk. Ok! With that said, let's move on! Session Zero is between the player and the Game Runner. There is no other pre-game interaction between players that they do not initiate outside of game space. Character, ship, and mission creation occur via private Google Document. Because Session Zero is between the Game Runner and the player, it is possible to try to pair players with players who share interests, experiences, or otherwise uplift their fellow players. All of my games utilize the Traffic Light System. Green means good to go, yellow means slow down and let's adjust, and red is full stop. I'm not sure it will be needed, due to the way this game is designed, but it is in place. I am learning more about how to manage Bleed and how it can apply to games like this. Players only directly interact during the initial departure, through Correspondence, and then during the optional reunion at the end. This allows the Game Runner to filter content and helps keep the game spacec safe. The nature of this game makes content warnings very difficult, but it also allows me to fine tune around any content restrictions players may have. I included the things I expect are most common in correspondence, and will update the list as needed. I use a player consent list based on the Monte Cook survey. This game is inherently open door. Take as much time as you need. All we ask is that we all finish around the same time at the end of the third week.
