Creating your character

Please create a character using the Mothership Companion App, we will also be using the app for dice rolls: https://www.tuesdayknightgames.com/pages/mothership-companion-app Character creation in Mothership is very quick, feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions about it.

Preparing for the session

We'll be playing over Discord, so please make sure you have that downloaded. During the game I will be using my webcam and I'd like everyone to be using their webcams if possible. Being able to see each other helps me keep up the energy, speeds up communication and makes it easier to make sure everyone is having a good time. If you can't be on camera, that's not a deal breaker - but can you let me know before our game please. As stated in character creation, you'll need the Mothership Companion App to play: https://www.tuesdayknightgames.com/pages/mothership-companion-app

What WacoMatrixo brings to the table

I'm pleased to be able to reassure you that I can embrace the ‘Rule of Cool’. In my games, failing a dice roll doesn’t mean "nothing happens" instead every roll moves the game forward, even if the overall situation gets worse for your character. I play some background ambient music from Tabletop Audio, which I can changes to fit the environment. I also occasionally use a voice modulator to enhance the performance of certain NPCs. I may also use techniques to ramp up the tension such as countdown timers and secret objectives.

Homebrew rules

Due to the 'West Marches' style of this campaign, I've streamlined some of the stat-tracking elements of play. Health points are restored every session, but wounds still need to be cured as per the Players Survival Guide. Stress is reduced at the start of each session by rolling a d20, if you roll under your current stress, that's the number it's reduced to. As I stated above, at the end of your session you'll pick the bounty for the next session - even if you aren't scheduled to play. When the Dingö Pack moved into their homebase, they found an old box of pre-war frag grenades. Anyone who types up what happened in their session on the Discord for the other players to read, gets a free grenade next session!

How WacoMatrixo creates a safe table

I use the ‘lines and veils’ safety tool. If there are any particular subjects you’d like to avoid in our session, please feel free to message me beforehand. We'll cover topics to avoid at the start of every session anyway. Generally I can say for myself I don't feature sexual content or animal abuse in my games. You're also encouraged to let me know if you feel uncomfortable during the game. If you prefer you can DM me privately or even flash an 'X' with your fingers on webcam. There's a 10 minute break usually halfway through the session and at the end we will debrief with 'Stars and Wishes'.
