Wake of the Oldways : a Cozy Campaign in the Dales

Creating your character

Character creation will take place as a group during Session 0. While players do not need prior knowledge of the character creation experience using Legend in the Mist rules coming into Session 0, I will make sure any player who wants to review the rules and options they have ahead of time will have access to the appropriate resources. While Players are encouraged to make their own Heroes, we also have three (3) premade characters ready for play: • Finn, the Red Marshal: a strapping young constable protecting a sleepy village and dreaming of glory • Seede, the Apple Picker: a rascally orphan working as a farmhand, pranking the people of Ravenshome • Rosamund, the Wise One: an aging recluse versed in the Oldways, a sage and apothecary for her Dale

Preparing for the session

As part of the game's prep materials, every player will receive a link to a private Discord server dedicated to my games: we'll use voice chat for gameplay and text chat for chatter while "in the wings." To join the server, however, each player will need access to a Discord account. Please be ready by preparing that ahead of time. For VTT, I will provide a link before gametime to a hosted Foundry VTT instance. We'll handle character sheets and rolls there!

What Maggie Mae brings to the table

As the Narrator, I will provide a table where players are safe to learn the Legend in the Mist, so please expect a patient learning environment! I'll answer questions, give advice, and gently direct if any player gets lost or confused. Once players get more comfortable, I'll become more hands-off to allow for more curiosity and exploration, but players will always have access to help throughout the duration of the campaign.

How Maggie Mae creates a safe table

Session 0 will include both character creation and coverage of anonymously compiled table-wide Lines and Veils. You are allowed at any moment to publicly or privately let me and/or the table know that you are getting up from the table, with or without explaining why. I will keep things rolling or call a break depending on your input. If you ever become uncomfortable for any reason, pulling an X or N card is not only allowed, it is highly encouraged! You do not need to explain why, but if you are willing to, I would be more than happy to hear how I could have better curated your experience during post-game debrief. X, N, & O cards take place within Foundry VTT in the form of an Add-On Module called "Table Safety." Anonymous tools like Hardstop (X), Fast-Forward and Pause (N) will be available to all of the players. Hands (a "raise your hand" feature) is not anonymous to the Narrator, but other players won't know specifically who wants a chance to speak.
