Fallout: The Black Forest

Creating your character

You can either show up with a character, build one with the GM from scratch as part of session 0, or use a prefab.

Preparing for the session

Access to discord and foundry VTT is required for play. I run my games from within my community server on discord which I will provide a link to after I receive your application.

What Asher brings to the table

Notable NPC voices Ambient Pip Boy Radio Atmospheric background noise We will stick to rules as written Combat will be lethal and reward critical thinking as well as creative plans. (Maybe don't rush the bandit camp with not but spears)

Homebrew rules

I will be implementing Cyberware throughout the campaign, for example scaling subdermal armors that stack with clothing and armor, or neural implants that buff your int, or add additional d10 onto skill checks or reduce difficulty of certain skill or stat checks, though these augmentations are incredibly rare

How Asher creates a safe table

You can expect a one to one with yours truly to discuss your lines and veils, discern whether the game is for you before payment, and even if it doesn't work out your presence will remain welcome within the discord server. We use a color system safe word for safety during play Red being a hard limit has been crossed or discovered during play, yellow requesting the crew slow down or fade to black before the scene escalates and green letting the crew know that the scene despite its discomfort is okay to continue. At any given time these safe words can be used verbally or text in the VTT. Despite the grimdark nature of the games there are some elements I simply won't allow at the table. Furthermore although sexual predators occasionally take the spotlight as villains, SA of any kind is avoided at the table and at its absolute worst is only implied against NPCs, otherwise I've no tolerance for the topic at the table being portrayed against fellow players or even implied PC to NPC interactions. PvP is available should there be narrative in character reasons for it. All parties should be aware of the threat of PvP how their actions could provoke it and a single warning out of character and in character is required before we roll initiative. Furthermore as a host I reserve the right to veto PvP if it's inappropriate. If a character is not actively poking the bear and PvP is still on the table the person who is not aggressive can veto the scenario on their own. Player agency is trumped by player comfort. Though play by post is available for those who desire it out of scheduled sessions it's highly recommended to take breaks as needed, share or memes take the time to step back and self care after the games etc. I am willing to take time post session to discuss icky feelings should they arise. I want to know what's upset my players and how I can do better in the future. Regarding the PC's moral flexibility, I will have no input, depravity has consequences. As does being just.
