A Frightful Fairy Tale

A Frightful Fairy Tale

Everything seems distant and familiar, like a childhood storybook you can vaguely recall. It’s so much darker than you remember.

About the adventure

This is a retelling of classic fairytales! You get the chance to live them like you always dreamt of as a child, except everything seems so much more twisted than you recall. The game is open and welcome for new and old players. I always make my games heavy on roleplay and lighter on combat so prepare to solve puzzles, make connections, and world build alongside me!

About me

I’ve been gming for around 6 years on and off mostly with friends but occasionally running one shots and short campaigns for strangers online. I run a friendly fun table that’s lgbt friendly and a safe space.

Character creation

Creating your character

Starting level 1, you can use dnd beyond or pen and paper whatever works for you! Use the point buy system for your character creation. We can go over this in session 0 if you need any assistance. All reference books allowed and homebrew welcome as long as it’s well balanced.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

We will be using Owlbear rodeo for the game and a discord server for off game communications.

What Vulture Gillespie brings to the table

Get ready for: character voices, really interesting descriptions and concepts, rule of cool gameplay, opportunities to make decisions and create the game as we go along!

Homebrew rules

I give advantage to those who do interesting and clever things that can be used later or in the moment

Safety

How Vulture Gillespie creates a safe table

You’ll receive a lines and veils document. In session 0 we will review any limits and comfort zones. I try to keep the game light and enjoyable for all. X N & O can be messaged as needed. I try to wrap the session up in a cozy safe space
