Roses from Ruin, Learn the Wildsea | Newbie Friendly, 4 Sessions

Creating your character

Players who join the adventure will gain access to a Google Drive which has both a selection of pre-generated characters as well as instructions for quickly creating your own if you wish to make a custom character. For the slightly-knowledgeable: You can follow the Quick Start Kit instructions in the rulebook to generate a character. For the well-initiated: Build a character using the Old Dog creation rules.

Preparing for the session

Players should read the “Read Me” document in the Google Drive (shared when a player joins the adventure), which provides instructions for character creation and the basic rules of the game. Other documents in the Drive will help prepare players as well, but all aspects of playing Wildsea will be covered in-session.

What Colten brings to the table

I’ll provide an educational and imaginative experience for players both new and experienced. Wildsea grants equal storytelling power to the Firefly (Game Master) and the players, so if players have particular styles of adventure they want to explore, just let me know. That said, in our first session I’ll provide narrative structure and several potential adventure threads, so while players will have choices, we won’t risk the paralysis of a boundless sandbox. I’ll also provide a Discord server in which we’ll play, a Google Drive folder with helpful documents, and access to an Owlbear Rodeo virtual tabletop for situations when something more than theater-of-the-mind is called for.

How Colten creates a safe table

After joining the adventure, players will receive a link to a survey specific to this adventure which asks about each person's lines, veils, and preferences. If at any point during the session a player has questions or feels uncomfortable, I welcome and encourage them to speak up. If they prefer not to, however, any mid-session concerns can be directly messaged to me.
