Forest Friends Heist- Roll for Shoes- POC & LGBTQ+ Friendly

Creating your character

Come prepared with an idea of a fun and funky forest creature character who has one or two unique skills or talents that may set them apart. I like character aesthetic boards, media tropes, and playlists to give me an idea of your character's wants, needs, and flaws. Before gameplay we will have a short Session 0 to build the cast and go over rules and how the game works.

Preparing for the session

You will need a Discord account, and five D6 dice. The server also has a dice rolling feature if you want that flexibility. Bring a pencil/pen and paper as well. You will be added to the server after signing up for the game. Basic rules and source material will be available on the server.

What Emberlee Ash brings to the table

My games are about character expression. I lean heavily on role playing and encourage pcs to interact and form relationships of all kinds within group and with NPCs. I love featuring stories that are messy, magical, and embrace the beauty of what the world could be if we let wonder take hold. My games are low on combat and I tend to favor players working out conflict with negotiation and good communication. That does not means it won't come to fist a cuffs during game, but that is not the point of my games. Rules are guidelines here as well, and I am willing to bend them for a good plot and/or with proper explanation. I do bring in character voices but it is not my strong suit. In fact, my tables sometimes get a good laugh at my attempts. I do enjoy deep description of characters, settings, and objects in the worlds we visit. I even bring in my own artwork for the games! I prefer to have my camera on while playing for ease of understanding of my players, and would prefer they have their cameras on too. This is flexible though, and I also have sympathy for those that struggle to be on camera. Let me know if you have any concerns or accommodations that need to be met.

How Emberlee Ash creates a safe table

My table is a safe and courageous space for players. We will use a Lines and Veils document, sent out before Session 0 and edited whenever needed throughout the campaign. The sheet will be transposed into our Discord server as well, for ease of access during games. Within Discord and in game, I encourage open communication. You can reach out whenever needed for yours or someone else’s safety. During the game, I am comfortable being approached with problems or concerns, and open to honest feedback and accountability. I am not perfect, and always learning. The Discord will also feature a Stars and Wishes channel where, at the end of each game, we will share desires, things we enjoyed about the games, and moments that really stuck out to us. This will also be discussed in Session 0 to aid me in planning for a game you all enjoy. Any questions can be brought to me on Discord or on Start Playing.
