Werewolf Creek (Beginner/LGBTQ+ Friendly)

Creating your character

We will meet for Session Zero for character creation. We will also discuss Lines and Veils and get a vibe for the game.

Preparing for the session

Players should have a stable connection to the internet, as well as a Discord account and microphone. The Storyteller will be on camera, but cameras are not required for the players.

What The Humble Chris brings to the table

In terms of materials, I will provide the core rulebook, character sheets, and a dice bot for us to use in our excursions. As for myself, I bring twenty years of Storytelling and Game Mastering experience to the table. My focus as a Storyteller is to serve as your guide: to set the stage and lead you down the rabbit holes. The style I have honed is very player-forward: you are the ones commanding the action. There will be times when I ask how your character is feeling: to play Devil's Advocate and explore the thoughts and emotions behind your character's decisions and the anticipation they feel in the moment of the hunt. I am a big believer in the Rule of Cool: if there is something you want to attempt, and it sounds awesome (and plausible) enough, there is a very good chance that you can roll for it. And how those dice land, is how we play it out. My games are LGBTQIA+ friendly, and I foster a welcoming and inclusive environment where everyone should feel free to be themselves.

Homebrew rules

The only homebrew rule I employ is Achievements: If you do something awesome once per session, you will gain an extra Experience Point in the form of an Achievement declaring your job well done. Achievements are awarded through the completion of a task, making a particularly difficult roll, throwing your character out there, or doing something that just brings a smile to my face.

How The Humble Chris creates a safe table

Players will be provided a link to a Lines and Veils pdf, which is to be filled out and submitted prior to Session Zero. During Session Zero, the players and I will go over their established Lines and Veils, as well as discuss other subjects which may be taboo which weren't present on the sheet or were thought of later. During our sessions, we will take a break halfway through so that I may touch base with the players and make sure they are still comfortable and having fun. Whenever there is a heavy scene or someone asks for a scene to stop, we will also employ these breaks to make sure everyone is okay. Each session will also end with a brief discussion on what the players liked, how they feel the game is going, and any concerns they would like to address. My DMs will also be open for players to discuss their concerns in confidence. Over the course of play, players will be asked to submit their X, N and O's to me through DM to maintain their confidentiality.
