About the adventure
Welcome, Crawler! Have you ever wondered what would happen if you got a chance to go into the World Dungeon? Have you wanted to play from the moment of collapse, entering the world dungeon? Exploring the world, seeing what the unhinged AI ends up fetishizing, picking you own skills, abilities...and sticking it to the cheesesticks? Do you want to bring about a revolution? Curate a dedicated posse of fans who help facilitate your plans out of dungeon? Perhaps you just want to survive long enough to play on the hunting grounds. Perhaps you want to go out in a blaze of glory to save your fellow crawlers? This will be a collaborative game play of the DCC TTRPG - like in all my games, this will be a cozy table, but the material will be more in line with the DCC world you know and love, with my own dash of whimsy thrown in. Your gameplay will be guided by the choices made at the table and your reaction to them, in addition to the game and environment itself. This means your backstory, your choices, the story arcs you find interesting, will guide the gameplay...as will a chaotic AI, this is the World Dungeon, after all. This includes how long you play - you can stick around till the brutal end, you can make it to a safe room and leave, you can head to the third floor on your own...or stick it to the cheesesticks as long as you can. The DCC RPG is a great TTRPG, with plenty of room for homebrewing, so if you have already read the materials, or have some fun ideas you want to bring to life - message me! Or join and we will figure it out anyways - I love Cozy, but my first love will always be HOMEBREW. Let's make the experience everything we are hoping for, the world of DCC already lends itself to the experience. If you are an enthusiastic lover of this series, and want to enjoy the fun, the emotions, the chaos, in a safe, cozy, inclusive way - this is the table for you.

About me
Hello! I love D&D (and other assorted TTRPGs) - and I love to build worlds. I believe in the simple fact that this is a game, and we are meant to have fun - my first goal is always ensuring we are all having fun. In the last couple of years I have realized TTRPGs are more fun when I run the games I enjoy, and now, I am glad to say I am open for GMing for strangers (who will soon become friends!) on the internet who enjoy similar game play style and games. For game play style - I believe in collaborative, enjoyable storytelling with compatible personalities. "Rule of Cool" with roleplay and whimsy is my style. I'm autistic, if I don't know a rule, I DO know how to look it up, or get clarification on it, but I also know how to have fun and wing it in a way that makes us all have fun. I am not a great DM for RAW lawyer Murder-Hobos, nor do I pretend to be - but if cozy, whimsical, fun and sometimes chaotic gameplay sounds fun? Then let's play some freaking TTRPGs! Games are played in Discord and Owlbear Rodeo with custom maps and tokens made from character art.

Creating your character
This is a new system we are all learning together, as such, your welcome survey will ask how you best learn, and we will work to ensure you have the information you need. Typically, this means i provide the crucial information for you to review, along with a few questions for you to answer about your character, and then we can either meet up one on one, or you can message me for any questions you may have - we will finalize/roll characters during session 0, but i am more than willing to help you go over basics to get started ahead of time. For anyone looking to homebrew some options in character creation, i encourage it, just let me know what you are thinking, since this is a new game. Remember - story first, minmaxing never. Anyone can build the strongest character ever - but this table will be prioritizing the story the characters are telling, not who can make the beefiest built.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need to have Discord downloaded, which is how we will communicate pregame. I suggest a decent microphone and a camera - the camera is not recorded, but it does help give me visual cues as we play. If you cannot use a camera, that's fine, but a microphone and Discord will be needed. Owlbear, the Virtual Table Top we will use, is easy to use, and we will go over it during session zero - all you have to do is a click a link i provide. :-)
What Abbi-Gm brings to the table
I am an inventive and whimsical GM who is already often compared to the goofier sides of the AI. I bring this energy, and a high level of creative skill and dedication to improv. I love a goofy bit, and also bring an eager and excited attitude to homebrew - if you have read the DCC materials, you may already wish to homebrew some stuff ... if homebrewing is your desire, this just may be the table for you. Most of my games are cozy, but *all* all my tables are cozy - this means that while the content may not always be as cozy and relaxing as in Cozy Cove games, the tables I run will always be inclusive, welcoming, kind, and probably pretty freaking gay, in the very best way. I make custom maps, do goofy voices, and all too often, show up with weird puppets. I rule of cool everything, and have a "yes, and" attitude - this is a game, the goal is fun. So let's play!
Homebrew rules
This is a new system, but i know we will, as a group, opt to homebrew some stuff - off the bad, i am willing to explore combining backgrounds for skills - but as with *any* game i run, the reason should not be to min max - but to instead tell the story of your character. We may be in the World Dungeon but the viewers demand a good narrative!

Safety
How Abbi-Gm creates a safe table
Game safety begins long before the game - i send a safety and boundaries survey, as well as a Google form with questions about you, your game desires, etc. We will have private conversations for any things you wish to bring up or avoid ahead of time, and during session 0, we will go over any hard limits etc - in an anonymous way so no one feels on the spot. In addition to this communication ahead of the game, and a session 0 where we go over limits, safety tools, game play etc, we will also have a few tools for use during the game, including XNO, which can be delivered messaged, video, or audio, aftercare where needed, and breaks in game play during the session (15 minutes every 1.5 hours or so). I also encourage Stars and Wishes, and will do my best to honor them within reason. I also have a firm open door policy, you are welcome to skip a session, or drop, if you no longer have time, and if you wish to come back, we will make it work. The goal is to have fun, if a game is too much, or if you need a break, or take vacation, the game shouldn't be in the way of that. This is especially helpful, since we don't always know how long a collaborative campaign will last - an open door policy for players to come and go is helpful - just give me a heads up so i can make you have a cool narrative last session. :-)
