About the adventure
You are the newest resident of the picturesque seaside village of Mayberry Cove. Get to know the villagers while picking up odd-jobs, exploring local mysteries and building your skills. This game is roleplay heavy and blends 5e mechanics with cozy-game mechanics like relationship and skill progressions. While you can level your character the bulk of progression will come from the actions you choose to take in town. Each day has three phases with one primary action/location per phase. There is a map with locations you can choose from, with each choice resulting in stat changes, resource acquisition/loss and/or opportunities for social interaction. ☀️Daytime- Choose how you will spend your day. Working or fulfilling quests are popular options. 🌙 Evening- Go shopping, practice your skills, hang at the tavern, or spend some time with a villager. 💤 Bedtime- you must figure out where to spend the night. To do this comfortably takes resources but is worth it in the long run.

About me
If you love slowing down and really getting into character, my games just may be for you. I run immersive, roleplay heavy games that prioritize player creativity and comfort. I strive to create a narrative that is satisfying for everyone involved and love when players bring their ideas to the table. I’ve been GMing for 6 years, my favorite systems being D&D 5e, Monster of the Week, Fate, and Epyllion. I also love to do little homebrew projects, like my dating sim which combines 5e with mechanics that track relationship and career progression. Recently I’ve been specializing in solo-play play-by-post games with a romantic leaning. I love them because they give me a chance to go deep and really explore what the player is most interested in in their character and the world in which we are playing.

Creating your character
I can add you to the campaign on D&D Beyond or we can do a simplified character creation process via discord. A lot of what comes with a full character is not necessarily useful within the cozy-gaming world but you are welcome to have one. One advantage of the simplified process is that it allows for a lot of flexibility in the flavor of the character and can include races and background not detailed in 5e.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a discord, and if you wish to make your character on D&D beyond you will need an account on there as well. It is also helpful to think about what sort of character you would like to play. Backstory is important because it gives you something to connect with the villagers about.

Homebrew rules
There are quite a few homebrew rules related to the cozy-gaming mechanics. This includes the three phases per day, and progression tracking for NPCs, Jobs/Locations, and certain skills. As you progress along the tracks you will earn special features that will help you interact better where those tracks are concerned, as well as reaching higher levels of wages and unlocking new options for NPC interactions. Additionally we use: -Flanking -Bonus action to drink a potion, action to administer one -Enhanced nat 20s -Crit Damage= max dice + rolled dice + modifiers

Safety
How AspenRPG creates a safe table
-Consent in Gaming Survey -Conversation about expectations and boundaries -Check-ins -Discord X card sticker and pause sticker -Additional survey for those who wish spicy roleplay to be a part of the game There are a lot of NPCs in this game with a lot going on in their backstories. It's difficult to pinpoint what might come up without knowing how the game will go, but if you tell me what you want avoided I will make sure it does not occur.
