About the adventure

Join me, Sillion L, in exploring the wide world of TTRPGs! You're welcome to use this session to toss any game at me (message me before or after booking about it and we'll get it squared away!) I have a wide-ranging experience ranging from the crunchiest of tactical games to the fluffiest and most bizarre of narrative a poetic games. I can find a love for anything with the right table, and if you have a spark of passion for a book, let me help you kindle it. I can use a variety of VTTs, but use a personal handful of solutions when it comes to most indie systems that include Miro, Google Slides, and shared character keepers via Google Sheets! I'm a narrative focused GM with a background in performance, AP, and design who's worked with the folks at Rowan, Rook & Decard, MythWorks, and Arc Dreams at a professional capacity on the convention circuit. I love TTRPGs more than anything, and would love to use this opportunity to introduce folks to the games they can't seem to wrangle the group for. Logistically, first come - first serve. My first booking player has the say on the system, and future booking players will be contacted with the system if they are past the first seat. Expect to join an exciting and interesting adventure even if you can't use the session to play your pick - I encourage you to come back and book first for another! I can work fast, but would prefer to at least have a day of preparation with a system, unless I have previous experience in which case you're in the clear there as far as timing goes. And as well I won't let a party flounder and look to you to guide every story if that isn't a playstyle you're comfortable with. I'm here to meet you in the middle and help explore TTRPGs by giving them their best showing, I won't do that by forcing you to become an Actual Play performer. I only ask players are committed to the story and to each other, and I assure you we can have a lovely time with anything. Games I would be excited to play: The Silt Verses TTRPG, Public Access, Tales From the Loop/Flood, Vaesen, FIST, Lancer, Band of Blades, Uknown Armies, Wanderhome, Under Hollow Hills, Spire and Heart

Additional Details

How to prepare

Read as much of the chosen game as possible, and I will assist in this by clarifying to players what information is necessary and what can be skimmed over.

What I provide

I will prepare a Discord server, VTT tools, and required materials for play including digital character sheets and whatever other materials are required for play (this includes systems for tokens, alternative methods of resolution and any other quibble added by a system.)

Gameplay details

Entirely up to the table, save for a few constants: I will be using the X-Card, Open Door policy, biobreaks and a general enforcement of respect without question.

Content warnings

(none)

Safety tools used

Breaks
Lines and Veils
Open Door
X, N, and O Cards

How will character creation work

I will assist players at the table in character creation in a con style, especially within our time constraints. We won't delve into the entirety of a game's mechanics, only what's needed for the session we will be playing. I won't reduce or misrepresent a game, but I don't want players to feel overwhelmed by learning.

Players can expect

• Find a game to join solo or search for a professional game master for you and your friends/coworkers/family.
• Book your session and wait for the Game Master to approve you.
• If you don't have a blast with your first game, your next game is on us.
