How to prepare
I plan to run this game on Roll20, so players should have an account. We will be using Discord for voice chat so it is required that players have a mic. Players do not need prior experience or knowledge of the rules or RPGs. Everything needed will be provided. I will also provide a link to the official FREE Index Card RPG Quickstart guide. - Join game discord and have working mic - Make account on Roll20 - Join game on roll20 (link in discord) - Download and read up on rules (optional)
What I provide
We are playing online, so I will provide digital game components like maps, tokens, etc. If players wish, they can provide an image for me to use for their character portrait and character token. If a player doesn't provide this, I can provide one.
Gameplay details
If for any reason a player needs to step away or remove themselves, we will be utilizing the safety measures of Open Door and X, N, & O Cards. Open Door is simply to empower the player to step away and rejoin (or leave if necessary) whenever they need to for any reason, no questions asked. X, N, & O Cards function as an indicators to me (the GM) when subject matter arises which causes discomfort to the point it disrupts your experience, you can utilized X, N, & O in the following ways: X: Place an X in the chat to let me know you are uncomfortable with the current content, often resulting in a change, rewind, or skip of the aforementioned content. N: Placing an N in the chat lets me know that you feel the content is heading towards an X card, often resulting in a change or a “fade to back”. O: An O in the chat is a check-in card, where I will stop and check with the entire group to ensure that everyone is comfortable continuing with the content.
