A humid, Mid-Atlantic state in the United States with no sign of natural disasters for the past lucky century. You lived a quiet life. Unassuming, but different than most. You stood out like ladybugs amongst other camouflaging insects. A warning sign to others. Attractive to all the wrong people. There was a clearing in the Quartet Forests, where strange natural formations had always spoken to you. Rotted trees, fallen in interesting shapes. Pebbles formed into circles. Salty crystals. An iron smell. One day, your curiosity was punished. The ground opened up beneath you.

Barreling through the ocean, scorching through the fire, burrowing alive in the dirt, and throwing around in the air—your body ripped apart into molecules; energy. Sentience. Orgasm. Electricity. Pain. Alice in Wonderland always depicted falling, visionless, so gracefully; so easily. You were ｆｕｃｋｉｎｇ░ｒｉｐｐｅｄ░ａｐａｒｔ. 𝘏𝘌𝘓𝘓-𝘍𝘜𝘊𝘒𝘌𝘋-𝘌𝘊𝘖𝘕𝘖𝘔𝘠 𝘊𝘙𝘐𝘚𝘐𝘚 𝘐𝘋𝘌𝘕𝘛𝘐𝘛𝘠 Welcome to Arcadia. The Faerie Realm. You were a captive. You were handheld through a nightmare or a dream. Your body was easily malleable from the planar divide. You were someone’s new toy. Whose? Why? Where? You don’t remember all of it. Your body is still changed. You are different. No longer unassuming. You desire. You rage. You fear. You sorrow. More primally and viscerally than you ever have before. You've crested into a beautiful, mutant flower. 𝘞𝘌𝘓𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘌 𝘛𝘖 𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘓𝘐𝘛𝘠, 𝘞𝘈𝘒𝘌 𝘜𝘗 𝘈𝘕𝘋 𝘙𝘌𝘑𝘖𝘐𝘊𝘌 𝘞𝘌𝘓𝘊𝘖𝘔𝘌 𝘛𝘖 𝘙𝘌𝘈𝘓𝘐𝘛𝘠, 𝘠𝘖𝘜'𝘝𝘌 𝘔𝘈𝘋𝘌 𝘛𝘏𝘌 𝘙𝘐𝘎𝘏𝘛 𝘊𝘏𝘖𝘐𝘊𝘌 Welcome back to Sonder, population 3,16█.

Additional Details

How to prepare

A webcam/video is not mandatory but I will always be using my video for your immersive experience. Please have a mic and a generally quiet background during sessions. We will be reading the rules together during Session 0! I recommend having some familiarity with the Changeling: the Lost 2e system, even just some of the lore. I realize it's an old edition and confusing to navigate, so there's no pressure! I just want your enthusiasm and a love of some fucked up fairies.

What I provide

I will be bringing source materials, the Discord/Google Meets room, and the musical atmosphere.

Gameplay details

I will have a Lines & Veils document for all of us to fill out anonymously during Session 0. I will specify if I need people to give me a physical or verbal indication if everyone is ready to proceed. I make strong distinctions between visual, verbal, and written content warnings. If anyone needs captions to lip-read along we will use Google Meets. If there is no preference, we will use Discord for audio (video optional). The aftercare and decompression afterward can vary from talking about what everyone enjoyed about each other's playstyles or performances, hanging out until the allotted time, or asking each other questions.

How will character creation work

We'll all start with standard zero experience. I will provide character sheets on Google Sheets and a few Milanote guides about character creation during our session 0. We'll create the characters and dynamics together! There's only a handful of playbooks in CtL 2e and I would prefer if there were no doubles in such a small dynamic.

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.
