Model email for GCOG Players
This is a confirmation email: please reply to this email to indicate you'll be able to make the session.
Hello-- we're about a week out from our session of Hearts of Wulin: Wedding of Storm and Silence on Friday, October 15th at 1400 Eastern US time.
If it turns out you can't make it, please drop asap from the event so we can bring up folks from the Wait List.
Game Premise:
We will be playing Hearts of Wulin, with all of our characters attending an important wedding between two factions, but matters of love and vengeance will complicate things. This is a PbtA game, but knowledge of the rules is not required. We will go through everything you need to know. This game is in the vein of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon and The Untamed, but knowing the genre isn't necessary.
Technology & Set Up:
We will be playing over Zoom. The Zoom invite will be sent out 15 minutes before the session. I will also be posting that in the GCOG Discord (link at the bottom), so you can check in there as well at that time. I would like to record for later posting, but will check in at the beginning and end of the session to get content for that.
The character keeper for this game can be found here: INSERT LINK HERE
Feel free to look through and see if any of the playbooks appeal to you. More than one player may take the same playbook, so long as both agree and make different picks for abilities.
The session will start with character creation entanglement building. Entanglements are relations you have with another person which are complicated by a third person. So think love triangles. You will have a Romantic and a General Entanglement. You will need to have a PC involved in at least one of those entanglements. The keeper has example entanglements. I also have a tab of NPCs with names and images which you can pick to add into your entanglements.
I expect we'll do character creation for the first 60-90 minutes, take a break, and then play with at least one more break. We will end partway through that last hour so everyone can do Epilogues for their characters and give any Stars & Wishes they want.
For safety tools, we will be using Lines & Veils, the X-Card, and an Open Door policy. We will go over all of these at the table, but in particular, the Open Door policy means that we understand that life happens. If you are unable to make it to this game, please let me know as soon as you can, so that we can try to get another player into the spot.
To manage the event, offer a helpdesk, and let folks chat throughout the con, we have a dedicated Discord. It will also be used for mustering for events. You will find an invite on the resource page below.
