Mostly actual play from online tabletop games, played on Roll20. Also random other stuff.

Me and the kids sit down to talk about the One-Armed Scissor "one-shot" - kind of a celebration/wake/post mortem. Overall Impression: The one-shot served as an enticing introduction to Wildsea's setting and mechanics. While certain areas, like travel and character origin options, left players desiring more, the unique world, engaging whisper mechanics, and collaborative ship-building process were significant highlights. In summary - we had a good time, the game is cool, we want to play some more (even Kaylee), and we don't super-enjoy canned one-shot scenarios. 2024 08 07
Our heroes find the surviving crew of the One Armed Scissor and safely escape the Manor. Yup. Totally safe. No problem. 2024 07 29 #wildsea #ttrpg #actualplay This session focuses on the players' daring escape from a collapsing library hanging precariously over the Wildsea. The escape is complicated by a powerful Whisper unleashed by Saturniidae, which causes the library to become entangled in rapidly growing thorny vines. Key Events Prepping for Trouble: The crew utilize their skills to recover resources and prepare for the impending attack by pinwolves. Saturniidae uses a Whisper to try to protect the sole surviving member of the One-Armed Scissor, but accidentally summons a spectral force that injures the party. Thorny Escape: Saturniidae's shouted Whisper, "Secrets Wrapped in Thorns," creates a whirlwind of paper that transforms into a rapidly growing cocoon of thorny brambles. The cocoon expands, forcing the pinwolves back and pushing the library away from the tallshank tree it was anchored to. Descent into Chaos: The library begins to collapse, forcing the players to navigate a chaotic environment filled with falling debris, thorny vines, and oozing crezzerin. Charybdis utilizes his unique skills and knowledge of plants to carefully extract Saturniidae from the thorny cocoon. Leaps of Faith: Cory leaps from the collapsing library, embedding her spear into the tallshank tree and clinging for dear life. Charybdis uses his wavewalk skill to swing through a window and escape, while Saturniidae glides down to the Queen Crab using her elegant wings. A Sinking Feeling: The library crashes into the edge of the rift, causing the nearby One Armed Scissor to tip and sink. The sinking ship evokes a sense of dread and PTSD in Charybdis, who witnesses a vision of his past death. Return to Three Masks: The players successfully return to Three Masks, albeit injured and emotionally drained. They share their harrowing tale, warning others of the dangers that now infest the library and the surrounding area. Character Highlights Cory: Demonstrates agility and resourcefulness, using her spear to escape the collapsing library. Charybdis: Utilizes his expertise in plants and his unique abilities to navigate the dangerous environment and save Saturniidae. Saturniidae: Unintentionally unleashes chaos with her Whisper, but ultimately aids in the party's escape through her quick thinking, and suffers injuries and the effects of crezzerin poisoning. Lingering Questions What will become of the library now that it is infested with creatures and a Librico Ray? Will the players attempt to retrieve more books or salvage anything from the wreckage? How will the loss of the library affect the community of Three Masks? What is the significance of the One Arm Scissor sinking into the rift?
The crew climbs up to the Hanging Manor and "gets rizzed by a Rift." (I don't know what that means, but the kids assure me it's hilarious and will never sound like hopelessly dated slang.) 2024 07 27 #wildsea #ttrpg #actualplay
The crew explores the moored and apparently abandoned One-armed Scissor, before proceeding to the Hanging Manor. 2024 07 15 Art of the One-Armed Scissor by Narshero @ the Wildsea Discord. #wildsea #ttrpg #actualplay
Our crew of wildsailors get closer to the Hanging Manor, but stop for the night at A Grove of Twisted Trees. This is the session where Whispers finally CLICKED for everyone, and it's pretty awesome. #wildsea #ttrpg #actualplay
Keirnan couldn't make the Masks game, so we pivoted and played For the Queen, with the four of us. In for the Queen, the players are creating a fictional story about the people forced to travel with a powerful queen to a distant kingdom. The players take turns drawing cards and answering questions about their characters, their relationships, and their motivations. Through the often dark humor of the game, we manage to weave a story of intrigue, power, and betrayal. 2024 06 26 #forthequeen #ttrpg #actualplay
2024 07 04 We lost the audio for Session one! To recap: We when last left our heroes, they had arrived in the small settlement of Three Masks, which it quite obsessed with recovering books and other written material from ruins and the waves of the Wildsea. The residents are quite upset about the missing One-Armed Scissor, a library ship that's several weeks overdue for a visit and delivery. Petrichor hit up an old boyfriend for information, Charybdis traded words with the tzelicrae smuggler who traded him his freedom, and Saturnidae met with an old cartographic mentor to try to find out where the Scissor might have gone... And now it's session two, and the crew is ready to act on what they've learned. Art of Three Masks spit by Narshero @ the Wildsea Discord. #wildsea #ttrpg #actualplay

"The worst so far" compared to... What? ALL snowf "The worst so far" compared to... What? ALL snowfall ever? If so, how will it be the worst? Will it do murder? You can't be using it to say "the worst so far, this season" because it has literally snowed TWO DAYS so far, and that kind of headline would be SILLY.
