Sick, we’ll if ya’ll are cool with it I can get the server set up on Discord and we can all chat more about the game, plan and get introductions done there! For anyone that doesn’t know what Alice is Missing yet this is the jist. Alice is Missing is situational ttrpg that takes place over 90 minutes. It is all done in one uninterrupted sitting, with a short session zero and a small cool down putting the estimated playtime around 120 minutes. It follows a group of teens in a small town as they (via text) try to uncover what happened to their missing friend: Alice. It can be intense experience as there can be themes of loss, helplessness, and death, and is a unique experience in that it is played in total silence. We will do a small session 0 just before the game begins where we will talk about the themes, lines and veils, and how the game is played. While there is an element of character creation the game is centred around predetermined characters so it’s unlike a lot of ttrpgs where you will be making characters from scratch. You get to decide your characters appearance, personality, and tone but at the start of the game we will select the pre-determined title you fall under (the brother, the ex, the best friend, etc.) and while no two games of AiM are alike the plot is determined by cards. I’ve ran the game half a dozen times as the mod. The mods role is to make sure that every 10 minutes a card is flipped that determines the next piece of evidence that shows up, keep the game on track, and to keep an eye out for any lines/veils that might get crossed. The mod does play a character as well, usually the long lost friend, who will reveal to all the other players that Alice is missing. The last piece of info I have to share is that while the game is done completely in silence and via text there is a portion of the game done with voicemails. You don’t actually share phone numbers but players have to be comfortable recording a voice-message to Alice during our session 0 before the game starts (the content of which is determined on the day of play). I will do a proper run through of the game on the discord server but just so everyone who was previously unfamiliar with the game knows what to expect, I hope this helped. Would be happy to run the game for anyone interested, feel free to add me on kitkat#9435 And I can get the server together! Cheers ✨
