Changeling the Dreaming: Oakenridge

About the game:

  • This is a Changeling: The Dreaming 20th Anniversary game set in the Kingdom of Appalachia.
  • We have played a few sessions so far, but are still early enough in the Chronicle to introduce new players. Currently we have: A fencing Sidhe, a Lemur Pookah, a seelie Redcap, a brave Sluagh, and a plucky Selkie. But we aren't opposed to having more than one of the same kith; although I would prefer to limit the number of Sidhe we have.
  • The game will combine elements of Fantasy and Young Adult Horror. Inspirations include Stranger Things, Goosebumps, Are You Afraid of the Dark?, Shazam, Gravity Falls, and general urban fantasy works.
  • The game will probably be 30% adventure, 30% character drama, 30% mystery solving and 10% who-knows-what
  • The player characters will be Middle School/Junior Highschool age, and will be newer Changelings. The characters will be sworn into a Seelie Household, but any of the main Kiths, Seemings and Courts are welcome.
  • Characters will be going on epic quests against Evil, but we will also be exploring the character's mortal life and struggles against Banality.
  • This is a voice game, all players must have working microphones. We will use Discord for voice. No video will be used.
  • Sessions will generally last between 2.5 and 3.5 hours and will be played biweekly (1 week on, 1 week off)
  • The campaign will run as long as the players remain interested and I can come up with weird tales to subject you all to.
  • This is not a PvP game, everyone is expected to work together as a team... but that isn't to say there isn't room for disagreements and intercharacter drama.
  • Beginners are welcome! Most of the players are brand new to Changeling and so I'm willing to do some hand-holding.

Player Expectations

  • Roleplay: You will be expected to act in character, and describe/act your characters actions and emotions. There will be some social element to this game, so if you outright hate social roleplay this might not be your game. My hope is everyone RPs the hell out of their character!
  • RP Comes Before Social Dice Rolls: Also known as Roleplay before Rollplay.
  • Backstory: Every player has to fill out a character questionnaire that fleshes out their character. This becomes a "character bible" that's both an RP aid and helps me create plots and hooks for your character.
  • Game Balance: We have to work together to make sure your characters are strong and viable without being too stronk or hyper focused. This game isn't about getting the largest dice pool or seeing how many merits you can chain together.
  • Writing: In between sessions, there will be opportunities for writing in character journals or other prompts.
  • Off Topic chatter and banter at appropriate moments is fine! I do ask everyone keep meta knowledge and meta discussion to a minimum (Please no shouting 'Ohmygosh that's clearly a Dark Kin!' at the table plz)
  • Rules and Theme Lawyering None of that plz
  • Stay in Touch: Between sessions, I appreciate if everyone checks into the Discord once or twice just to let us know you're still alive. We get lonely and like it when people come talk to us :)
  • No murder hobos.

Current Houserules

  • Willpower: You are allowed to spend 1 willpower per turn.
  • Not every combat will be "initiative based"; there will be free-form or roll-lite combats as well

Above all else: I'm looking for players who like to roleplay and bring a good atmosphere to the table. My hope is that everyone playing will enjoy the game, enjoy their characters, and enjoy eachother's company :)
