Okay, so my group played #TheQuietYear yesterday. We did a little less than first half of the deck in three hours.
It was a lot of fun. Like a lot. We chose to make it about Mars-like planet settlement during terraformation. I was worried (I worry too much) of conflicting visions but we actually did really well. Emergent story of children yearning for the mines and then constructing exploding spears to hunt Dune-like sandworms was awesome.
It was a year of people discussing and arguing and disagreeing and leaving our community for dreams of a better place, and it was a year we gathered around the campfire to sing and dance and laugh and cry on each others' shoulders.
It was a quiet year, and then the Frost Shepherds arrived.
It was the year we cried when our bears got killed by the marauders and it was the year we took in the bear cubs into our camp to raise them along with our own.
It was the year of the bears - so many bears - terrorizing and mangling and killing the bravest of us and twarting any attempts at keeping them contained, and it was the year we used bear shit to fertilize our fields and bear fur to keep us warm and even tamed bears to fight the marauders.
It was the year we restored the old coal mine and reforged old weapons into farming tools, and it was the year we reforged these tools again into swords and knives to fend off the northern marauders pillaging our food supplies.
It was the year the self-proclaimed priest convinced us to restore the statue of the rainbow goddess and construct a temple in her honor, and it was the year the priest left our community and we repurposed the temple as a sleeping hall so our children wouldn't freeze in the cold winter nights.
It was a year of relative peace in our mountain valley, between the polluted river and the old battlefield full of debris and scrap metal.
It was the year young Yasmin inspired us all to clean up the river together so we could catch fish again, and it was the year she left us to go live with her love of the Mushroom people in the east.
Zero session last night and trying our hand at a multiverse jumping series of #ttrpg s. #SpeedRune remains as our rules-light origin game for this second try, and I pulled an enchanted defense scenario out of a D&D third post random tables book.
One of us is excited to create a pantheon from the runic powers and another is a first time player. Figured on meeting every couple of weeks and maybe #yazebasbedandbreakfast, #bladesinthdark, or #thequietyear are up next. #indieTTRPGs #indiettrpg
