Mythomorphosis
Mythomorphosis
1 session
Spots open
<t:1759428000:f> In Mythomorphosis, 1-4 players will explore the relationship between a society’s history and one of its dominant cultural stories as they create and change a myth over the course of generations. You’ll be telling—and tweaking—this story collaboratively, embodying different characters as necessary if you choose to. There is no Game Master, and no one has more ownership over the story than anyone else. This is for a one shot of Mythomorphosis: Second Edition by Gordie Murphy, a GM-less mythmaking tabletop roleplaying game about how myths and legends change over generations. You can see the Kickstarter campaign here for reference: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gordiemurphy/apotheosis-0/description I plan to record the session but will confirm upload at the end. We will use Zoom for our session. I’ll email all players about a week before with the necessary links. The session will run up to three hours. The Open Hearth Code of Conduct will be in play and we will use Lines & Veils and the X-Card for safety tools. If you sign up and your availability changes, please remember to drop from the site and give me a heads up.

World Wide Wrestling
1 session
Spots open
For One Night Only, the dead shall return to take what is theirs- the Salem Slammer Heavyweight Championship Belt (sponsored by Dunkin Donuts). Ancient grudges shall be renewed! Wrestlers will rise from retirem... err, the grave! Who will claim the eternal glory, and who will be sent back to the fiery depths of Hell? Find out on Saturday, Saturday, Saturday! (World Wide Wrestling is an award-winning game of professional wrestling action enables you to create your own professional wrestling franchise through play, showcasing satisfying and surprising storylines. It’s about feuds, championships, betrayal, and righteous victory. It’s about the clash of good and evil on the grandest stage. It’s about whether you’ve got what it takes. And, in the end, it’s about what the audience thinks of your efforts. You do not have to know anything about wrestling in order to play and enjoy this game)

WELCOME TO SHARED HEARTH
The Open Hearth is proud to present a free weekend of open online gaming a few times a year. All events are completely free. Anyone can play—you don’t have to be a current community member.
Sign ups will open September 16 at Noon US Eastern. <t:1758038400:f>
All events will follow the Community Code of Conduct and all GMs will be expected to explain and use safety tools of some kind (Lines & Veils, X-Card, etc). We expect players and GMs to respect those rules and systems to help ensure our event is fun and comfortable for all participants. We will also have channels on our Discord server to contact in the event of issues with play during the event.
Sessions run Thursday October 2, 2025 through Sunday October 5, 2025
LOOKING FOR GAME FACILITATORS
If you're set up as a game creator in our community, we'd love to have you run sessions for Shared Hearth: one-shots, two-shots, seminars, long-cons, workshops, whatever. Just create your game as normal, but choose "Shared Hearth 2025" from the event dropdown. If you're not set up as a creator, but have played with us a couple of times, you can ask on the Discord and we'll see about getting you set up.
TIME SLOTS
To help keep things organized, we have several hard break times. We ask that any games you run don't overlap with these times. Basically there's a four hour block and then a one hour break block. Those break times are:
0800-0900 US Eastern <t:1759406400:t> to <t:1759410000:t>
