Venture

Venture by Riley Rethal is a Belonging Outside Belonging game of introspective heroic fantasy. Think Dungeon World, but GM-less gameplay (i.e., we're all in a traditional adventuring party with wizards, fighters, clerics, rogues, etc., but the focus is entirely on how our relationships with each other as well as our understanding of ourselves change as we trek through an adventure.)

Venture gives us magic-filled forests and looming castles, champions in shining armor and vagabonds with dazzling charm, markets of ill-repute and duplicitous authorities, and uncaring gods high above always asking, “What do you do next?”

In Venture, we will play as a group of adventurers traveling through a fantasy world, making their way across the terrain while learning about themselves and each other. They will meet townspeople with storied cultures, criminals with shady agendas, mages with esoteric power, and a strange darkness encroaching on the horizon.

The game will run for four hours with breaks as needed. Since this is a GM-less game, up to five players may play including myself.

Safety tools (X-Card, Lines & Veils) will be used. The Open Hearth Code of Conduct (https://openhearthgaming.com/code-of-conduct) will be observed.

Players will be contacted via email approximately a week prior to the game to confirm their attendance. A Zoom link will be emailed to players 10-15 minutes prior to the game's start time.
