This is a weekly-ish series of one-shots of Swords Without Master, you may sign up for any (or all) individual sessions, but note different days/times. If you can't make these but want to play, contact AaronF and we'll make a session happen.

Come seek high adventure in a world of swords and sorcery! Show us how you paint a vivid fantasy world and achieve mighty feats of wits and brawn! Plunge into glum depths and soar to jovial heights!

Concept: A collaborative fiction-writing system where the challenge comes from describing and creating a short story on the fly. The dice tell you only the tone of narration...until they turn against you with a twist! No experience or familiarity with genre needed. I may bring some seeds of inspiration in the form of titles or images, but the characters and content will be up to the players. Certain elements may carry over to the next tale, but anyone may drop in without previous knowledge.

Aim: We'll tell a complete short story in 4 hours or less. You may bring a previously-created Rogue to each session if you've played before. Otherwise we'll create characters together before starting our tale. We'll play over the Open Hearth Discord with voice, video optional. We'll use a Google Sheet as a character keeper and shared notes.

Tone: Generally light adventure fantasy, although it can range from gritty to philosophical to goofy, depending on what the players bring out. Expect some descriptions of violence and injury (not too gory) in keeping with adventure fantasy.

Safety and content: The Open Hearth Community Code of Conduct is in effect. We'll use Lines and Veils at the top, the X-card throughout, and the Open Door policy.
