Shipwreckers

"Shipwreckers tells the story of one night in the lives of a crew of daring folks working the Cornish coast as shipwreckers in the late 1700s. It is a historical RPG oneshot about bravery, poverty, superstition, and a little-known moment in history.

Cornwall. Rugged coastlines of high cliffs and sheltered bays, flowers growing bright and wild on the headlands, small villages tucked in sheltered corners out of the wind and rain. 

People here are poor, scraping out a meagre living as farmers, fishers, or miners. Hard labour and long hours for uncertain profit, and there are mouths at home to feed. 

Small wonder, then, that they say that everyone in Cornwall from the oldest grandmother to the youngest child is part of the wrecking trade..."

In this session we will build our characters, crew and their bonds before taking on a dangerous wrecking expedition, trying to salvage what little there may be from tonight's shipwreck.

We will play under the Open Hearth Code of Conduct (https://openhearthgaming.com/code-of-conduct ) and will use the open door policy, the X card and lines and veils for safety. 

No experience necessary, rules will be taught. 

Breaks on the hour.

This game will not be recorded. 

We will use streamyard for audio/video and google docs for play materials. 

I will email players about a week in advance to confirm attendance.
