So, last night I ran for the first time #TinyD6 #ttrpg for a group of my friends, set in a pulp/steampunk lost world setting I call #Tektoa.
Players played the crew and the passengers aboard dirigible "Gigant", flying over dinosaur-infested jungle to urgently bring medicines to a distant mining community.
They were attacked by a trio of diablodactyls, but defeated them fairly easy. 1/2
It was a bit chaotic. There was six of us playing online on Discord. My GM skills were quite rusty as I haven't ran anything for over a year. Finally, as simple as TinyD6 system is, it is still a new game - both for me and my players.
Hopefully, next time will be better as I prepare more material and check some rules in advance.
Last night I ran my second game of #TinyD6 #ttrpg set in my homebrew settimng called #Tektoa.
Wouldn't you know: when I actually came prepared for the game, the session went much more smoothly.
It's not even that I got a chance to do anything particularly complex or innovative, but the mere feeling of being ready helped me remain calm and focused during the session. 1/?
As for the game, players were travelling above the #Tektoa jungle in their dirigible carrying medicines for sick miners in a faraway community. They began the session by landing in a border fort to spend the night.
What began as a mere improvisation turned into a nice little roleplaying encounter combined with a skill challenge. 2/?
The fort guards a river - an important travel route for transporting ore from the aforementioned mining community.
The natives have been attacking and burning down river boats. So, commander wanted to enlist PCs and their dirigible to retaliate by bombing the camp of native warriors. 3/? #Tektoa
However, PCs got a chance to talk to a captured native warrior - a lizard-man. He says that settlers have been encroaching on native lands for years dsespite earlier promises to stay way. So, the tribes have had enough.
And now PCs have to decide: will they help the commander, the natives, both, or none? 4/? #Tektoa
They came up with an elaborate plan to free the lizard-man warrior.
First, party's wilderness expert gathered some narcotic berries and mixed them with wine.
Then party's missionary PC held a special evening mass in the fort to bless the upcoming attack. She used drugged Eucharist wine to disable assembled soldiers.
The plan was also to use dirigible to pry away the bars from the prison cell window. Howerer, then PC sailor simply got the prison guard drunk and took his keys. 5/? #Tektoa
The session ended with the PCs and the lizard man quietly leaving the fort with the dirigible's engines turned off, releasing ballast and using the wind to fly away into the night.
Oh, and since it took them a day to prepare this plan, they stalled for time by allowing the commander to load the dirigible with improvised bombs in preparation for the retaliation mission. So now they have explosives on board as well. Fun times!
Anyway, my players are the best.
