Happenings in Christmas Village Days 1 & 2 #HiCV
A 25 day community collaboration of magical holiday joy for queer gamers
HiCV will be fully released on a Christmas Day, Sunday December 25th, as an online zine filled with content for games like Dungeon World and Threadbare. During Christmas weekend I will be running sessions using its content and I welcome anyone & everyone to participate!
The roleplaying community is fantastic and supportive. We have an opportunity to shine and bring some of that goodness to our fellow gamers who are queer and may not have high hopes for an enjoyable Christmas this year. As you may or may not know, being queer around the holidays can be a rough experience, as many queer folks do not have relationships with their families. The reality for a lot of queer people is that if they do not have holiday plans with friends, they do not have holiday plans. Let’s fill any voids out there with some roleplaying magic! The aim is to provide content for a light, warm, playful experience. As a note, queer people don’t necessarily want play that is heavy with queer issues.
If you have any questions, please ask.
HOW WILL COLLABORATION WORK?
Each day I will post an element (see below), simply to help give inspiration. These are not binding; please submit what you want. There will be several forms for submitting different plug-and-play content such as impressions, set piece moves, compendium classes, hirelings/followers, and monsters/enemies. You can also post contributions in the comments. Please assume I will be curating, editing and cutting content, although I aim to be as inclusive as possible.
ELEMENTS OF CHRISTMAS VILLAGE
The first day of Christmas gave: SNOW (technically I missed this by a day… please use it!)
The second day of Christmas gave: BELLS
Submit an impression – An impression is a short colorful detail. Think: senses, cultural indicators, background going-ons. https://goo.gl/forms/wOYPUgEFhxXUdvFq1
Submit a set piece – A set piece is a trap, obstacle or machination within a scene. https://goo.gl/forms/lJ6srt6J5ZSboGyN2
Submit a microfront – A microfront is a present danger that can escalate within a single scene or session. https://goo.gl/forms/inAMjJ5sPBMaiL6J2
Submit a compendium class – A compendium class is a collection of moves a player gains access to after something special happens to them. After taking the first move, they may take the other moves as improvements. https://goo.gl/forms/bf7vNHzqI4CW59W53
Submit an ally/hireling/follower – These characters will help the player, upon a condition, a favor or simple payment. https://goo.gl/forms/vPzXz7RFIhKvExDj1
Submit an item – Items can be any object, but if you submit one it should be something special or magical. https://goo.gl/forms/lOjgU1DcY9g1M6J33
Submit a monster/enemy – Monsters and enemies are NPC adversaries usually facing the players as an immediate danger. https://goo.gl/forms/aWGPZpOX0g7p6xzM2
