In case you're unfamiliar with the game, here's the blurb from itch.io:
The concept of an open table is basically this: Instead of a regular group of players which meets each week, the GM sends an open invitation to everyone participating or interested in the campaign. The campaign is structured to make new players joining sessions or old players skipping sessions seamless. It can run for whatever group of players joins for a given session.Bastion - The Electric Hub of Mankind
The only city that matters. Too big to fall, too complicated to function. A mess of alleyways, legalese and crowds. Aliens, Mockeries and People always in your way and your business.
Everybody’s here.
Everything is here.
In Deep Country, the land stretches forever. The long shadow of our embarrassing past. Villages rot away, trees don’t bother to flower anymore, and the potato is eaten cold from the ground. Things were better before. Better before Bastion.
In the Underground are impossible tunnels beneath time and space. Devious machines release their creations into the corridors. All while the twisting network grows and touches everything. Connects everything. You can get anywhere, but there’s always a challenge.
You have a failed career and a colossal debt.
Treasure is your only option.
A spark of hope in Electric Bastionland.
I also very emphatically want to make the group "open" in another sense, in that the group is an open and welcoming space for all people, regardless of experience (or lack thereof) in roleplaying, background, gender, sexual orientation, age, etc. Whoever you are, you are explicitly invited to join this group. If you reading this know someone who might be interested in joining a session, they too are explicitly invited.
I haven't yet thoroughly considered the logistics of the group (I first want to see what kind of interested there is for an open table running EB), but here are my thoughts so far (these might change):
- Weekly or biweekly sessions
- Sessions have up to 6 players (the first 6 people to RSVP)
- The primary language is English, but "Denglish" (Deutsch+English) is perfectly fine
- The primary communication channel is Discord
- Once things are rolling, if a group wants to play a session outside of the regular time-slot, we could try to arrange something more flexibly
If this sounds interesting to you, please let me know and feel free to join the Discord.
