ARIUM TTRPG SIGN-UPS
Jun. 14th, 2023 08:53 pmWHAT IS ARIUM?
• In Arium, everyone suggests elements/aesthetics/aspects/things they want to see—and narrow down favorites by voting. The GM then takes these chosen things and melds them into a setting/plot/story/world for everyone to engage with, while ensuring it doesn't feel like someone's crowded kitchen sink in the process.
• Though the system can take a bit of getting used to, it's ultimately pretty simple! There's 4 stats, it utilizes 2D6, encourages skill and item creation, and all characters have abilities, flaws, etc to consider. Letting your imagination and creativity flow is crucial, as this is a very "live your best life" kind of game.
CAN YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF A TTRPG CREATED WITH ARIUM?
There's three I could share, but for simplicity's sake I'll link info on just one:
• Gravesong Trello board (ie where we made the lists and voted on them)
• Gravesong setting info document
• Gravesong player characters
• Gravesong NPCs
ANYTHING ELSE I SHOULD KNOW?
• The campaign would last about half a year, running no later than January 2024.
• I'll be taking on no more than 4 players, because I know my limits when it comes to giving players involvement and attention.
• Sessions would take place once a week and generally last 2-3 hours, dependent on everyone's energy levels.
TO SIGN UP:
Comment to this post with the below! I'll be looking at who I can group up the best when it comes to availability and whatnot. I'll try to hit people up as soon as this weekend with more information.
Comments are screened—not that you have to act private about your sign-up either, it's just the principle of screening them.
