Well, this is it! After months of humming and hawing over creating my own, hopefully, regular, blog here we are! At this point, the primary topic of the blog posts will be about my adventures in Tabletop Roleplaying, and whatever that may mean at the time of each post.
Who am I?
Let’s start with a little bit about who I am for those who may not be familiar with me.
My name is Charlotte, and I am a TTRPG’er!
During a busy 2019, I started off being a player for Matt Kay on Fear and Loathing in the Third horizon, a Coriolis Actual Play Podcast from Mud & Blood Podcast. From there I went over to streaming an actual play game on Encounter Roleplay where we played Symbaroum, which was GM’d by one of the hosts of Mud & Blood, Liam Stevens. That campaign was the first time I had the opportunity to play Symbaroum, but it will be one of my more memorable gaming experiences. If you’re interested in checking it out, here is the playlist on YouTube, Symbaroum Playlist. 14 episodes took us to the end of that campaign, and from there, we dove into Scum & Villainy, a Blades in the Dark game.
During the seasons where we switched to Scum & Villainy, I was also GM’ing a campaign of Conan, an age undreamed of! That was one of my first experiences being a game master for a campaign, on top of stream GM’ing. During that time I was also a guest on some showcase games on Encounter Roleplay like Nibiru, Children of the Beast, and Zafir. Some of the games were on Kickstarter while we were showcasing them.
In the second half of 2019, things slowed down a bit regarding my stream games. We did, however, start a new actual play podcast with Mud & Blood, this time, Kult: Divinity Lost!
Discord!
One thing that remained a constant while all of that gaming was going on was my dedication to a few Discord servers that I manage. I like to spend my time creating and managing spaces for fellow TTRPGamers, where they can come together and discuss their favourite hobbies, games, characters, or ask questions to help clarify the rules. Some of these servers include:
- The Rat Catchers Guild – Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay all Editions by Cubicle 7 – Invite
- Age of Soulbound – Age of Sigmar: Soulbound by Cubicle 7 – Invite
- Wrath & Glory – The only server I don’t have a clever name for, by Cubicle 7 – Invite
- Green Ronin Age Appropriate Discord Server – An all in one stop for all of Green Ronin Games – Invite
IntrigueCon
A highlight of last year was in October which seen me attending my first RPG convention – IntrigueCon. It is a local convention for Tabletop Roleplay Gaming which spans 3 days. During those three days we jammed in 5 games, which made for a long, but fun weekend! Over the weekend I ran 2 games, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4th Edition, and The Expanse. I also had the opportunity to play in 3 games, Dark Heresy, Delta Green, and Dungeon Crawl Classics. It was one of these games that will be the topic for my next post.
Awards
During the convention, we took a bit of a break between games 3 and 4. Here in Alberta, we have a healthy gaming community. One of the people in our community put together an award a few years back. The Alberta Roleplaying Game Award. For my contributions to our gaming community in Alberta, I was the recipient of the 2019 award! In addition to all of the other Discords I manage, I am also the creator of the Alberta Tabletop Games Discord server. We started as a TTRPG server for Edmonton, but grew to encompass all tabletop gaming across the province!
All for now
Last year was busy, and this was just my gaming stuff! I also had a wedding and a honeymoon too!
This post was originally going to be much different, but I figured a who am I was in order first.
