Game Encounter Ideas!

A couple ideas for a TTRPG that is either sea voyage-based, or has a voyage session, or you just really, really like boats! If you like what you see, feel free to check out my ko-fi; I've got a full list of 10 ideas available for members.

Ahoy, Gheisties! Here's a sneak peek of the top membership content! I've got an encounter idea here that would be suitable for your home game's next sea-based scenario; but if you sign up for the $5 Lil Gheisties tier, you get to see all ten!! 

1. The ship’s cat hates everyone except for the captain…and for some reason, one of your party members. The grizzled old feline won’t leave them alone, following them around and yowling for their attention. It goes nearly mad if it can’t get to the party member, scratching and tearing at any door or obstacle in the way until it can glue itself once more to their side.

2. You stumble across a few members of the crew gambling at a dice game, which you know the Captain has expressly forbidden. One of them pulls out a wicked looking knife, eyeing you up and down. “Well? In or out, mate?” The question seems just as loaded as a few of the dice.

3. The water all around the ship begins to light up with tiny pinpricks of bioluminescence. As the sun sets, the waters grow brighter, particle by particle. Darkness descends, and the lights suddenly seem to rise - and drift out of the water entirely, surrounding the entire ship and engulfing it in light. Attracted by the brightness, you see the shadow of something big go under the ship - something very, very big.

The world of our own mythologies are so complex and fascinating - seeing this at the heart of a game could give depth and meaning to a player's experiences

The world's oldest story? Astronomers say global myths about 'seven sisters' stars may reach back 100,000 years https://phys.org/news/2020-12-world-oldest-story-astronomers-global.html

Holy shit, this is cool!

So many cultures call the Pleiades some variation of the "seven sisters" despite only having six visible stars. There only appear to be six because two of the stars are so close together as to appear as one.

The myths also mention one sister leaving or hiding to explain why there's only six. And based off observations and measurements, those two that are so close together used to be visibly separate. One literally has moved to hide.

And based off the similarities between the more commonly known Greek myth and the Aboriginal Australian myth, plus some other stuff, this myth could possibly even date back to when humanity still all resided in Africa!

I think more games with romance should include polyamory as an option. Not just because of inclusion purposes but also because a lot of these games are super long RPGs and I sure as hell don't have time to replay the game 5 times to romance everyone I wanted to.

One of my favorites is the final resting place of a truly gigantic robot, starting in the area shaped by its last moments before venturing into the wreckage/corpse itself in search of salvage, braving both the robot's own machinery and any dangerous creatures that moved in after it fell.

Problem with making sci fi dungeons is coming up with places that aren't just military tech bases, research facilities, mines or abandoned space stations.

I have the entirety of modern life to pull from and I come up blank somehow.

HETEROSEXUAL CIS-PEOPLE LOOK HERE

Snaps my fingers at you as you scroll past this post

Look at me. Listen.

I'm not the best at serious posts, but that article up there reminded me of how important it is that people like you stand up for us. So hold on while I try to get this out of my mushy end-of-work-day brain.

We could fight this fight ourselves for decades trying to reach the equal laws, gender affirming trans healthcare that doesn't have a 2-5+ soul-eating years of waiting time, medical care with equal knowledge of lgbtqia+ bodies, and, what is often forgotten, inclusion in the little everyday areas of life like our way of speaking or things being set up or designed with the existence of queer people in mind.

But you joining in could get us there so much faster.

The power you have as a hetero cis person is that you set the standard for what is seen as the average way of treating us among other hetero cis people. You have been given the power of deciding what's "normal" and I'm begging you to use it.

Richard Green is a great example of to what extent your actions can help our situation, and smaller ways of support still add up to a great impact on society, and could make the days of the queer people you interact with.

Educate yourself before you speak up, but don't be silent.
