While participating, players are not expected to post very much, nor are they expected to make long posts. Exactly what that is depends on which game we end up choosing, and will be more free-form than the turn based weeks we’ll get to at the start of next year. The game’s first turn would be the start of January, though through December we will do some pre-game set up. We’ll keep the turns going with whatever set of players we have at a given moment. If anyone needs to drop out, or can’t start playing until June, then that’s fine! A player can even drop out for months only to rejoin the game again when they have the bandwidth.
#The quiet year full#
I don’t expect anyone to commit 100% to being around for a full year. Previous forum games have had a slow pace and they unfold over time, so I like the idea of leaning into that and really feeling the time and seasons go as we play.Ī year is long and real life happens. We play a Quiet Year-like game in real time.Įach turn takes a week, we only draw the next card when the current week is over. So I thought a fun idea for the forum would be: There are other Quiet Year hacks with different flavours, settings, tones but following the core concept of a year playing out with weeks as a turn while you draw cards from a deck. 1įriends at the Table: Marielda 02: The City of Light Pt. It’s a good way to get a sense of the game, and doesn’t require knowledge of the previous season (even if they allude to things).įriends at the Table: Marielda 01: The City of Light Pt. These games don’t all match to that entirely but it’s the foundation of the original game.įriends at the Table played The Quiet Year for Marielda. But that changes from turn to turn, you’re encouraged to hop around and not stick too much to one character. On your turn, you might tell things from the perspective of a certain character or group. You don’t have a specific character, you’re just operating as an author. The broad pitch on the Quiet Year (the original game at least) is that as a group you’re collaboratively telling the story of a community.
And by the morning of December 25th the whole place is gone without even pine needles left.
The people running it, possibly don’t exist, possibly long dead. It appears literally overnight and the entire business and farm is completely untraceable.
The Setting is a pop up Christmas Village and tree seller. Time for our fame of Anomaly to begin! The set up discussion can be found here, but the game begins proper here this thread.
