Keep an eye on **Meetup** for times, signups, and more details!

**PAID BY PATREON GAMES:**

**Paid By Patreon Games!**
As part of our new **Community First Initiative**, every **SCAG Community Day** will feature a special **“Paid By Patreon” one-shot** — **free to play**, thanks entirely to the generosity of our amazing **Patreon supporters**!

These free games exist *because of them* — our patrons make it possible for fellow adventurers in the Guild to enjoy a one-shot at no cost. For now, we’re able to offer **one free one-shot each month**, but as our Patreon grows, we hope to expand and bring even more free community games to life!

Participation is **first come, first served**, just like any other Guild-run game: but this one’s **a gift from our patrons to you**.

A huge thank-you to our Patreon supporters for helping make adventure accessible to everyone!

**ABOUT THE ADVENTURE**
Get ready for a heartwarming holiday themed game where snowball fights are strategic, cocoa is currency, and friendship might just save the season. In Warmer in the Winter, you and your crew of festive misfits must protect the magic of the holidays from icy villains and forgotten traditions. Expect cozy vibes, wintry whimsy, and just enough mischief to keep things merry and bright.

**ABOUT THE SYSTEM**
Warmer in the Winter is inspired by Hallmark and Lifetime style holiday romances such as The Spirit of Christmas, Let it Snow, and A Royal Christmas.

Here you will follow the denizens of a nosy small town, a tight knit group of friends, outsiders, and more as they mature, fall in love, strengthen their bonds with each other, and learn the meaning of the holiday season. Enjoy the smell of espresso in the corner coffee shop, revel in the warmth of the fire at the inn down the lane, defend the community park against the plans to pave it over, and stumble over your words in front of the stranger with the sparkling eyes.

The game is Powered by the Apocalypse, using the same engine for many popular games and zines like Apocalypse World, Monsterhearts, and Girl Underground. With some inspiration drawn from Monsterhearts but filtered through a rosy, cozy lens, it might even be fun to say that Warmer in the Winter is Powered by the Heart.

**GAME MASTER INFORMATION**
Name: Rooster
Pronouns: He/Him
20+ years as a TTRPG Player

**ABOUT YOUR GAME MASTER**
As a game facilitator, I believe that tabletop roleplaying games are for everyone. My table is a welcoming space for players of all backgrounds, identities, and experiences. I affirm and support gamers from all walks of life, including those from traditionally marginalized communities. Diversity in gaming brings fresh perspectives, richer storytelling, and a more engaging experience for all involved. I encourage players to bring their whole selves to the table, and I strive to create an environment where everyone feels safe, respected, and valued.

At my table, respect and inclusion are non-negotiable. Everyone deserves to play without fear of discrimination, harassment, or exclusion. I am committed to fostering a positive and inclusive space where creativity thrives, and all players have the opportunity to contribute meaningfully to the stories we create together.

If you're looking for a game where you can be yourself and be part of a welcoming, divers community, you're in the right place.

**SAFETY TOOLS USED**
Sometimes games have content or situations where a player or GM may feel stressed out, unsafe, or otherwise not having fun. Safety tools are a way for players and GMs to communicate and check-in before, during, and after a game in order to make sure everyone is still having fun, and to provide the right support when needed.
