This week’s Board Game Brunch had us finishing up our Extra Life 2021 Campaign by mixing up some potions. We played Potion Explosion on Board Game Arena and ate Bubbling BLT Dip with a Color Changing Cocktail.

Event Description
As part of the WiscoDice support of Extra Life, we are hosting a streamed play of Forgotten Waters on Saturday, November 6 from 1:00 – 5:00 pm!
Forgotten Waters by PlaidHat Games, is an exciting, semi-cooperative game where you and your party play as pirates. Can you be the most infamous? Can you build your pirate to be successful? Can you avoid stealing from your party long enough to help them not get killed? Ok, maybe it is a bit silly. Maybe it is a bit… off, but the point is, it is a lot of fun!
Preparing for the Game
This is a multimedia driven game. It will be set up with multiple components. If you want to play, make sure you have completed the following before the game:
- If you can, donate to our Extra Life campaign! It will help support kids and frankly, guarantees you a slot in the game.
- Sign up for the event by emailing [email protected] . Include your Discord user name
- Join the WiscoDice Discord Server. You will need access to Discord to hear the game and participate.
- A camera is NOT necessary, but seeing your other fellow pirates can add to the experience.
- You will need to be able to open multiple applications and stream, plan your computer hardware appropriately.
- From your smartphone, tablet or computer, go to https://fwcrossroads.com
- From the fwcrossroads.com site, select Extra Ship/Player Sheets
- This will take you to a different site. In the upper right hand corner click the “Replacement Player Sheets”.
- Select a pirate archetype that sounds interesting. Ideally we’ll have different pirates for each player, so picking a few is ideal.
- Print off the two pages for the pirate(s) you selected.
- Prior to the game day, fill out the blanks that do not require a player’s name.
- From the fwcrossroads.com site, select Extra Ship/Player Sheets

Event Description
Step into the world of Zyathé. Discover a haunted tree house and uncover a mystery that will surely chill you to the bone. Darktide’s Night is an evening when the spirits cross more easily into the material plane. It is best to stay indoors, whispered prayers to your deities on your lips, and protections at your doors.
Characters
We will be using pre-generated 2nd level characters. Each character will have a unique backstory and character traits to aid with roleplaying. At the start of session I will provide a link to the character sheets and each player will be able to select a character. If two players select the same character and can’t resolve who get will play the character, then I will roll a dice to determine.
Primary Rule
Have fun, but not at the expense of others. I see my job as the DM is to facilitate all of the players into having a good time. I hope you can bring the same attitude to the game.
Dice and Dice Rolls
I am using a trust system. Roll real dice, tell me what you rolled. Stay honest. This is a one off and it’s about the experience and the environments you will explore. Cheating at a few dice rolls won’t provide you any real significant challenge and a few failures ultimately are better for the story as a whole.
