Moonlight

Written By Ansel Burch

Describe yourself and your play style:

I'm Moonlight, I use he/they pronouns, and am currently living in Wales with my husband of 10 years. In addition to TTRPGs my hobbies include writing and drawing, though I'd describe the latter in particular as beginner level.

I got back into TTRPGs in 2022, after drifting away from them around a decade prior, and has been exploring them since then. I enjoy a wide variety of games and game styles, and but tend to gravitate towards games that have more substance to them than most one page games while not getting bogged down in rules, and as a GM I enjoy nothing more than being surprised by my players.

Tell us about your favorite NPC to have run:

One of my favourite NPCs to run was Richard in my 2024-2025 Animon Story campaign, who I introduced as a classmate of to pre-seed an adventure I intended to run, my players took a lot of interest in him early, and he became a lot more significant of an NPC than the background classmate that happened to be important for a single adventure later down the line I was expecting him to be when I introduced him.

“Saurus City” is a Standard One Shot in the Grasping Nettles system, led by Moonlight

“Saurus City is a haven for all dino-kind, sprawling atop several giant plateaus that break the clouds and are connected by large trams and pteranodon routes. The bustling and packed-in citizens are all dinosaur-human hybrids, some more dinosaur or more human than others. Despite its isolation, there’s always more to see in Saurus City.”


We'll be building off of this foundation, and what each other person has done, in order to tell a story together that spans multiple generations of an entire community. Instead of controlling individual characters, we'll be sharing control of three major factions, but the game has room for scene play where we'll play as individuals within the world we're creating for the duration of that scene.


Within the three hour session scheduled, we should have time to play through around 2-3 generations depending on how quickly things go, and depending on how many people sign up I'll either join in as a player or simply facilitate this otherwise GMless game, walking the group through the rules as you play."

This game will be great if you like collaborative world building or storytelling
