Games for beginners

This page lists all “games for beginners,” with the ones currently accepting new players shown first. These games are run by “Mentors” — volunteers who are generously offering their time and expertise to help new users learn how Storium works.

If you're new around here, joining one of these games is a great way to learn the ropes. There’s no pressure or expectations, nor is there any long-term commitment. Just join up and play for as long as you need to!

Note: if you’re a free Storium user, these games do not count against your 3-game limit. So dive in!

A Game for Beginners

A Game for Beginners

You are adventurers looking to make a quick coin or perhaps help the weak - what fortune will you find with sword or spell?

This game is intended for first-time players to familiarise themselves with the Storium format and hopefully have some fun along the way. This is not intended to be a long-running game for the same characters; once players have been through an entire chapter they will be retired to make room for new players.

Feel free to use pre-made nature/strength/weakness cards or make up your own. Please note you won’t be able to change those cards (except through gameplay) once you’re accepted so be sure of your choices before you submit! All characters from complete beginners will be accepted, though you may have to wait until a new scene begins before you can get writing. This game is intended for people with little to no Storium experience at all; more experienced players will be accepted based on availability and suitability.

I will run episodic adventures to accommodate players coming and going - feel free to retire your characters at the end of any scene if you’re ready to move on.

Any questions? Contact me by email (on my profile) or in comments! I look forward to narrating for you all. :)
