Yazeba's Bed and Breakfast - a Legacy Campaign

Once upon a time, the world was cruel, and there was a witch who knew it well. And so, she sold her heart away and built a house in the woods where the world could never find her.

At first she would let no one into her fortress. But in the long march of days, a strange thing happened: in her own cold and spiteful way, the witch made a friend… and then another… and then several more, until her house was teeming with colorful faces and complicated lives.

The house would come to be known as Yazeba’s Bed & Breakfast, and it would last for a very long time.


Current Players:

  • FrivYeti
  • thenorm42
  • Naphthalim
  • booked

Former / Hiatus Players:

  • KnockingBox
  • tibbius
  • MrPrim
  • Fred
  • Fluorite

The Residents

  • Gertrude: A teenage girl who ran away from home, and currently sleeps atop the dryer in the laundry room. She is kind and insecure, quiet and capable beyond expectations.
  • Sal: A weary young adult who once studied to be Yazeba’s apprentice, before leaving magic behind. Now he works as the night porter, but hopes to someday become a rockstar — although it’s not clear how he’s going to get there.
  • Hey Kid: Abandoned on the front door as a baby, they grew up amid the chaos of the Bed & Breakfast. Now they’re a delightfully rambunctious devil-child, who causes disaster wherever they go.
  • Parish: Once a gallant knight, cursed by a wicked wizard to take the form of a frog. Now he’s the Bed & Breakfast’s head (and only) cook, but he’s still a courageous hero at heart.
  • Amelie: A robotic maid acquired by the Bed & Breakfast. They are the meticulous housekeeper constantly struggling (and failing) to keep the Bed & Breakfast tidy. They’re still parsing out who they’re supposed to be.
  • Yazeba: The Witch, who traded her heart for the Bed & Breakfast, not that that's any of your business.

The Guests

  • Muckleby: A huge glob of grime that uses she/her pronouns.
  • The Rabbits In The Garden Who Wear Little Outfits: A warren of sentient bunnies who use a variety of pronouns.
  • Crookneck the Pumpkin Boy: a silent scarecrow on a stick who uses he/him pronouns
  • Percival ("Percy") Combustion: An enormous, apologetic lava elemental who uses he/him or they/them pronouns.
  • The Dabrowski Family: A man who doesn't believe in magic, and his daughter who is training to be a wizard.
  • Mr. Boggs: A businessman cursed with a soggy disposition who uses he/him pronouns.
  • Monday: A fairy dream merchant who uses they/them pronouns.
  • Niviana ("Viv") of Illyn: The Lady of the Lake her(?)self, who uses she/her or they/them pronouns.
  • Rag-And-Bones: A particularly unpleasant skeleton who uses he/him pronouns.
  • Lady Sheridan ("Sherry") Du Sang: A bitter, fangless vampire aristocrat who uses she/her pronouns.
  • Yola Oleander: A very old shrub spirit who uses she/her pronouns.
  • T.H.E.M.: A huge enormous fuzzy monster who uses they/them pronouns.

Some guests are literal guests, while others are employees of the Bed & Breakfast who come and go. They are not at the centre of the B&B and its stories; they've got their own things going on.


The Bed and Breakfast

Chapters:


Basic Rules Each character has their own sheet; players can and should shift between characters between chapters. Each character also has an Identity and some facts about themselves, as well as Bingos and Whoopsies. By default, these are moments when they are at their best, or at their worst. Many chapters have special rules for when or how you can do these actions.

Each Resident and most Guests also have a Journey - the thing that they're doing - which they advance in unique ways according to their sheet. Most Journeys have their own Track or List, which get filled by extra leftover bits at the end of a Chapter. The B&B as a whole also has Tracks, Lists, and Stickers that unlock new sections of story.

Each chapter has its own special rules of play, as well as a number of Tracks and/or Lists and rules about how to fill them.


Safety Tools

Take-Backsies: If you have an idea and then realize later that you don't like it and didn't want to do it, it's okay to take it back. This might involve a bit of revision, but that's okay.

Cooties: If you discover in play that something is making you uncomfortable, you can ask the other players not to include it. You don't have to explain why you don't like it.

Lines: There are things that are a flat NO, either because they make us uncomfortable or because we're just sort of tired of seeing them show up. They are:

  • Sexual Assault
  • Real-World Bigotry
  • Suicide / Suicidal Ideation

Veils: There are things that we do NOT want described 'on screen', but it's okay if they're referred to in the game. They are:

  • Animals getting hurt
  • Child Abuse
  • Explicit Sex
  • Graphic Violence
  • Historical references to suicide attempts/ideation
