Join us in the fictional town of Stillwater for an ocean conservation-themed TTRPG (tabletop role-playing game) one-shot in celebration of Ocean Week Canada.
In the small beach town of Stillwater—a community rich in nature, culture and heritage—five classmates are on a field trip to study the seaside tidepools when they notice something is off. This once-vibrant ecosystem has begun to whither. But these friends aren’t the only ones to notice a change. Fishermen begin turning up empty nets. Tourists visit less frequently. There have been whispers from parents discussing moving away from their family home if it worsens. Is there anything they can do to stop this? These friends set out to uncover the truth behind the slow decline of their community. Can they gather the evidence needed to right the environmental wrongdoing? Or will their town become another ghost along the coast?
Come help solve this mystery and learn about Ocean Science and the delicate relationship between community, culture and climate!
The creators of Changing Tides, Nikki Forsberg and Sean Lipsit, received the Blue Creators Grant from the Canadian Ocean Literacy Coalition to create this one-shot and describe it as 'D&D-lite.' Newbies and experienced players are both invited to join—characters are pre-created, so you can dive right into the game!
Presented in partnership with Ocean Week Canada.
