Life in the small and sleepy town of Sidereal Bay is peaceful, quiet... and sometimes a little boring. Despite boasting a healthy tourist trade and gorgeous seafront view, the most exciting thing most people growing up here have to look forward to is the yearly Starshine Festival, where those who climb to the very top of the lighthouse at midnight are said to have their wishes granted.

On the night of the festival, a small group of high school friends make their way to the top of the lighthouse and instead of their wishes find themselves each granted a Wish Dial and recruited to fight back against the evil Calamity Kingdom. The newly formed team of Miracle Warriors must now protect the citizens of Sidereal Bay, re-assemble the shattered Miracle Clock... oh yeah, and save the world while they're at it!

Starwish ★ Miracle is a tabletop one shot run in Glitter Hearts with the potential to be expanded into a full campaign later down the line. The session will start in medias res with the Miracle Warriors having already spent some time fighting and learning their magic, though an informal session zero will be held to allow players to brainstorm and establish any potential relationship hooks or character building before the main session.

There are 3 to 5 slots available and the session is set to be held on any of the following dates: January 26th, 27th and 28th. This is a signup post to gauge both player interest and potential turnout and what day will be best for everyone's availability. Please fill in the form below if you can commit to attending – while I may not be able to accommodate everyone, please be sure you can fully commit to attending to at least one of the available days!

The deadline for signups is January 20th. On that day, I will decide on the final player lineup and we'll start prepping for game!

Character Pitch: (normal glasses, what's behind the glasses)Shoshana Rose's everyday persona is the Savant...whose specialty is conspiracy theories. She's obsessed with aliens, magic, faeries, weird anomalies--you name it, she is absolutely sure They're Out There. Let's not even go into her collection of tinfoil hats, website printouts and newspaper clippings, and the fact that she probably forgets to eat and/or bathe half the time. As head of the UFO club at her high school, she's just really, really into her investigating work, and she'll go out on all sorts of limbs and put herself at risk to Find the Truth. That night at the festival, her wish to experience something extraordinary came true when she learned of magic and the hidden fight against the Calamity Kingdom.

Miracle Mystery (name up for change if something more Zodiac-ish is needed) - Shoshana transforms into a magical girl who fills in the Tactician archetype, her racing thoughts helping her to be One Step Ahead of whatever villain they come up against, using her smarts and her out-of-the-box thinking to help keep her teammates out of harm's way to the best of her ability. She vibes with the Desire Emotional Connection, but in a desire to know things and attempt to sate her insatiable curiosity. To that end, she gets the Enangling Whip power, which manifests as a red string--just like the ones she uses on her pinboard.

Availability: Insofar all of those dates work for me, though I would prefer the 27th or 28th if possible. Those dates I could start at about 12pm EST and stay up until about 6 or 7pm EST at the latest; the 26th I would def need a hard stop of 6pm EST.

Anything else?:
