About the adventure
The Second Great War left the world broken. The lands are dying, and crumbling cities are dotted with beggars who were once kings. Powerful factions vie for dominance as rampant lawlessness plummets the value of silver and gold. Magic itself is escaping, and everything it once held aloft now tumbles from the skies. The world's only hope lies in the Fracture—a massive world-scar stretching across hundreds of miles, ripping open a gateway into the void of the Weave. Brave, desperate souls lead perilous expeditions into the abyss, fighting for every mote of arcana in hopes of returning with a handful of pure magic. Step into the heavy boots of renowned figures: heirs of fallen royal bloodlines, leaders of the emerging world order, bosses of ruthless criminal syndicates, and grand archmages of the decaying academies. Each seeks to salvage their dying legacy—or force the world into a new era. From deadly delves and void-touched expeditions to unearthing forgotten artifacts and surviving the monsters of both the Fracture and high court intrigue, you must master every facet of life to achieve your goals. Are you ready?

About me
Ever since I first picked up a twenty-sided die, I’ve wanted to be behind the GM screen, narrating fantastical stories my friends create. I’ve come a long way since the days of pen and paper and cozy huddles around my kitchen table—but one thing hasn’t changed: I treat you as a friend in my worlds. With a background in theater and literature, I strive to weave meticulously crafted narratives that stir minds and hearts. Each story has the freedom to breathe and grow, with the ultimate goal of creating a majestic tale we’ll remember for life. I also create TTRPG supplements and articles, some of which have even found their way onto Gen Con tables! I’m deeply passionate about community and storytelling as ways to bridge the hardships of life and forge lasting companionship. You can find my work and musings at elvenfirefly.com.

How Nikko | ElvenFirefly creates a safe table
⏳ Expect a long campaign (1+year) broken down into distinctive arcs (1-3 months) that allow long-term and short-term players alike. 🧭 Open-world, character driven. 📜 Session 0 will happen in the form of a 30-ish minute 1-to-1 call with me before the session to set on your character and establish Lines and Veils, as well as go over safety tools. We shall have a group session 0, to establish connections and build our history. A 10-minute break roughly in the middle and another 5-minute break will serve for drinks, snacks, and bio, as well as to help with the pacing and bleed.
