A Court of Mist and Phantoms | LGBTQIA+ Friendly π³οΈβπ
A new Court prepares to join with the Unseelie -- but will the fey courtiers and their intrigues derail the budding alliance?
About the adventure
The fey of the Mirrorlands are on the verge of recognizing a new court amongst their number as the Unseelie prepare to receive the fealty of the ghostly Court of Mist and Phantoms. Your characters will stand amid the ranking fey as witnesses to a vital pledge -- the confirmation of the treaty between this new court and the monarch of the Unseelie, the Queen of Air and Darkness. A week of festivities will conclude with a signing ceremony to welcome the specters and spirits into the darker fey; what could possibly go wrong? Players will be able to: π§ create a courtier character with connections among the powerful archfey π€ forge (or break!) bonds with the multitude of NPCs also attending the event π uncover the machinations and maneuvers of others at the treaty signing π discover (or spread!) rumors to influence the tides of politics in the Mirrorlands π gain tokens and send letters to increase your social standing in the fey courts

About me
I've been running games for twenty-odd years now and enjoy every minute of it! I run narrative-heavy, character-focused adventures in almost any setting. My games are safe, inclusive, intersectional, and tend toward homebrew storylines in dynamic worlds. I love taking players on an emotionally compelling journey that gives them a chance to affect the world their characters inhabit. I always enjoy having people contribute to an ongoing narrative as we build a story together.

By far one of the best GMs I've ever played with, the epitome of 'you get back what you give' in terms of investment, engagement, creativity, etc. I've rarely had the luxury of playing with someone who is as invested in my character's story as I am, and who goes the extra mile in making that story so intertwined into the wider story of the campaign.

There was so much immersion in tonightβs game, and weβre starting to see the players working together in this amazing setting that Jack has prepared for us! Everything has texture and depth and could lead into so many different directions!

I can't possibly say enough good things about Jack's storytelling style and his amazing ability to include everybody. He is amazing at voices and does a wonderful job pulling quieter players into the narrative. He is able to set a beautiful scene and really paint a wonderful picture with his descriptions.

Jack is a great storyteller and does a great job setting scenes, engaging with players and encouraging roleplay. He does his best to make sure all his players are comfortable with game themes and to voice concerns should anything in game cause a player discomfort or distress. Wish I could choose more tags, Jack is always up for allowing players to attempt creative and unconventional solutions to in game scenarios.

Jack G. is a wonderful DM! So far, the game sessions have been focused on Storytelling / Role Playing / Exploring with Combat in places that make sense (not just random to be random or forced to fit in a formula, such as: βX number per session regardless of whatβs happening!β). 1. Setting Knowledge We are playing in the Eberron Setting (5e.2024) and he understands the setting extremely well, to the point of providing small details that make our βEberron: The Claws of Droaamβ exciting to experience. 2. Rules Knowledge From what I can tell, he is well versed in the 5e (β14 & β24) rules, and works with the players so the whole Table understands them. 3. Tech Knowledge From what Iβve experienced, he works well with Discord (audio & video), DNDBeyond, and Roll20. The minor issues that have popped up have been handled deftly and as quickly as possible so the story flows as smoothly as possible. 4. Table Environment A safe space for all who donβt harbor bigotry & hate. 5. Player Interactions He leans into what makes the game interesting for the players - backgrounds, play style, etc. He wants us to get as much fun & joy out of our sessions as possibleβ¦ all while building a strong story with us. He provides a table where we can create a wonderful & well developed story that can create great gaming memories for all.
Character creation
Creating your character
Character concepts and party composition will be discussed on Discord prior to Session 0 as part of the preparation. The GM can assist with the character creation process as needed. Characters will be level 8 during this campaign and use the point-buy method during creation.
DISCOUNTS AVAILABLE! Multiple Game Discount: Any player signed up for a non-discounted seat in three or more separate active campaigns with this GM will have each of those 3+ seats discounted by $5 on an ongoing basis. Recruitment Discount: If any player signed up for a non-discounted seat recruits a new player to join the campaign also at a non-discounted price, both players will have that seat discounted by $5 on an ongoing basis.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Webcam and mic will be required and players are encouraged to begin familiarizing themselves with the rules of play prior to Session 0. A free DnDBeyond account will be necessary for online play. The game will be fully virtual and physical dice will not need to be used.
What Jack G. brings to the table
Access to the D&DBeyond campaign entry and all the other ingredients of an immersive narrative will be provided. Play will be largely theater-of-the-mind. I also offer a Discord text channel to facilitate group communications in addition to the video chat for game sessions!

Safety
How Jack G. creates a safe table
A Content & Consent Survey will be provided and must be completed before Session 0. Every game will have a break partway through and a debrief sequence to conclude. Players can expect a game with somewhat streamlined combat and plenty of social twists and turns. Politics and intrigue factor far more heavily in this campaign than traditional combat encounters, so get ready to flex those roleplay muscles!
