About the adventure
Come ye to the Fractured Reach. It's been two millennia since the vile Lich Queen Nhacra was vanquished in an epic battle that scarred the land and pushed monsters to the very periphery of the known world. Since then your island nation isolated itself, retreating into obscurity from the Reach. Now, in the time of the Slumbering Tide, a group of neophyte adventurers have come of age. You must undertake a dangerous trial - a chance to prove yourself and earn your Oath Carvings. The timing is auspicious as the Bone-Clad seers spotted a new moon rising over the Silver Spire. Grab thy sword and focus, the time of high adventure is nigh. I'm a full-time professional DM that's run more than 350 online sessions (StartPlaying and Discord) and has 3,500+ hours on Roll20. I have a 95% retention rate with players that join my campaigns. In my custom world the collaborative story we tell revolves around you. Your choices, backstories, and wishes propel the story forward. The setting is an immersive high fantasy sandbox for your TTRPG thrills. Beginner Friendly! Built for new players and veterans alike, your GM is a passionate teacher and storyteller. Pre-generated characters are available to you if you just want to jump into the action. A custom setting awaits your indulgences and ideas. Using Dungeons and Dragons 5e 2024 rules, we'll craft a collaborative story that shall echo through the ages. You Can Expect: • Role-playing galore - memorable NPCs and inter-party role-playing throughout • True open world - where you go, what you do, and your choices shape the world and future adventures • Tense combat - requiring players to work together and strategize • Captivating downtime - text based solo adventures between sessions • A vibrant world to explore - including mega-cities you can get lost in and never leave • Fun and Games - interested in chariot races, battle of the bards, and colosseum matches anyone? • Intrigue - politics, detective work, betrayal, lost knowledge are all featured If you'd like to have fun, laugh, cry, gasp, scream, and shout out, "Argh!" then sign up today! If for any reason you don't enjoy the game, I'll refund your session fee no questions asked.

About me
Hello and welcome! I'm a full-time professional DM that's run more than 350 online sessions (StartPlaying and Discord) and has 3,500+ hours on Roll20. I have a 95% retention rate with players that join my campaigns. I've spent more than 30 years running and playing Dungeons & Dragons adventures. I'm a "PlayersGM" that's focused on your game time enjoyment. I welcome new players as well as veterans. You'll find my passion infectious, my patience legendary, and my ability to captivate your attention refreshing. I'm American born and have traveled extensively throughout the world - forging me into a down to earth person who's accepting of others in all regards. Raised in the Midwest, I have an "accentless accent" which is the same many successful broadcast journalists have. My background in writing, teaching, storytelling, improvisation, and business management lends itself well to running Dungeons & Dragons games - let's roll some dice together!

How GMBrad creates a safe table
The content warnings below detail general themes that will appear in the game, other content will appear from time to time. Part of our Session 0 will involve going over lines, veils, and other content that the table might wish to avoid or minimize. Dungeons and Dragons is meant to be an escape from the troubles of our daily lives. Above-table prejudices including racism, misogyny, homophobia, and transphobia are NOT acceptable at my table and will lead to your immediate removal.
