About the adventure

After fighting through the trenches and narrowly escaping death in service to the gods, you awaken to discover that you and your fellow soldiers have been granted powerful new abilities. Harness your newfound strength to either continue your years of service and achieve glory for your god or to reshape the world with a new perspective. This game is a collaborative adventure where you will confront corrupt systems of power, reveal long-forgotten histories, and alter the future for better or worse. Come and join the World of Rota and carve your name, whether they like it or not, into history in this high narrative wartime drama of survival, intrigue, and power! This game is a gritty, roleplay-focused adventure inspired by WWI trench warfare, eldritch horror, and high fantasy. Rota has humanoids scattered across a world fractured by divine war. Each disk is a god’s domain, and every faction fights for survival and supremacy.

About me

Hi everyone! I’m Daniel, and I’m excited to connect with you. As a Game Master I love crafting immersive worlds and guiding players through exciting narratives. Beyond my role as a Game Master, I’m also a husband and dad to two girls. Additionally, I’m a novice writer with a passion for exploring new ideas and refining my craft, drawing from my extensive experience in TTRPGs. Over the past 10 years, I’ve used these games as a platform to bring imaginative and emotionally engaging stories to life. I believe that the most memorable adventures are those that captivate and resonate deeply. I’m thrilled to invite you to join me in this creative journey and work together to craft unforgettable adventures that will stay with us long after the game ends.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

💬 - Join the Discord server. 🧩 - Download the AboveVTT extension for Chrome. 🎥 - Ensure their camera and microphone are working before the start of play.

What GM DANIEL brings to the table

I provide D&D Beyond content for character creation, AboveVTT for maps and gameplay, and Discord for voice and video chat. To enhance immersion, I use character voices and ambient music. I generally follow rules as written (RAW) but am open to justified exceptions that enhance the game. I bring years of knowledge in storytelling, group play, and customer service. Expect a fun and professional environment that comes with care and focus.

Homebrew rules

Players get one narrative re-roll per game instead of a point of inspiration. This increases the stakes of narrative scenes where a player wants to give it their all. Failure and success are multiplied, leading to astounding narrative moments.
