About the adventure
**BEGINNER FRIENDLY** **LGBTQIA+ FRIENDLY** **NO HISTORICAL KNOWLEDGE REQUIRED** "The World is already at War. Now the Veil has been torn. The Whispers promise you power. You may live long enough to lose your humanity." No Man's Land is a horror themed WWI campaign using the Never Going Home system. The party will play together as a unit of soldiers trying to survive the war and get home. Most of them will not. Players will control individual members of the unit as they live, fight, and die alongside each other in the trenches. Never Going Home is a party focused TTRPG set in the "horror haunted trenches of the first world war." Set in an alternate version of history in which the veil between dimensions tore allowing eldritch horrors and mystical powers to mix with the European theater of WWI. As this is an alternate reality, no historical knowledge of WWI is required for the game.

About me
Welcome friends! My name is Daisy (she/her), and I am a TTRPG content creator, writer, and professional GM. You may also know me as "the Dancing Bard." I have been running D&D and TTRPG campaigns for nearly 20 years now, the last year and a half professionally. I love handing over the reins of the story to my players and adjusting the story to whatever antics they come up with. I consider myself a "Rule of Cool" GM, and encourage my players to be as creative as they like! I am currently offering Dungeons and Dragons and Monster of the Week games for players of any experience level. I enjoy teaching new players the ropes and they are always welcomed at my tables. If you do not see a day/time listed, feel free to message to see if I can make it available. I am also willing to consider custom homebrewed campaigns as well. If there is another system you're interested in learning, message me and we can discuss rates.

5 Stars and nothing less! Daisy is an amazing storyteller and GM. Every scene feels impactful and incredibly immersive. She’s made me, as a queer person, feel so safe in her games. I’ve since joined a second TTRPG game with Daisy, because my experience was so fantastic. Highly recommend her for players of all skills!!
I have been playing in a Monster of the Week campaign with Daisy for a little over a month now and I have to say this has been one of the most enjoyable experiences I've ever had! As a total newcomer to role-playing games of any kind, Daisy has made me feel totally comfortable and at ease as I find my way through this experience. Her sessions always feel inclusive, exciting, and extremely safe for queer guy who was hesitant about starting RPGs. I've enjoyed it so much that I've signed up for a second campaign with her. Highly recommend.
I've been wanting to learn Monster of the Week for a while now, but was nervous about figuring out a new game system. Daisy made it so easy! She took the time to explain all the mechanics ahead of time, and had no problem with being asked to repeat info throughout the adventure when I needed help figuring things out. She was also great at working with my wacky ideas during the adventure. She's so patient and thoughtful in the way she manages the game. I would definitely recommend signing up for one of her sessions! Update: I've now played two sessions and it was just as good the second time!
Daisy was an excellent DM who started by creating a welcoming and safe environment for all players. She took time to ensure everyone was comfortable before beginning the adventure. The one-shot featured a delightful mix of storytelling, clever traps, and engaging combat scenarios. Daisy's descriptive narration brought the world to life, and I particularly appreciated how she encouraged players to help shape the narrative through their imagination and choices. This collaborative storytelling approach made everyone feel valued and involved. Throughout the session, our party faced various challenges including environmental hazards, hostile creatures, and situations that required both combat and creative problem-solving. Daisy balanced these elements skillfully, keeping the game exciting and engaging throughout. Overall, I had an absolute blast playing and would definitely join another game run by Daisy. It was a perfect way to spend a Saturday night!
