Please read the "Party Notes" for campaign details! πŸ”΅ Learn a new tabletop system! 🟣 Engage in collaborative roleplay and worldbuilding! πŸ”΅ Think strategically in thrilling tactical combat! 🟣 All while playing with real miniatures and terrain, live streamed just for you! Daggerheart is an innovative 2d12 system from Darrington Press, the publishing arm of Critical Role, that puts you in the shoes of a party of heroic adventurers. This is a system that emphasizes improv and storytelling while also offering inspired game mechanics.

About me

I'm Bryan (he/him/39yo), and I've been GMing since I started improvising games with my friends 25 years ago. I enjoy running thematic, engaging games, incorporating music, handouts, and other elements to make each game feel alive. As a military veteran, I know what it's like to wrangle a group of people from different backgrounds, and I use that to facilitate the engaging and memorable games I host. I enjoy combat, but I think it's important to balance that with social roleplay, puzzles, and other interactions. Everything should happen with purpose and drive the game forward. Let's roll some dice!

Bryan is an amazing DM that provides an immersive experience with Foundry VTT and his knowledge of second edition Pathfinder rules. He adapts and improvises to the flow of the game and player actions to provide an outstanding experience by using the "rule of cool" over the Rules as Written. He foster teamwork and cooperation in a friendly setting.

Bryan created an immersive experience that sucks you in and keeps you glued to your screen. With great music, descriptions and character voices I am always anticipating what comes next. Bryan allows for plenty of roleplay between players and NPCs. I am playing and learning Candela Obscura with Bryan and am having a complete blast!

Bryan is a real professional GM. He knows the rules in and out and each one is plugged into foundry so that you don't need to remember them! He shows up on time, he is prepared for each session. He knows the tools - foundry and discord run so smoothly that you forget how complex they are. Playing with Bryan is playing made easy. I'd 100% recommend Bryan to anybody looking to have a a real professional GM experience and he is so good you'll never want to go back. If you are the type of person worried about all the work that goes into a campaign, seriously Bryan is for you. In our first session I forgot to add items to my monk character. Bryan completely handled it. Not only that, but he gave me cooler stuff than I would have thought of (a scarf with hidden armor - yes please)

No experience or prior knowledge necessary; beginners welcome and encouraged! New players will need to schedule a special one-on-one session with the GM to learn the basics of the game, make a character, and find a place within the world we're creating together.
