Learn to Play Daggerheart | Age of Umbra
As darkness spreads and nightmares rise, you stand against the curse. Venture beyond the walls and fight to reclaim a world on the brink of ruin.
About the adventure
A century has passed since the God-King Othedias betrayed the Pantheon, provoking divine punishment and abandonment by the gods that left the realm of the Halcyon Domain shattered, desolate, and eternally cursed. Throughout this shadow-choked land of decaying fortresses and dreadful monstrosities, surviving communities cling to hope in the face of lightless oblivion. In an Age of Umbra campaign, you’ll play heroic survivors who protect their community from the terrors beyond their walls, venture out into the unknown to hunt the nightmares that twist and grow with each fallen soul, seek answers to the curses that corrupt this world, and perhaps even discover a way to change its fate.

Probably one of the best DM experiences I've had in years. He's engaging. I was thoroughly entertained. Great visual aids; a terrific narrator, and even allows for player creativity while still holding within practicality in game rules. Looking forward to the next session.

Geoff is really passionate and puts his all into his games. Really fun and engaging combat coupled with voices and the full power of Foundry at his disposal make for entertaining and memorable sessions, with great care for all aspects of play and the players at the virtual table. I highly recommend giving Geoff a shot if you're looking for a GM who will give his all to help you ease into a fantasy adventure you for sure will not want to miss out on.

"I had an amazing experience with Geoff! He was incredibly prepared, kept the story engaging, and were excellent at balancing player input with the narrative. I appreciated how he handled both roleplay and combat scenarios, making sure everyone felt involved and had a good time. Their ability to adapt to unexpected twists and incorporate players' choices into the storyline was top-notch. If you're looking for a GM who’s creative, communicative, and fun to play with, I highly recommend Geoff!"

Always asks for feedback to improve his game. Made my character pretty poorly at the start cause I was (and still am) pretty new to ttrpgs. He allowed me to change it even after getting to level 7. Funny and good voice work.

Geoff is a wonderful DM. He's knowledgeable of the rules, patient with player dialogue and decision making, forgiving on when players forget lore and firm (but fair) when players make incorrect calls that counter the rules. His strengths include a strong grasp of the game rules, content, narration and voice acting. Hes great at giving players time and space to think things out, but knows how to inject or spur action to keep the game rolling when appropriate. I've loved every game I've played with him so far and would recommend 10/10 to any other players looking for a DM. Keep it up, Geoff!
