About the adventure

This is the story of a handful of individuals, all bound by a pact-ritual to the same Demonic Master. As payment for the cunning abilities they’ve been granted, their Master has issued a command they cannot refuse: "You have 28 days to dispose of Duke Garen, Lord of Gundavar." An impossible task, it seems—taking down a powerful provincial lord residing in an impenetrable fortress, guarded by elite soldiers and a legendary mage bodyguard. But there’s little choice. Refusal means a swift and untimely death at the hands of their Master. Our players begin their tooth-and-nail story as Level 2 characters. As they pursue their deadly mission, they can: - Approach powerful factions - Forge alliances - Discover rare items to strengthen their arsenal - Or, through wit and charisma, find another path This is a West Marches adventure, meaning you can join as often or as rarely as you'd like. Dozens of players will work toward a common goal. Each time you join, you’ll play with a different group. No long-term commitment is necessary—but your input can always make a difference. What to Expect: - Suitable for both new and experienced players - Emphasis on story and character interaction - Each session grants 50% of the XP needed to reach your next level - Items found in previous sessions stay with your character First time playing at this table? Bring a Level 2 character sheet with standard/basic equipment or I can send you a pre-made character. If you have any questions, feel free to message me. Best regards

About me

I’ve been GM-ing since 2019, running everything from one-shots to a three-year bi-weekly campaign. My style blends gritty, character-driven fantasy with just enough humor to keep things fun. I draw inspiration from writers like Joe Abercrombie and George R. R. Martin, as well as The Witcher, Game of Thrones, and classic myth. At my table, player freedom comes first. Want to ignore the main plot and instead lead an army of hyenas against the white walls of Minas Tirith? Perfect, I’ll make it epic. My goal is always to create a vivid theatre-of-the-mind experience where players can unleash their creativity and leave with unforgettable stories.

Creating your character

If it's your first time joining this game, please create a Level 2 character sheet, or I can provide you with a pre-generated one. If you'd like to have an in-depth discussion about your character, feel free to message me. This game is entirely theater of the mind, accompanied by music and sound effects.
