About the adventure

The Smile of Misfit Toys Step into a cozy Embertide tale of wandering toys, winter lanterns, and the small mysteries that tug at a town’s heart. Hearthfall glows with festival cheer: warm lamplight in frosted windows, the scent of spiced cider drifting through narrow streets, and Master Thornwhistle’s toyshop humming with endless work. Yet behind the season’s joy lies a quiet problem—three of the toymaker’s oldest creations have slipped away into the night. Now small oddities ripple through the town. A strip of cloth vanishes from a tailor’s line. Metal trinkets go missing from workshops. Someone swears they saw something small dart across a snowy alleyway… laughing. Too busy to leave his shop and too kind to raise alarm, Thornwhistle turns to you for help. Find the misfit toys. Calm the worried townsfolk. Discover what mischief truly stirs beneath Hearthfall’s wintry glow. This is an Embertide mystery full of warmth, wonder, and the unexpected. ⸻ ⚖️ What to Expect • System: Daggerheart (rules taught at the table) • Tone: Cozy whimsy with gentle winter magic • Themes: Belonging, small-town mystery, mischief with heart • Play Style: Investigation, roleplay-forward storytelling, lighthearted sleuthing ⸻ ⏳ Duration: 3–4 hours 🎲 Pre-generated characters available, or bring your own. 🌈✊🏾 Inclusive Space: LGTBQ+ and BIPOC players are welcomed and celebrated here.

About me

Hi, I’m Rob Duke (dukeotaku on Discord). I’m a passionate Game Master with 15+ years of experience crafting immersive, player-driven adventures. I’ve hosted 50+ games on StartPlaying and run a variety of systems – from D&D 5E classics to the newest indie RPGs. In fact, I was an early adopter of Daggerheart and Tales of the Valiant, running them from day one. Players have rated me highly for my creativity, teaching approach, and inclusive table, so you can trust that you’re in good hands for a memorable game night. “Rob’s worldbuilding and collaborative style are unparalleled – he makes every character feel crucial to the story.” – ★★★★★ Player Review 🤝🏻 What to Expect in My Games 🤝🏻 ♦️ Story First: Deep characters, meaningful choices, and roleplay-heavy sessions (about 70/30 RP to combat). ♦️ Beginner Friendly: New to tabletop games? I’ll teach you as we play. No prep required — just bring curiosity. ♦️Safety & Comfort: LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent players welcome. I use tools like the Deck of Player Safety to keep play kind and respectful. 📖 Campaign Tones & Genres 📖 I tailor every campaign’s tone to your preferences. Here are some of the flavors I love to run: ♦️ Cozy Fantasy: Warm, feel-good adventures where the stakes are personal and the world feels like home. ♦️ Romantasy: Epic tales of love and magic – heartfelt narratives where relationships drive the story. ♦️ Dark Fantasy: Gritty, suspenseful worlds with morally gray dilemmas. Every choice has weight and consequences. ♦️ Grimdark: Brutal, high-stakes quests where survival isn’t guaranteed. Perfect if you enjoy intense challenges and a darker tone. (Not sure what tone you prefer? We’ll figure it out together in Session 0 so it fits the experience you want!) 🌈 A Community That Lasts 🌈 Join our Discord community, where players hang out between games for watch parties, board-game nights, and creative collaboration.
