About the adventure
Embertide doesn’t always need a stage or a crowd—sometimes it just needs a fire, a few instruments, and people willing to show up. When a struggling farm family on the winter roads faces losing their land before the holiday, the traveling bard Tobias Longtooth calls in a handful of friends and fellow wanderers for a small, impromptu jug-band jamboree meant to lift spirits, draw neighbors together, and buy the family one more season of hope. Help mend fences, gather the last of the harvest, share a meal by the hearth, and turn a quiet winter night into something worth remembering. The music won’t solve everything—but it might remind everyone why this place is worth saving. High RP. Low Combat. A cozy, low-stakes Embertide tale about community, kindness, and the warmth we make together. ⸻ ⚖️ What to Expect • System: Daggerheart (rules taught at the table) • Tone: Cozy, heartfelt, and nostalgic • Themes: Community, memory, second chances, belonging • Play Style: Roleplay-forward, collaborative storytelling • Combat: Minimal — one short, contained scene • Optional: All bards. ⸻ ⏳ Duration: ~3 hours 🎲 Pre-generated characters available, or bring your own 🌈✊🏾 Inclusive Space: LGBTQ+ and BIPOC players are welcomed and celebrated here. Sometimes the greatest magic of the season is simply showing up for one another.

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.
