About the adventure
Inspired by the indie game PEAK! Reach the Peak! is all about climbing to the top of an island fraught with danger. Uncover the mystery in this customized campaign setting. This campaign is made to be... - An introduction to Daggerheart. - A low-level campaign (1-4). - A mystery-solving adventure through varied environments. - A short, challenging campaign. The plot: The storm was thick when the sea-beast came. You made your peace with death as the enormous shadow blocked out the lightning-blasted sky. Yet here you wake; tossed onto the beach of an island buzzing with eerily cheerful birdsong. You pull our your sending stone to call for help but- no luck. Something is wrong with it. But is that smoke in the distance? Do you have what it takes to stand on the summit ? Sign up and find out !

About me
LGBTQ+ | Filipino-American | Game Designer | Writer | Dreamer Hey there! I’m Josh. I’ve always thought you can get a good impression of a person from their favorite games. So here are a few of mine: Hades Sekiro Wildermyth Outward Bug Fables I grew up near Seattle in the rainy, romantic gray skies of the Pacific Northwest. About 4 years ago I moved to Taiwan to teach English and improve my Mandarin. As a kid I was terminally at home, tearing through books, watching movies and playing games. Always with a sense of anticipation. "When would my adventure would begin?" As I’ve aged, I’ve grown to love how stories offer a reflection of the complex inner worlds we all have. In a way, my journey has already begun. Just like those characters, we are all the main characters of our own stories; but there is something special when we can see those inner lives reflected in one another. I design games and write stories to pursue the connection that transforms a bunch of solitary protagonists into a community. Also, it’s fun! I have been DMing for 9 years; a lot of that time spent with my recent home group that spans the whole world (from Ireland to Taiwan!) I mostly enjoy writing custom content and tailoring stories to the people I’m playing with. I love surprises, and I am really good at hyping up my players. Yes! Of course your feathers can turn into blades. Yes! Of course the banjo is a bard instrument. Let’s get a little silly and pursue our unique stories in a world that itself is stranger than fiction.

Creating your character
Session 0 will be a thorough guide to the Daggerheart character creation process. You and I will work together to create a custom character that is brought to life by the mechanics of the game and your own personal style. I recommend taking a look at Demiplane for available classes, ancestries, and domains. In Daggerheart you can be a crafty mushroom witch or a tortoise with wings and a god's righteous might. A little goblin girl with a giant hammer or a stoic elven nobleman with a mighty tiger companion.

How Dreamerboy creates a safe table
Before session 0 I will provide a brief survey to determine everyone's familiarity with tabletop roleplaying games and their comfort levels with various content. During session 0 we will set the tone of the campaign and review my expectations for player conduct and GM content. ("Act in good faith with the rules, the players, and the GM.") X card system for any triggers that arise during a session.
