About the adventure
You have been invited to the exclusive annual gala held by the Summervine family, one of the richest noble families in town. But you are not here to party. Rosalyn Zeshe, royal spymaster, has heard rumors of the matriarch of the Summervine family using the gala as a cover for a demon worshipping ritual. She has hired your party to infiltrate the gala, find out what is really going on, and put a stop to the nefarious plot. The City of Arches is a wonderful setting created by Mike Shea featuring a city that acts as a nexus between worlds and dimensions. Thousands of arches found throughout the city can be activated through special keys summoning portals to other realms. You will play adventurers in this city. If players are interested, we can start a campaign in this setting after this oneshot. This is a learn to play oneshot of daggerheart. We will be using the foundrybourne system in FoundryVTT to play. Pregens will be provided, or you may bring your own characters. We will start at level 1.

About me
Greetings Adventurers, Investigators, Cyberpunks and more! I am a gay asian man and an gamemaster with almost 10 years of experience in way too many systems to count, and a performing improvisor and actor as well. I firmly believe that we are here to tell a story together, and incorporating player ideas into my own worlds and stories is a crucial part of my job as a gm. One of my favorite things about the hobby is meeting new people, and teaching new players. Incorporating your character's backstories and goals is just as important as any "main plot" in my opinion so bring em on! Let's tell stories together!

A discord and forge account are necessary as we will be using them for voice and VTT respectively. A strong internet connection, as well as decent microphone are also requirements.
What Brandon Schneider brings to the table
I have multiple sessions of experience in this system and similar narrative games. I write adventures that are adaptive to the players and the solutions YOU come up with. I pride myself in the ability to teach new players complex systems. A background in improv and acting brings my characters to life as they react to what you do and say. A strong knowledge of Foundry VTT and the mist engine implementation for seamless sessions.
