About the adventure
In the untamed wilds of the Forgotten Realms, a new settlement is being carved out, a bastion of hope in a world of monsters. Caught between two apocalyptic forces. A storm-worshipping cult seeks to unleash divine fury from the sea, while a death-obsessed faith raises an army of the dead from the east. This is a campaign for players who want to build a legacy. Your actions will determine if this town becomes a thriving city or a forgotten ruin. 🏰Build & Command Your Own Base: Design your party's stronghold right in town. You draw the battlemap, and we'll bring it to life and help you recruit custom NPCs to run it. ⛰️Explore an Untamed Wilderness: Plunge into haunted swamps, navigate treacherous mountains, and uncover the secrets of ancient ruins. This is a sandbox world where your curiosity is rewarded with treasure and danger. 💀Confront Apocalyptic Threats: Uncover the plots of two warring cults and dismantle their operations before they can unleash their gods' wrath upon the world. 🐉Hunt (or Ally with) Dragons: The wilderness is home to ancient and powerful dragons. Will you hunt them for glory and treasure, or will you dare to forge an alliance with a force of nature?

About me
Forget random dungeons. My tables are for players who want their choices to have weight, to feel the ripple effects of their actions in a world that feels truly alive. My background in Social Sciences and Public Administration means I build worlds with depth. ⚖️ Real Consequences: Expect intricate political webs and NPCs driven by realistic motivations. Your decisions will have tangible, cascading consequences that permanently alter the world. 🏛️ Systemic Depth: You won't just clear a dungeon; you might destabilize an entire economy or spark a diplomatic crisis. We'll explore how power operates and how history is shaped by the choices of a few. 🌎 An International Storyteller As a Brazilian Game Master, I bring a unique cultural perspective to my storytelling, and a professional approach I've shared with players at events like GenCon's Portuguese track. The narratives we build are infused with a different rhythm and a global flavor. I am fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and I foster a diverse, international community at my tables. If you are a player who craves exploration with real stakes and wants to see your character's legacy written into the fabric of a believable world, then your seat is waiting.

What to expect

What Gabriel Olive brings to the table
✅ Free Session 0! ✅ Deep Character Integration: I thrive on weaving your character's backstory and motivations into the core of the plot. Your personal stakes will become the central pillar of our story. ✅ Premium VTT Experience: I bring a full suite of professional tools to the table, including stunning, detailed maps, animated spell effects, unique voices for NPCs, and a curated atmospheric soundtrack to ensure total immersion. As a multi-lingual GM, I bring a diverse range of voices and cultural nuances to the world.
Homebrew rules
I like to stick to the rules for the most part, but I’m totally open to the “rule of cool” when it makes the story more exciting. If you want to try something that’s outside the usual rules, you can spend a use of Inspiration to pull it off. As long as it’s cinematic, fair, and fits the moment, I’m all for letting cool ideas shine! I’m also using renown rules to track each player’s reputation within the city. Don’t worry, I’ll explain how those work in session 0.

How Gabriel Olive creates a safe table
This is an inclusive and safe table. We will have a comprehensive Session 0 to discuss themes, set boundaries using tools like Lines and Veils, and ensure the game is tailored to the comfort and enjoyment of the entire group. My goal is to create a space for challenging storytelling, not uncomfortable players.
