About the adventure
In the continent of Althas, the composite regions have had a tenuous peace amongst them for five years after the decade long war that has ravaged the continent and left it in a state of disarray. Five nations within the continent — Armada, Hilltop, Jesthaen, Polaris and Voldaen — have an intricate web of alliances and rivalries, each nation wants to get whatever edge they can over the other. Through these alliances, they strengthen their positions while undermining the others, creating the environment that they currently live in now — with the threat of all out conflict looming over the continent, and the armistice being breached. ─────────────────────────────────────────────── System: Daggerheart Campaign Expectations: High Political Intrigue, Stand By Character Principles, Conflict Resolution/Navigation. Themes: Politics, Survival, Divided Loyalties, Tradition vs. Innovation, Power Mongering/Grubbing, Cloak and Dagger. LGBTQIA+ Inclusive! We will be playing on Roll20 and Discord, with customized ambient soundscapes from Syrinscape/my own mixes and music player bots on Discord. You will simply need FREE accounts to Roll20 and Discord, and I'll do the rest! Character creation will be handled at Session 0. The only thing you need to bring to the table is some narrative ideas for your characters, and a collaborative attitude. My tables are best suited to players who like to experience as well as craft a narratively cohesive story. If you're looking for optimized play or minmaxing, this is not the game nor the system for it. I hope to see you at the table! Cheers, Ajna ♡

About me
An organized and intuitive story-teller with over 4 years of experience in GMing varied kinds of TTRPGs - including but not limited to DND, Daggerheart and the Good Society TTRPG. As your GM/DM/Storyteller, this is what you can expect from any of my tables: ♡ 𝐍𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐈𝐦𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧: By appropriate use of ambient music, narrative indicators and engaging storytelling, I make my "theater of the mind" games come to life with my own personal flourishes. ♡ 𝐒𝐚𝐟𝐞 𝐀𝐭𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐩𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞: As an asexual woman of colour, it is increasingly important to me that my tables reflect my continued drive to make TTRPGs a safe environment within which anyone can thrive and enjoy, no matter what their background or orientation is. I aim always to uphold a golden standard of table etiquette in all of my games. ♡ 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐞𝐫-𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲: Another one of my crucial focuses in any game is the willingness to deliver a very player-driven experience. All of the adventures I run are exploration heavy, with the onus of it on the players and their wishes! Every adventure is tailor-made for the general energy and vibe of the group, as well as everyone's individual and collective goals. ♡ 𝐁𝐚𝐥𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐝 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲: Though my games boast being roleplay-driven, they are not lacking in tactical or crunchy play and heavy combat scenarios. I take great care to deliver a balanced game that will suit the needs of every player in the party, and my versatile GMing style allows for such flexibility. ♡ 𝐀 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐃𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐚: Needless to say, I am influenced quite a lot by online live play GMs and their styles, chief among them being Brennan Lee Mulligan and Matthew Mercer. I draw a lot of inspiration from their approach to TTRPGs as well as the examples they set in their many campaigns, and I always strive to make the narrative experience something for all of my players to remember. I try my best to weave in humanistic and philosophical elements into my stories, with dramatic flairs that I have always loved to incorporate! ♡ 𝐒𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐅𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐲𝐨𝐧𝐞: As an inclusive GM, I try and cover a whole spectrum of topics. Everyone is welcome at my table: whether you're a complete novice or a seasoned player, you will find something to enjoy about my games. Whether you're here just to have fun or you want a serious and dramatic roleplay/narrative experience, or you want tough and dynamic combat that you really need to think on your feet to get through successfully — my games are the place for you! More than anything, I find satisfaction from my work here when you, the player, have simply had a marvelous time and have left each session with a sense of wanting more! So, I hope you 𝑑𝑜 answer the call for adventurers and join one of my games — and let's have a great time telling some riveting stories! ( P.S.: Credit for Icon Art goes to @ShionsLife. )

Creating your character
We will be using Demiplane to make the player characters. This will happen only in Session 0, so pre-made characters are not going to be available. We will be starting level 1, and your characters will be given the opportunity to have pre-existing bonds and connections with everyone else.
Though the Session 0 has already happened, please feel free to join the table and claim those last 2 seats! I will speak to you likely on Sunday night/Monday Night/Tuesday Morning before Session 1 and catch you up with everything discussed! This is really the week to join an intense, emotionally charged, RP heavy campaign before we get started in earnest with our very first session on the 4th. :)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Even before Session 0, you should have accounts in these following software services and sites: Discord (free) Roll20 (free) Demiplane (free) Once done, you will be invited to join me on discord, and a welcoming community server of about 70 people (all players from my other campaigns and one shots!)
What Ajna brings to the table
Ambient music, memorable character voices (as best as is possible), Demiplane content sharing, elaborate battle maps, a Roll20 Plus game server that will have a few bells and whistles, vivid narrative descriptions, RPG safety tools, and a great deal of mystery. As some of the reviews have said, I adopt a "player friendly" mentality, and at any point of time within the campaign, your continued collective fun is my top priority. I never give my players anything in game that their characters cannot handle, and I ALWAYS ensure that everyone is on the same page about boundaries, lines, veils, and general player safety.

How Ajna creates a safe table
At the start of any campaign, I implore the party to set up boundaries and share them with the table, and I invite them to read the "table etiquette" channel that I have expressly set up to ensure that everyone gets a fair comprehension of what one may be able to expect from my table, and what I expect from them. I also link people to the deck of player safety, so that they don't need to feel put on the spot and they may anonymously turn in any hard line boundaries they may have for subject matters in this campaign. This is how I ensure player safety and comfort above all else.
