About the adventure
A century has passed since the God-King Othedias betrayed the Pantheon, bringing divine wrath that shattered the Halcyon Domain and left it cursed, desolate, and forsaken. Now, among ruins drowned in shadow and stalked by monstrosities, scattered communities cling to fragile hope against eternal night. In an Age of Umbra campaign, you and your party will take the role of heroic survivors—guardians of the last lights—who defend their people, brave the nightmare-haunted wilds, seek the truths behind the curses, and perhaps discover a way to reshape the fate of this broken world. Join Age of Umbra, a dark fantasy D&D campaign where you’ll learn Daggerheart, explore a cursed world, and rise as a force of good against evil.

About me
Hello! I’m Ron, a Game Master focused on providing engaging role-playing, exploration, and challenging combat encounters. I customize games to suit player preferences while ensuring they have agency within the D&D pillars. My RPG journey began with AD&D, and I've been running games nearly as long as I've been playing, covering most D&D editions and currently running D&D 5E, Pathfinder 2, and Daggerheart. While I'm no rules encyclopedia, I prioritize "rulings over rules" to keep the game flowing, correcting any missed rules as we go. One of my favorite aspects of RPGs is collaboratively building narratives with players, integrating character backstories into our campaigns, whether homebrew or published. I believe that if you're paying for a DM, you deserve professionalism. I’ll be punctual, prepared, and respectful, treating you as a valued customer. I communicate well and am easily reachable between sessions. For online play, I use tools like Foundry VTT, Roll20, Discord, DNDBeyond, and Demiplane/Pathfinder Nexus. If you’re looking for a fun and satisfying RPG experience, give one of my games a try!

Creating your character
I will share my Daggerheart resources through Demiplane (similar to DNDB). Demiplane accounts are free for players. Character creation can begin as soon as you sign up for the game and I will be available to answer questions right away. Additionally, we will have a FREE session zero where character creation will be on of the main focuses.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players should have the following: Discord Account (free) Demiplane Account (free) Forge/Foundry Account (free) Players also have a computer, mic, and (optional) webcam.
What DM Ron brings to the table
I bring years of experience running games, although - just like most people - I am still learning Daggerheart. I will provide player access to the Daggerheart Core Rule books, a VTT experience that includes great art, maps, and music, and an enthusiasm for TTRPGs!
