About the adventure
You and your crew of misfits are the only thing standing between the frontier you call home and the gigantic colossi roaming the wastes. Track these titans across sun-scorched deserts, climb them to find weak points, and strike them down before they flatten every saloon and general store in sight! Along the way, you’ll encounter ruthless outlaws, eccentric prospectors, con artists peddling snake oil, mysterious cults, and the strange and terrible truth of the dead god buried beneath the sands. Experience my take on the Colossus of the Drylands campaign frame, inspired by Red Dead Redemption and Shadow of the Colossus, with a healthy dose of Weird West campiness!

About me
Hi there! I’m Jim and I’m the one in my photo that isn’t a Wookie! Several years ago, I picked up a D&D Starter Set, ran it as a duet for my partner, and fell in love with this incredible hobby! Since then, it has slowly consumed my life: I started GMing at my local game shop, ran a pile of one shots, and now I'm several campaigns deep! I own more PDFs than I could ever get through in a human lifetime and I'm still buying new ones whenever I see something cool. 😅 I’ve also written and run several custom adventures, including a multi-table Epic, and I’m the lead editor and rules contributor for "Echoes of the Veil", a weird-cyberpunk FitD system, which had a successful Kickstarter earlier this year! My current preferred system is Daggerheart, and I’m also still very comfortable running D&D 5e and Pathfinder 2e. I’m really excited by Draw Steel and Fabula Ultima, but I haven't gotten a chance to play them yet (if you want to give them a go, hit me up 😉). I do not use AI-generated content(ChatGPT, Midjourney, etc.) in my games!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Characters will start at level 1 and should be created using Daggerheart Nexus, which I’ll provide access to. You can use all currently available options from the core game. Playtest content from the Void may also available on a case-by-case basis. Just ask and we can discuss your idea! We’ll finalize characters during Session 0, create backstories, establish relationships, and make sure everyone’s ready to ride into the desert. Feel free to reach out via StartPlaying or Discord ahead of time to brainstorm character ideas or ask questions!
The current party is: A nameless Warborne Drakona Call of the Brave Warrior Emmi, a Ridgeborne Faun Hedge Witch Viktor, a Highborne Infernis-Faerie Warden of the Elements Druid

Safety
How Jim creates a safe table
My table is always a safe space for femme, LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent players. My goal is to create a welcoming, collaborative space where you feel safe, supported, and free to fully enjoy the story. During Session 0, we’ll discuss play styles, group goals, and the tone of the adventure. We’ll also set clear boundaries using Lines and Veils and go over the use X, N, and O cards so everyone can signal comfort levels during play.
