About the adventure

🎓 About the Adventure: Welcome to Brackenfell ✅ Step 1: The Journey Starts Here Your first year begins at Brackenfell Academy for the Adventuring Arts, the most chaotic school in the realm. Professors duel in the faculty lounge, the cafeteria serves mimic meatloaf, and detention is practically an elective. You’ll play as first-year students trying to survive magical mishaps, rivalries, and exams while uncovering the ancient secret that stirs beneath the academy. This campaign blends đŸȘ„ Magical Academia Hijinks – classes that go wildly off the rails 💖 Social Drama – rivals, crushes, and late-night pranks đŸ‘» Mystery and Adventure – something dangerous lurks beneath Brackenfell’s halls ⚔ Action and Growth – teamwork, trials, and the occasional monster in class Tone and Feel: whimsical, mysterious, comedic, heroic, magical Think Fantasy High, Harry Potter, and Persona with a dash of Fire Emblem: Three Houses --- ✅ Step 2: Understanding Play-by-Post Mechanics This is a Play-by-Post game played through text on Discord. Instead of live sessions, we’ll tell the story one post at a time. Each scene is framed by me and occasionally the Mythic GM Emulator, which adds randomness and surprise. You’ll reply with your character’s actions, thoughts, and rolls. The pace is asynchronous, perfect for folks who like to write vivid posts, play at odd hours, and enjoy story-driven adventures that unfold day by day. A big part of this campaign is the solo play-by-post option. When you play one-on-one with me as your GM, my full focus is on you. Every scene, NPC, and plot twist is designed to give you the most engaging and personal experience possible. I bring a high level of dedication to solo play, making sure your story feels rich, alive, and uniquely yours. --- ✅ Step 3: Get to Know Your Guide! I’ll be co-running the world of Brackenfell with the Mythic Game Master Emulator, a narrative oracle that injects fate rolls and unexpected events into our campaign. That means even I won’t always know what happens next. Together, we’ll build a story full of comedy, chaos, and heartfelt student drama. Here’s what you can expect Roleplay Focus: NPCs will be quirky, memorable, and important. Your choices will ripple through the academy Beginner Friendly: Never played Daggerheart before? No problem, I’ll walk you through the rules Safe and Inclusive: LGBTQIA+, POC, and neurodivergent players are all welcome. Respect is non-negotiable Consistent Pacing: You can expect more than three to four posts a day from me, keeping the story alive and moving without leaving you waiting Collaborative Storytelling: Everyone helps shape the academy through rivals, mentors, and campus mysteries --- ✹ Will you be the brave warrior who can’t stop blowing up the alchemy lab, the clever rogue who knows every secret passage, or the shy scholar who finds themselves at the center of a magical conspiracy? One thing is certain. Your first year at Brackenfell will change you forever.

About me

I'm a lifelong fan of storytelling, character development, and collaborative play, with years of experience as a Game Master for a wide range of tabletop RPGs. I've run immersive campaigns for groups both large and small, balancing dramatic narrative arcs with strategic encounters and player-driven choices. My GMing style is rooted in worldbuilding and player empowerment. Whether it’s classic fantasy, grim horror, or something experimental, I aim to craft adventures where players feel their choices matter and their characters leave a lasting mark on the world. I enjoy mixing structured systems like Dungeons & Dragons and Daggerheart with rules-light, story-first games, and I often incorporate unique mechanics like tarot cards or custom tokens to deepen player engagement. Over the years, I’ve also worked on adapting game content for new players, helping onboard fresh faces into the hobby, and creating welcoming, inclusive tables that make space for roleplay, creativity, and personal expression. If you're into meaningful choices, unexpected twists, and collaborative world-shaping, I’m always ready to roll.

Character creation

Creating your character

📝 Character Creation Your characters will be first-year students at Brackenfell Academy, just beginning their journey into chaos, magic, and self-discovery. Think of them as inexperienced adventurers who are still learning their craft. Here’s how we’ll handle character creation When: Characters will be created before the game begins so we can jump right into play once the story starts. Level: All characters start at Level 1 in Daggerheart. Stats: We’ll use Daggerheart’s standard character creation process Tools: You can create your character in two ways 1. Use Demiplane’s character builder. I can share access—just let me know and I’ll set it up for you 2. Fill out a character sheet by hand (pen and paper or digital PDF) and post the finished sheet in Discord Books & Materials: You only need the Daggerheart rules (which I’ll provide references for). Everything else—Brackenfell Academy setting details, custom rules, and Mythic GME twists—will be introduced during play. If you’re new to Daggerheart, don’t worry. I’ll guide you through the steps and help you settle into your role as a Brackenfell student.

What to expect

Make sure you’ll have the time to check in daily—I’ll be posting more than three to four times per day to keep things moving. 5.

That’s it You don’t need Roll20, Foundry, or any other VTT. Just Discord, your character sheet, and your imagination.

What Narezul brings to the table

🎁 What Will I Provide My Players? When you step into Brackenfell, you can expect a game that is lively, consistent, and dedicated to your story. Here’s what I bring to the table as your GM A Dedication to Solo and PbP Play If you choose the solo option, my entire focus is on you. Every post, NPC, and twist is designed to give you a personalized and immersive story. I post more than three to four times a day, so the game never stalls and you always feel momentum. Narrative-Driven Storytelling Brackenfell is about magical chaos, schoolyard drama, and mysterious dangers beneath the academy. I embrace the Rule of Cool—creativity, cleverness, and character-driven choices matter more than strict rules. Dynamic NPCs and Worldbuilding Professors, rivals, ghosts, and cafeteria cooks will all have quirks and depth. Expect colorful personalities who feel like part of a living academy. Rivalries, crushes, and alliances will all shape your experience. Balanced Gameplay You’ll get a mix of lighthearted fun (detention hijinks, Swarzle matches) and tense mystery (uncovering clues about the ancient threat). Combat will be dramatic and narrative-focused, not bogged down in tactical grids. Atmosphere and Tone I lean into written roleplay. While I don’t use ambient music or VTTs for PbP, I make up for it with vivid descriptions, playful NPC dialogue, and collaborative storytelling that makes the academy feel alive. Guidance and Accessibility Whether you’re brand new to Daggerheart or a veteran roleplayer, I’ll walk you through rolls, character options, and mechanics. My Discord community is inclusive, safe, and welcoming for all players.

Safety

How Narezul creates a safe table

đŸ›Ąïž Player Safety and Comfort Your safety, comfort, and enjoyment are my top priorities. Play-by-post games thrive when everyone feels respected and supported, and I work hard to make sure that happens. Private Discord Server The game will take place in a private Discord server, just for you and me. This ensures a safe, dedicated space for your story without distractions from outside chatter. Lines and Veils Channel Inside that server, there will be a specific channel for Lines and Veils. You can post your boundaries there at any time, and they will always be respected. This keeps communication simple and ensures your comfort is always at the center of play. X, N, and O Tools I use a simple text-based system in Discord for safety checks. You can message me directly or drop an X, N, or O in the thread at any time X means stop immediately, the content isn’t okay N means you’re uncomfortable, let’s redirect O means you’re good and enjoying the current direction Inclusive Space All LGBTQIA+, POC, and neurodivergent players are welcome. Bigotry of any kind will not be tolerated. Aftercare If a scene ever lands heavier than expected, I’ll check in with you directly. Because PbP naturally allows breaks between posts, there’s always time to pause, reset, or pivot as needed. No Surprises with Comfort Levels I won’t include horror, gore, or extreme content unless you specifically ask for it. Brackenfell is whimsical and adventurous with hints of mystery, not grimdark.
