About the adventure
Fifty years have passed since the Clank Rebellion War; a brutal conflict that gave the Clank their freedom from their creators; the man-races, but left kingdoms broken and alliances strained. Now, Astrylis stands in a rare era of peace. Borders are open, trade flows freely, and for the first time in generations, blades lie sheathed. Yet beneath this calm surface, old grudges simmer, new powers quietly rise, and shadows creep at the edges of the realm as foreign invaders see times of peace as opportunities to take. This is a world still healing, yet full of opportunities for heroes, or those who would shape it to their own design. You may find yourselves delving into forgotten ruins, navigating courtly intrigue, unearthing dangerous relics, or standing against threats that could shatter the fragile balance Astrylis clings to. In Astrylis, the choices are yours to make, the stories yours to tell… and peace is never guaranteed.

About me
I’m a passionate Game Master with a deep love for storytelling, immersive roleplay, and cinematic gameplay. I’ve been running tabletop RPGs for several years, with a focus on Daggerheart, Cyberpunk RED, Masks and more recently diving into some horror systems like Mothership. I specialise in crafting adventures with strong narrative arcs, dynamic NPCs, and a focus in player-driven choices that shape the world. My background includes years of experience in creative project management, which I now pour into building engaging campaigns, and memorable one-shots. Whether you’re a brand new player or a seasoned veteran, my goal is to create a fun, inclusive, and welcoming table where everyone gets a chance to shine. I love blending roleplay with tactical encounters, mystery, and moments of levity, and I’ll always make sure your character has a place in the story. Let’s roll some dice and tell an epic story together!

Creating your character
Character Creation Guidelines: • Platform: Characters can be created in the Daggerheart Nexus via Demiplane as I have a subscription to the online companion tool and will share it with my players with a code once in the discord, so that all your digital needs will be taken care of. All player characters will be visible on the Discord via a Player Character Sheet for each player. Keeping track of levels, abilities, and progression is the player’s responsibility. • Level: Characters will begin at Level 1 (unless otherwise noted). • Races & Classes: All official Daggerheart Ancestries and classes are welcome in Astrylis. If your backstory relies on ancestry-specific lore, please check in with me first to make sure it aligns with the world. • Prologue Scene: Character creation should be completed before play begins. A short 1 to 1 Prologue scene for each character will help tie characters into the setting and into each other’s stories.
New Players are welcome to join this quest to slay the formidable Kraken; the weapon of the gods. You would be fighting alongside a Human Warlock with a Patron of Death itself. A no-nonsense Katari Ranger. A Lamia wizard of time and space. And a Katari Rogue with a vendetta against the tentacled monstrosity.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
This campaign is entirely narrative based, as it is a collaborative novel style Play-By-Post, therefore all that is needed is access to the Tasty Games discord which a link is provided upon sign-up.
What KingTasty (Elliot) brings to the table
What I Provide as Your GM: My Play-by-Post style is that of a collaborative novel: narrative-driven, character-focused, and shaped by the choices you make. Expect rich storytelling, meaningful character development, and plenty of opportunities to explore your backstories and relationships within the world of Astrylis. I always prioritise fun and story over strict mechanical rules. For Play-by-Post to flow smoothly and ensure every character has their time to shine, I streamline certain systems and avoid getting bogged down in nitpicky mechanics. This keeps the pace steady while still delivering the excitement of combat, the tension of intrigue, and the satisfaction of problem-solving. You can expect: • A narrative-heavy style that feels like co-authoring a novel. • Collaborative worldbuilding and opportunities to weave your character into the lore and help make their mark on the sandbox world of Astrylis. • Flexible rulings that embrace the Rule of Cool over rules lawyering. • Streamlined systems designed specifically for Play-by-Post pacing. • A focus on character arcs, relationships, and impactful storytelling. In Astrylis, the focus is on collaboration, creativity, and narrative… not crunch. Come ready to tell an unforgettable story together.

Safety
How KingTasty (Elliot) creates a safe table
Players will be kept safe with consistent openness. An open door policy with the GM will allow players a voice, and lines and veils are always welcome and respected. With the play by post format, there’s always time to take breaks and have some ‘bleed’ between big or intense moments.
