About the adventure
🎁 Holiday One-Shots | $5 Seats for New Adventurers A gift for your wallet — and your imagination. This November and December, I’m offering a series of one-shots at a special $5 rate — a small way to keep storytelling accessible through the holidays. New players welcome, returning adventurers encouraged. 🕯️ The Story You want to make a name for yourself, yeah? Lonnore’s full of people with potential—most end up in the gutter. But if you’ve got the guts, there’s work to be had. Your crew is hired by Alanda Graye, a sharp-eyed broker, to retrieve a stolen ledger from the Red Hand gang before sunrise. The job sounds simple: slip into their hideout, grab the book, and get out. But when you see what’s written inside, you’ll face a choice that could make—or ruin—you. In Lonnore, every favor costs more than gold, and every decision leaves a mark. ⚖️ What to Expect • System: Daggerheart (rules taught at the table) • Tone: Gritty urban fantasy / moral intrigue • Themes: Ambition • Betrayal • Loyalty • Survival • Play Style: A blend of tense negotiation, stealth, and quick, cinematic conflict. • Setting: The smog-drenched city of Lonnore, where fortunes are built on lies and burned bridges. ⏳ Game Details • Duration: 3–3.5 hours • Experience: Beginner-friendly — perfect for players new to Daggerheart or returning to the table. • Characters: Choose from pregenerated scoundrels or build your own for this original setting. 🌈 Inclusive Table LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent players are welcomed and celebrated here. Safety tools (including the Deck of Player Safety) are always in play to keep things comfortable and kind. After the session, you’ll get an invite to our Discord community — where players connect, share stories, and join future adventures in the world of Taeval. It’s the best way to keep playing after the holidays. 🗝️ The job’s simple. What you do with it… that’s the hard part.

About me
Hi, I’m Rob Duke (dukeotaku on Discord). I’m a passionate Game Master with 15+ years of experience crafting immersive, player-driven adventures. I’ve hosted 50+ games on StartPlaying and run a variety of systems – from D&D 5E classics to the newest indie RPGs. In fact, I was an early adopter of Daggerheart and Tales of the Valiant, running them from day one. Players have rated me highly for my creativity, teaching approach, and inclusive table, so you can trust that you’re in good hands for a memorable game night. “Rob’s worldbuilding and collaborative style are unparalleled – he makes every character feel crucial to the story.” – ★★★★★ Player Review 🤝🏻 What to Expect in My Games 🤝🏻 ♦️ Story First: Deep characters, meaningful choices, and roleplay-heavy sessions (about 70/30 RP to combat). ♦️ Beginner Friendly: New to tabletop games? I’ll teach you as we play. No prep required — just bring curiosity. ♦️Safety & Comfort: LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent players welcome. I use tools like the Deck of Player Safety to keep play kind and respectful. 📖 Campaign Tones & Genres 📖 I tailor every campaign’s tone to your preferences. Here are some of the flavors I love to run: ♦️ Cozy Fantasy: Warm, feel-good adventures where the stakes are personal and the world feels like home. ♦️ Romantasy: Epic tales of love and magic – heartfelt narratives where relationships drive the story. ♦️ Dark Fantasy: Gritty, suspenseful worlds with morally gray dilemmas. Every choice has weight and consequences. ♦️ Grimdark: Brutal, high-stakes quests where survival isn’t guaranteed. Perfect if you enjoy intense challenges and a darker tone. (Not sure what tone you prefer? We’ll figure it out together in Session 0 so it fits the experience you want!) 🌈 A Community That Lasts 🌈 Join our Discord community, where players hang out between games for watch parties, board-game nights, and creative collaboration.
