About the adventure

In this original system by John Harper (of "Lasers and Feelings" and "Blades in the Dark" fame), you will embark on a steampunk spacefaring adventure to escort the noble Lady Blackbird from a horrible arranged marriage and across the galaxy to her secret lover, the pirate king himself! You'll need to escape capture aboard an imperial vessel, navigate across space and find the hidden lair of the pirate king to reunite them. Lady Blackbird uses a d6 pool system where you'll seek a number of successes based on the difficulty of the task. We'll lean heavily on improvisation and roleplay to create a wholly custom scenario from the foundation we've been provided, where each visit to this world is a unique and interesting take on the narrative. Will you be able to reunite the lost lovers? Is the pirate king still interested in the wayward noblewoman Lady Blackbird? Will the imperial forces hinder the attempt? Or might you encounter other spacefaring scoundrels along the way? Let's find out together! ───── β‹†β‹…β˜†β‹…β‹† ────────── β‹†β‹…β˜†β‹…β‹† ────────── β‹†β‹…β˜†β‹…β‹† ───── 🀩 "Bryan is fantastic, I've been a player in one of his groups for the better part of a year now and both the quality of game thats been provided and the environment which he has cultivated are beyond reproach." - Zac 🀩 "Bryan is great at adjusting to player choices and is excellent at improvisation. [...] This the most I've been invested in a character in a long time." - Cece 🀩 "His combats are fun, and he is very engaging when describing what happens within the game. It's very easy to tell he puts a lot of effort into his games, and is incredibly attentive to his players wants and needs. I cannot recommend his games enough." - Trey 🀩 "He is amazing! I've been playing D&D for 18 years and he's one of the the best GMs I've ever had the pleasure of playing with. Encourages player creativity and is great for beginner and veterans of the game. He help reignite my passion for the game, where even my own players noticed a difference in my GMing." - Alexander

About me

I'm Bryan (he/him/40yo), and I've been GMing since I started improvising games with my friends 26 years ago. I enjoy running thematic, engaging games, incorporating music, handouts, and other elements to make each game feel alive. As a military veteran, I know what it's like to wrangle a group of people from different backgrounds, and I use that to facilitate the engaging and memorable games I host. I enjoy combat, but I think it's important to balance that with social roleplay, puzzles, and other interactions. Everything should happen with purpose and drive the game forward. Let's roll some dice!
