About the adventure
You've been summoned to the estate of a wealthy merchant mounting an expedition into the uncharted southern forest. Whispers swirl about his true intentions; some say he's chasing an ancient ruin, others claim he's mad, but the gold he's offering is very real. Over dinner with the other expeditionaries, the details will be revealed: the destination, the dangers, and why crossing into lands claimed by wild fae requires more than coin. What begins as a lucrative contract becomes something stranger and more perilous than anyone expected. This is a complete 4-session adventure using Daggerheart, where you'll learn the system through play. No prior experience needed; just show up ready to see where the story leads.

About me
Your story, my world. Let's make something unforgettable. I've been running TTRPG campaigns professionally for over a decade, and here's what I've learned: the best stories happen when your choices actually matter. I don't write scripts. I don't railroad. I build Etharis; a living, breathing high-fantasy world with deep immersive lore and marks left by all my past tables, where the game system is just a means to tell our tale; and then I hand you the wheel. You want to betray the quest-giver? Burn down the tavern? Charm the villain and turn them into an ally? You can certainly try. I come from a background in film and game art, so I treat every session like a production. Professional VTT setup (Foundry), custom maps, reference art, and enough prep to improvise anything you throw at me. Whether you're a veteran looking for deep roleplay or a newbie who wants to learn in a welcoming space, I'll meet you where you are. My games go from gritty intrigue to bombastic heroism; with just enough absurdity to keep us laughing years later. If you want a GM who listens, adapts, and narrates stories with you instead of at you, let's talk.

Creating your character
We'll go over character creation during the first half of our first session. Characters will be created inside of Foundry VTT, and we'll go over character creation together, giving shape to your character as a member of the expedition. Players that join after the first session will go over the same process during a scheduled 1 on 1 meeting outside of game hours.

Safety
How Martin (The Fate weaver) creates a safe table
Everyone's opinions should be heard and respected at the table, approaching roleplay with a Yes And open mentality. No comments on real world issues such as politics or religion are allowed during game time. Cameras will be encouraged, and accommodations will be put in place upon requests. We'll make use of a lines and veils rule, fading to black and resolving the outcome on a narrative form. After each session we'll take 5 minutes to go over wishes and requests for characters to go through, as well as a little bit of feedback and thoughts about the session.
