About the adventure
This is a campaign about family. It's about what happens when the law is corrupt, the truth doesn't matter, and the only people you can rely on are the ones who share your blood. All player characters are the adult members of the same family. You were raised together by two loving parents who chose a quiet life on the coast. Your family lives simply, working as fishers & traders near the sea learning the skills you'll need in the future The land has always been good to you & the waters are generous. When a wealthy Fish Monger with powerful ties moves to seize your family’s land and livelihood, your life is torn apart. What starts as a verbal dispute turns violent. The law turns its back on you, the truth stops mattering, & you're forced into exile with nothing but each other. What begins as a fight to protect your home becomes a story of loss, revenge, and discovery. Over time you'll learn that your family was never as ordinary as it seemed, and that your home stood at the edge of something far larger than any of you understood.

About me
Greetings, I'm Cake! I'm your easy going facilitator of both in-person and online quests in Dungeons and Dragons 5e, Daggerheart, & Call of Cthulhu. I've been a storyteller my whole life, but about six years ago I fell in love with the TTRPG medium & I haven't looked back! The art of creating adventures and crafting tales has captivated me since my childhood & now that I've found TTRPGS, these wild ideas have been evolving into handcrafted memorable campaigns. I like to blend fantasy, horror, & humor into a a few hours of gaming where we can just sink into our characters & the scenes. Shared storytelling is one of my favorite things about TTRPGs, as a DM, I set up the world & you knock it down, sometimes literally... Join me on our collective journey through thrilling escapades, where laughter, challenges, and unforeseen surprises await. Together, we'll co-create stories and forge memories to live in our hearts forever.

What Cake brings to the table
Music, art, voices, & a love of story! There will be plenty of combat, but the emotional through line is always the family. The group will choose the family name together during Session 0. This campaign begins grounded and personal, then expands into a larger and stranger world over time. In Session 0, we will also decide the Bonds and Relationships between family members. You choose how close, strained, or complicated those relationships are. **This listing covers Arc One, Levels 1–5. Later arcs may extend beyond this range if the group wants to continue.**
