About the adventure
Always thought Daggerheart looked like so much fun and always wanted to play? Are you a fan of fun, engaging and role play, combat and high jinks at the table? Then please do read on! Welcome to The Sablewood! A sprawling forest with ancient trees that seem to touch the heavens above. Indeed, some say these trees have been there since a time before the gods, adding to its mystique and legend. The wood is famous for its curious fauna as well. There are rumors of creature with the body of a lemur, and the face of a toad, and beasts with the body of a tiger, but the head of a gentle elk. Most tales come from the many merchants that travel the forest roads, and such animals range from the oddly cuddly, to the deceptively fierce. The party are heading to the village of Hush, a village known for its warm and welcoming populace, and their worship of the Forgotten Gods, even know though the names of those divines have been lost to time. Our adventurers have been tasked with delivering a mysterious and magically sealed crate on behalf of Marlowe Fairwind, personal sorcerer to high-king King Emeris himself, to the Whitefire Arcanist in the village. Surely a simple task for our band of plucky heroes? Join our wonderful one shot adventure to find out!

About me
Hello to all you wonderful players and fellow GMs! My name is Cosmo The GM and Iāve been running and playing games of D&D since 2019, and Iāve loved playing roleplay video games ever since I first played the first 'Legend of Zelda' game on the NES way back in the early 90s. Since then, I've gone on to fall in love with and play many RPGs, from many of the Final Fantasy games, to Skyrim and the Witcher 3, to the modern masterpiece of Baldur's Gate 3. When I first played D&D, it sparked a passion in me that has brought me so much joy. The ability to be able to tell collaborative stories with friends and strangers, who then became good friends, alike. While I still love video games, they are still limited somewhat by their coding and programming. D&D and other TTRPGs are more or less limited by your imagination, and that has huge appeal. Live play shows and the work of DMs like Matt Mercer, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Matt Corville, Ginny Di, The Dungeon Dudes and many more have influenced me. If you enjoy tables where with a focus on collaborative storytelling, rich and vibrant worlds, colorful and memorable NPCs, crunchy and challenging combat, with the odd puzzle thrown in, then please contact me about joining one of my established games. I am also open to running games for your own private games. Away from TTRPGs, I am an aspiring voice actor, amateur improv comedy performer and a lover of video games, reading, music and travel. Sign up to a game today. Iād love to see you at my table!
