About the adventure
-> TLDR: This campaign is about a legendary mercenary band clawing its way back from betrayal to take bloody vengeance in a world where the gods are dead, and their power is up for the taking. It is ideal for players who enjoy brutal combat, Norse-inspired myth, grimdark survival, and character-driven stories of loyalty, wrath, and revenge. -> Experience a world where Yggdrasil burns across the sky, elves march in genocidal fury, warlords crown themselves gods, and the last Dragons guard secrets older than the myths themselves. The world is soaked in blood and ash, its legends shattered and reforged into weapons. Here, power is claimed with iron and fire. And mercy is a weakness that gets you killed. -> What to expect as a player: 🔹 An inclusive environment for all identities, in and out of game 🔹 A beginner-friendly table that is still engaging and interesting to more advanced players 🔹 Shaping a brutal world forged by the choices of the table, built around the backstories of our characters and the interests of the party. 🔹 Fighting tooth and claw with monstrous enemies in fast, savage combat where every blow matters. 🔹 Forging uneasy alliances and rivalries with powerful patrons, jarls, exiled gods, tragic trolls, and cunning dragons. 🔹 Exploring a diverse open-world sandbox using Hex Crawl mechanics driven by the personal myths, tragic histories, and secrets of the Blackbirds. -> This campaign will begin with a sudden betrayal and horrendous slaughter. The Blackbirds are shattered by their own. Broken, hunted, and left for dead, the survivors flee into the frozen wilds, carrying only their scars and their hatred. From the snow and blood of a mountain of fire, and an uneasy alliance with a Dragon and her cult, vengeance will rise...

Hello there! I'm Kenny, an experienced professional and full-time gamemaster. With a background in creative writing (B.A.), game design (A.A.), and certifications in narrative design, I bring both structure and spontaneity to every session. I've also designed my own adventure paths, campaign settings, and mechanics, giving me a deep understanding of how story and mechanics can work hand-in-hand. My true passion lies in collaborative storytelling, weaving unforgettable adventures through improv, roleplay, and the dynamic systems of TTRPGs. Whether you're new to the table or a seasoned dice-roller, I’m here to help you explore new worlds, tell epic stories, and, most importantly, have a blast doing it!

Safety
How KT Beauchamp creates a safe table
To ensure a safe and comfortable environment for all players, I use the following safety tools: ✅ A consent form all members of the group must complete. This will determine Lines & Veils ✅ Session zero to discuss concerns, boundaries, and themes before the game begins ✅ At least one 10-15 minute break in the middle of the session ✅ Open door policy. Contact me any time with questions or concerns ✅ In games of darker themes I enjoy running loose and humorous games when possible. The object of the game is to have fun. ___ --> What a player will experience in this Campaign | Rating out of five skulls | Roleplaying - 💀💀💀💀💀 Exploration - 💀💀💀💀 Tactics/Combat - 💀💀💀 Politics - 💀💀 Puzzles - 💀 RATING: R CONTENT WARNING: BLACKBIRDS deals with dark and existential themes.
