About the adventure
Setting: Fantasy Year: 1178 ⚔️ Practice riding, swordplay, spear training, jousting, and other martial skills 🎓 Learn courtly manners, heraldry, reading and writing 🛡️ Act as the knight’s combat aide, providing assistance on the battlefield THE STORY: Sir Tally was a peculiar knight. Born to a noble family, he inherited a wealthy estate. During his service to the Queen, he partook in three campaigns, earning numerous titles and decorations. He fancied himself a popular and distinguished gentleman—and a deadly swordsman. Truth is, he was neither. He was average at best in swordplay and terrible at securing alliances with other highborn families. Nobody really liked him, and nobody understood how he managed to survive three grueling campaigns when knights better than he had perished. The answer to that question lies solely in the hands of his faithful squires(you and your companions). This is the story of their training years, and how they managed to save Sir Tally’s head on several occasions, without him ever suspecting who his guardian angels were. Sidenote: Viable for both experienced and new players. Create a level 1 character, or I can send you a pre-generated character sheet.

About me
Well met! I’ve been GM-ing since 2019, running everything from one-shots to a three-year bi-weekly campaign. My style of storytelling tends to be gritty, character-driven fantasy with enough humor to bring out occasional laughs from folks. I draw inspiration from writers like Joe Abercrombie, George R. R. Martin & Robin Hobb. I'm also influenced by video games: The Witcher, Shadow of Colossus, etc. At my table, player freedom is at the core. I enjoy when players test the limits of my imagination and push the story in an unforeseen situation. I tend to return that favor, putting players in a situation where they have to improvise on the fly, which can be a daunting task. Yet individuals who enjoy that type of challenge tend to have a great time in my games. My goal is always to create a vivid theatre-of-the-mind experience where players can unleash their creativity and leave with unforgettable stories. I favour Theater-of-the-Mind style GM-ing because we want to mimic a real life table experience as closely as possible.
