At the height of industrialism where magic meets technology, humanity struggles to keep its place in the world, they must find new ways to stay relevant.

About me
Hi there! I am Alyx Gupta! I'm a professional dungeon master that has been playing alot of TTRPGs for about 5 years now. I also stream an actual play dungeons and dragons podcast on twitch!

Creating your character
Character Creation will be happening either before session 0 or during the session 0, you don't have to have a webcam but a mic is an asset. Players have a choice between making their character with me in a one on one session 0, during the session 0 with the other players or having one of the pre gen characters offered by demiplane. Players can use either their own dice or an online dice roller. A link will be provided to Demiplane to help you create your character! You can also ask for a google drive link to a pdf copy of the character sheet if youd prefer not to make another account for another website! Players are able to book a one on one session 0 to create their characters! If you have any questions about the games world and how magic will work please feel free to ask!

How Dylan/Alyx creates a safe table
Players are encouraged to DM me before the session for any Lines or Veils that the player has. If the player discovers any potential triggers they are encouraged to let me know to ensure that the player can continue enjoy the game. Players are also encouraged to take breaks whenever they feel they need to during the session. All sessions will have a 10-15 minute break halfway-three quarters into the session. There will be a stars and wishes chat in the discord that can be used post session. Daggerheart as a game has a stress based system so players can expect to have some heavy topics brought up during the campaign. Make sure to message me about any triggers or anything that makes you uncomfortable before joining this campaign. Please feel free to let me know during game if something is making you uncomfortable so i am able to call for a break time for us.
