About the adventure
Build your crew, take on heists and rake in the reward! You start from the bottom, living in poverty. Things could always get worse. Especially if you do nothing. Where did you come from? How long have you endured What have the streets taught you? That's up to you, as you develop your scoundrel from one of the various "Playbooks". Plan together with your crew as you utilize advantages to gain an upper hand to bring the job to completion. But be aware, "sometimes even the best laid plans of mice & men go awry". Your reputation will be tested. Your actions will draw attention. Each success brings you closer to a life of luxury and glory. But there will be trials along the way. Nothing is trivial. Enemies act with purpose. Sessions will be geared toward player preference, lead by narratives in a dark and challenging world where every action has a consequence. Your choices - or lack there of - matter. Expect grit with heart. High stakes with moments of triumph. Tension that makes victory matter. Don't stop until you have achieved your ultimate goals, or die trying.

Meet the Game Master
About me
Greetings, fellow adventurers! I am Kiefer Seeley, a seasoned Game Master, talented voice actor, and devout follower of Christ. It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance! From an early age, I was fortunate to be encouraged to unleash my imagination and nurture my creativity through play. Whether engaging in epic battles against invisible monsters or embracing the thrill of superhuman speed, these childhood adventures laid the foundation for my profound passion for the realm of fantasy. Through the guidance of my faith, this passion has led me to my current role as a Super-Hero! I have the privilege of hosting parties as various heroes or mascots, such as Batman, Spiderman, a minion, a pup from Paw Patrol, and many more! During my free time, you can often find me immersed in games like Civilization 6, Frostpunk, and Overwatch, or preparing for exhilarating Dungeons and Dragons campaigns as either a player or a game master. Beyond my love for the fantastical, I am also a devoted lover of animals. With extensive experience in raising pets and delving into their nature and behaviors, I have developed a profound understanding of our furry companions. Currently, I am the proud owner of two cats who regularly bless our family with adorable kittens before finding them suitable forever homes. Alongside my affinity for animals, I have a natural affinity for children as well. Being the eldest of five siblings and actively volunteering in various kids ministries, I have honed my patience and forged meaningful relationships with individuals of all ages. I am eager and excited to embark on this adventure together with all of you. Let us delve into the vast realms of imagination and create unforgettable stories and experiences that will leave us inspired and enthralled. May our journey be filled with joy, camaraderie, and the endless wonders that await us!

What Kiefer brings to the table
I am a professional actor, including but not limited to voice acting. I am well studies in story tools which I utilize for a more dynamic experience, where your choices are taken deeply into consideration. I follow more of a RAW GM style, though with occasional homebrew to enhance player experience. Music plays over Roll20. Full Roll20 Pro subscription; my compendium is shared, offering you access to all the same material I have purchased on the platform for the system. My Discord is more then a place to show up once a week for a game session - it is a community. Engage in social interaction as much or as little as you like, with memes, polls, and occasional event nights where I offer complimentary One Shots from various systems. Feel free to send me a message through Discord at any time, but please make sure to gain permission from other players before sending direct messages to them. I may not be available to respond instantly, but will respond as soon as possible. My table should be a safe, and fun experience for everyone involved.
Homebrew rules
Blades in the Dark has much open for interpretation. I do offer a "Court Room" in my Discord where rules and decisions may be challenged. To keep the flow of the game, I have the final verdict in the moment, and will re-visit any questioned rulings over the week. - I put this in Homebrew rules, because "Blades in the Dark" in particular has a lot that isn't fully fleshed out, or entirely clear.
