About the adventure
You have ridden the length of Estera in pursuit of the Queen’s Blessing. From river fields and windswept downs to coastal greens and northern stone, you have tested your steel beneath many banners. Now, at last, the road leads to Highcrown. On the final day of spring, the greatest champions of the circuit will gather in honor of Queen Adelynn Thane. Pavilions bloom like bright flowers along the lists, silk snapping in the wind, while lords and ladies lean forward in bright anticipation. Here, reputations precede you. Here, every name carries weight. The joust stands at the heart of the celebration — two armored knights charging beneath painted heraldry, lances leveled, destriers pounding the earth until it trembles. A rider unhorsed must rise swiftly, dust clinging to polished steel, and bow before the watching realm. Beyond the lists waits the grand melee, a roaring crucible where endurance and nerve are tested all at once. Archers loose for precision and acclaim, and mock battles clash in disciplined fury, each contest shaping the path toward the final reckoning. For this is no single day’s sport. Victories won across the circuit echo here. Old rivalries have ripened. New legends strain to be born. A purse may be claimed, a favor bestowed, a name remembered—but in Highcrown, before Queen and court alike, something greater is at stake. When the sun lowers in its golden descent and the last cheer rises from the field, one truth will remain: some arrived as heroes. Only a few will leave as legends. 🗓 Circuit Schedule Tuesday, March 3 — 7:30pm EST ⚔️ The Fields of Valmere Thursday, March 12 — 7:30pm EST 🌿 Littlewood Green Tuesday, March 17 — 7:30pm EST 🏹 Ilminster Commons Thursday, March 26 — 7:30pm EST 🌾 Brightwater Downs Tuesday, March 31 — 7:30pm EST 👑 Ardendale — The High Lists at Kings’ Square

About me
Hi, I’m Rob Duke (dukeotaku on Discord). I’m a passionate Game Master with 15+ years of experience crafting immersive, player-driven adventures. I’ve hosted 50+ games on StartPlaying and run a variety of systems – from D&D 5E classics to the newest indie RPGs. In fact, I was an early adopter of Daggerheart and Tales of the Valiant, running them from day one. Players have rated me highly for my creativity, teaching approach, and inclusive table, so you can trust that you’re in good hands for a memorable game night. “Rob’s worldbuilding and collaborative style are unparalleled – he makes every character feel crucial to the story.” – ★★★★★ Player Review 🤝🏻 What to Expect in My Games 🤝🏻 ♦️ Story First: Deep characters, meaningful choices, and roleplay-heavy sessions (about 70/30 RP to combat). ♦️ Beginner Friendly: New to tabletop games? I’ll teach you as we play. No prep required — just bring curiosity. ♦️Safety & Comfort: LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent players welcome. I use tools like the Deck of Player Safety to keep play kind and respectful. 📖 Campaign Tones & Genres 📖 I tailor every campaign’s tone to your preferences. Here are some of the flavors I love to run: ♦️ Cozy Fantasy: Warm, feel-good adventures where the stakes are personal and the world feels like home. ♦️ Romantasy: Epic tales of love and magic – heartfelt narratives where relationships drive the story. ♦️ Dark Fantasy: Gritty, suspenseful worlds with morally gray dilemmas. Every choice has weight and consequences. ♦️ Grimdark: Brutal, high-stakes quests where survival isn’t guaranteed. Perfect if you enjoy intense challenges and a darker tone. (Not sure what tone you prefer? We’ll figure it out together in Session 0 so it fits the experience you want!) 🌈 A Community That Lasts 🌈 Join our Discord community, where players hang out between games for watch parties, board-game nights, and creative collaboration.
