About the adventure
Set in the legendary world of Dominaria, this campaign follows a group of adventurers drawn into a conflict that spans continents, ancient empires, and even other planes of existence. Strange forces are stirring across the world—ancient artifacts are resurfacing, old alliances are fracturing, and whispers speak of a looming threat that could reshape reality itself. Players will explore bustling kingdoms, forgotten ruins, and dangerous wilderness while uncovering secrets tied to powerful relics and lost histories. Along the way they will encounter rival factions, legendary heroes, and terrifying enemies, each with their own designs on the future of the world. At the center of it all is a mysterious skyship known as the Weatherlight, whose journey may determine the fate of Dominaria and beyond. --- Using the Cypher System, this is a completely custom campaign setting loosely following the story of Magic the Gathering's Weatherlight Saga. I chose this system for its modularity and narrative focused game design. I have created an entire wiki with maps and lore straight from the card game. Don't worry if you know nothing about Magic the Gathering, Cypher System, or TTRPGs in general. I specialize in introducing new players to the hobby. The Cypher System is easy to learn and I hope to present the setting and story in an easy to follow and approachable way. For the TTRPG vets and MtG nerds out there, I hope to include plenty of opportunities to roleplay your heart out with some of Magic's most iconic characters.

About me
Hi! I'm Ben (a.k.a. EdwinFelspar) By day, I'm a high school teacher specializing in game design electives. By night, I'm a long-time GM with a deep love for storytelling, worldbuilding, and collaborative chaos. After over a decade in the TTRPG space — mostly running D&D 5e — I've decided to bring my games to StartPlaying to challenge myself, meet new players, and help fund the hobby I love. Let’s tell unforgettable stories together.

Creating your character
Pre-Generated character sheets will be provided. There will also be a session zero and time outside of the sessions to create your own character inspired by the world of Dominaria. Access to the core rulebook along with custom character creation content and a step by step guide will be provided.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
The game will be played over Discord. At this time no other programs are needed. I am looking into Foundry and waiting for a Roll20 package to be released Summer 2026 in the updated system from their successful Kickstarter last year. Cypher System is very narrative based so we shouldn't need a VTT.
What Ben brings to the table
I have an extensive wiki created on LegendKeeper. A discord server for communication and playing the game. Access to the core books and handouts introducing the Cypher System. I will run a very narrative and roleplay heavy game with snappy combat. My number one goal is to create a sense of high adventure and fun.
Homebrew rules
I have a number of custom mechanics based off the Cypher System rules included in my game including rules for ship to ship combat that should be fun and fast paced.

How Ben creates a safe table
We will run through an extensive session zero to set table norms and behavioral expectations. If there is a system that people are familiar with and would like to include I am happy to accomodate. But I find, like with my classroom, the best solution is just to speak up and talk through situations. My DM's are always open here and on Discord so any issues in or out of session I am open to discuss and will do my best to handle discreetly.
