About the adventure

They call it a Godwound: the place where divinity struck down the primordial and sealed it forever. "Forever" might be ending. You march at first dawn with visionaries and knights, bearing holy mandate into the eastern wilds. The beasts know you're coming. Whatever sleeps beneath the seal is waking. One of you might make it back to warn the others. One-shot crusade into dangerous territory. Survive the journey, cleanse the corruption, return if you can.

About me

Your story, my world. Let's make something unforgettable. I've been running TTRPG campaigns professionally for over a decade, and here's what I've learned: the best memories happen when player choices shape a collaborative story. I don't write scripts. I don't railroad. I build Etharis; a living, breathing high-fantasy world with deep immersive lore and marks left by all my past tables, where the game system is just a means to tell our tale; and then I hand you the wheel. You want to betray the quest-giver? Burn down the tavern? Charm the villain and turn them into an ally? You can certainly try. I come from a background in film screenwriting and game design, which is a fancy way of saying I narrate sessions in a dynamic and cinematic style, enhancing the drama and character reactions to the events. I'm always looking for ways to elevate the experience with impressive visuals, both shared through my video and used by players, such as Foundry VTT, Talespire, custom maps, reference art, and enough prep to improvise anything you throw at me. As our story together develops, I'll offer additional tools and mechanics brought from different game systems, all in the name of making our game time as epic and memorable as possible. I've delved into all kinds of systems, and trust me when I say that's rules are just a framework, we make rulings and use the to tell our story, how we want it. To that end I've tested everything from rules lite games where narration is king such as Blades in the Dark, all the way to intense tactical games like Pathfinder 2e. Whether you're a veteran looking for deep roleplay or a newbie who wants to learn in a welcoming space, I'll meet you where you are. My games go from gritty intrigue to bombastic heroism; with just enough absurdity to keep us laughing years later. If you want a GM who listens, adapts, and narrates stories with you instead of at you, let's talk.
