About the adventure
This will be a beginner friendly campaign set in a homebrew setting for the Daggerheart system. It will comprise of theater of the mind play with emphasis on reoleplay and how interactions and the actions of the players impact the setting. It is a mystery and investigation type of game without being too much a detective game. Combat will play a part of course as the Archipelago is rife with wildlife that does not like being intruded upon but will not be the prominent feature of the game. The players will shape the story and influence the ending so this is very much their story.

What Mason brings to the table
This game will feature more roleplay than combat however combat will be more prominent here than other games I run. I generally run RAW but ROC will trump that within reason. I do some character voices as well.

How Mason creates a safe table
We will discuss LInes and Veils during session 1 as a group and I will run X, N and O cards via message on Alchemy. If at any point it gets too much for a plyer or group of players we will pause play and discuss it.
