About the adventure
You are agents of the Dragonflies, Cormyr's deniable intelligence service: no written orders, no official record of your existence, no clean hands. You were recruited because you're the best, and because the threats gathering around the kingdom are the kind that can't be solved with an army. This is a campaign about political intrigue, moral complexity, and espionage as much as it is about combat. Expect faction politics, difficult choices with no clean answer, and NPCs who have their own agendas that evolve over time. Every major decision your party makes has consequences — who you trust, who you burn, which devil's bargain you accept and which you refuse. It is designed to reward players who engage deeply with the world, remember names, and care about the people they meet along the way.

About me
Looking for an immersive, narrative-driven RPG experience? I’m a professional GM with over 16 years of experience running TTRPGs, spanning D&D 5e & 3.5e, Call of Cthulhu, Vampire: The Masquerade, Cyberpunk: Red, Blades in the Dark, and even my own custom system built on Fuzion, set in a rich fantasy-medieval world. If you are interested in any of these, but available campaigns and one-shots don't work for you - message me directly or use the Custom Booking option. I run games on Foundry VTT & Discord, enhanced with custom scenarios, dynamic music, and a dedicated journal to keep track of the world and your journey. If you’re looking for a consistent, high-quality game where storytelling and player agency shine - let’s roll the dice! My first encounter with TTRPG was playing DnD 3.5e at my local library when I was still in primary school. Since then, I have been regularly playing and DM'ing. I've used to professionally DM for teens and kids as young as 6 years old at summer camps, as well as at Fantasy Conventions for the Polish publisher of Call of Cthullu.

Creating your character
Every player will receive a personal background hook connecting them to the world. Come to Session Zero with a concept, not a complete backstory - we'll build it together. My default rules are: - 10th Level start. - Standard Array. - Milestone levelling. - Most official 5e content allowed. Homebrew subclasses on request with GM approval. - No evil-aligned characters - morally grey is welcome, malicious is not.

How Gustaw creates a safe table
This campaign deals with mature themes. A Session Zero will be held before play begins to review all content, establish Lines & Veils, and ensure every player is comfortable with what's on the table.
