About the adventure

The world of Andrzej Sapkowski's The Witcher is one of unbound brutality, and this game will be no different. Terrible things are likely to happen, and sometimes there will be nothing you can do but grimace and look away. The Witcher TTRPG system is complex and fun. The wide array of skills allow for many amazing moments. The combat is as visceral and tactical as is to be expected from a world like The Witcher. If you enjoy lots of roleplay, hard choices with serious consequences, and crunchy, tactical combat, then maybe my game is for you.

About me

I do not use any generative AI in my works. Hey! I'm an artist and aspiring writer who loves playing TTRPGs way too much. If I'm not working, I'm doing something with TTRPGs, whether it be playing, GMing or just thinking about them. I love trying out new systems as I'm always looking for new ways to tell a fun story with my players, though I already play a wide array of systems too, from the crunchiest to the fluffiest, I love them all. So, if you're ready for pulse-pounding combat, and NPCs that'll draw you into the deepest depths of their souls, then I may be the GM for you!

Character creation

Creating your character

I will be working with players to create their characters in a Session 0. They will be starting as above average in their chosen profession, with some extra wiggle room for any interesting ideas. I will also be providing access to any books that are required, for character creation or otherwise.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

If you are interested, please send me a private message and I will send you the link to a Discord server I run my games from.

What Hearthic brings to the table

I use plenty of visual aids, I play ambient music and noise. I'm no voice actor but I have plenty of voices and accents in my repertoire. You can expect the combat to be crunchy and tactical, though I am known for allowing the odd Rule of Cool moment to be had. I try to make sure my players are having fun, because if they are then so am I.

Safety

How Hearthic creates a safe table

The setting and tone will be discussed in the Session 0, along with some talk of what the players are interested in doing or interested in experiencing during the campaign. A Lines and Veils document will be linked in my Discord server. I generally take 10-15 minutes after a session is over to cool down with my players and discuss what happened in the session.
