About the adventure
A talented adventurer from Arks Adventuring Guild has offered you their legacy; this means they saw potential in you for something and extended an invitation to join the guild's adventuring academy which is used to weed out the unworthy and invest in those that are! When considering your character imagine who,what, and why in reference to what got them an invite to the academy. Did they help a renowned monster hunter take down his prey? display magical prowess in front of an arcane investigator? Or did their wealthy parents bribe a more unscrupulous member of the guild? Either way you were gifted an invitation to one of the largest adventuring guilds Academies set on a floating island in the largest city in the world! The first section of this story will cover arriving at the academy and the trials they use in the first year to ensure everyone deserves to be there. From there they get a provisional rookie adventuring licenses where they will begin doing small adventuring gigs while balancing their courses to become stronger and make some coin. The themes of this game will be silly schooldays slice of life with epic adventures thrown throughout! Theatre of the mind with an emphasis on fleshing out and having fun in your characters' skin. During session 0 I will ask you all what aspects of school life you think sound the most fun exploring so I can narrow my focus. Do you want zany extra curriculars and clubs? In depth classes? Extensive shopping episodes around town? Its all up to you. During session 0 we'll flesh out how in depth we want to do the aspects of daggerheart that can get crunchier like combat. I'm going to run it theatre of the mind but if people want more loose combat maps for visualization I will do it. Extra’s on Pricing and pacing of sessions: Session 0 is $5 and the first actual session with me is $10 so I give people two chances for a discounted price to make sure they’ll enjoy my game. If after you’ve played a session with me you leave me a positive review your next full price session will be $10! I intend to run as close to the 4 hour mark as possible(if the group can go to the end we will!)with maybe a small break in the middle to touch base and use the bathroom.

About me
Howdy ya’ll! I’m Peter and I got my start playing tabletops with DnD 3.5e at a friends birthday party when I was 13 and I’ve been hooked ever since. From there I started playing years of pathfinder 1e with my online gaming friends and transitioned into dming because I loved the storytelling opportunities. Tabletop roleplaying games have always been about community, fun, and expression for me so I do my best to cultivate it in any play space. I believe the most important and fun aspects of tabletop roleplaying come out in the collaboration of everyone involved to advance the story; and this can only happen when everyone feels safe, respected, and like they are an equal part of the story. My whole philosophy as a GM is centered around keeping the story collaborative and fun for everyone involved. Creating investment with my players is key: This always starts with a session 0 where we get everyone on the same page for expectations. Players who join campaigns later will at the least get a quick one on one session 0 to prep. As for details about myself I am a non-straight neurodivergent man doing my best to turn my biggest hobby and passion into a job so I can share the things I love about it with others. When I’m not furthering that goal I am devouring my favorite media which includes everything horror and fantasy on my couch with a lap full of my elderly kitties and my partner by my side.

What Pert brings to the table
Daggerheart being a highly narrative and roleplay centric game I will do my best to "yes and" my players and build onto their moments to heighten the vibes, fun, and overall energy of the party. I will use my 15 years of gming knowledge and wacky personality to keep the sessions moving, fun, and energized by bringing NPCs and the world to life.

How Pert creates a safe table
Daggerheart being a fairly open game that relies more on roleplaying and is character driven means that I try to make sure we're all on the same page in session 0 and be aware of how everyone is feeling as the game progresses. Our use of X, N, and O cards as well as Lines and Veils is critical to make sure everyone is comfortable and having fun together.
