About the adventure
You’re tired of being stuck at the Bottom. Literally. At the lowest level of Stackhaven—a goblin metropolis built from thousands of ships stacked inside a colossal cavern—folks like you spend their lives watching wealth, opportunity, and common sense drift upward. At the very top sits MacGuffin’s Hall of Fortune. Part auction house , part collector’s exchange, and part cultural landmark, MacGuffin’s Hall of Fortune is one of the most prestigious institutions in Stackhaven. Collectors, investors, and aspiring socialites travel from across the city to walk its polished halls beneath glittering chandeliers and towering displays of authenticated curiosities, throwing their coin at the chance to win big. So tonight, you and a handful of equally desperate goblins are taking matters into your own hands. No mystery boxes. No collector’s editions. No rare pulls. No. You’re breaking into MacGuffin’s vault. What could possibly go wrong? ⚙️ What to Expect • System: Daggerheart (rules taught at the table) • Tone: Terry Pratchett-inspired fantasy comedy / heist adventure • Themes: Ambition • Artificial Scarcity • Class Struggle • Friendship • Poor Decisions • Play Style: Creative problem solving, chaotic teamwork, ridiculous plans, and cinematic disasters. • Setting: Stackhaven, a vertical goblin city where every layer is stranger than the last. 💰 Game Details • Duration: 3–4 hours • Experience: Beginner-friendly — no prior Daggerheart experience required. • Characters: Oops All Goblins! Bring your own goblin or choose from pregenerated troublemakers. • Ancestries: Goblin. Only Goblin. 🎲 Perfect For Players Who Enjoy • Heists that immediately go off the rails • Goblin energy • Creative roleplay over optimization • Satirical fantasy stories • Turning minor setbacks into major catastrophes • Laughing at capitalism while participating in it 🌈 Inclusive Table LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent players are welcomed and celebrated here. Safety tools (including the Deck of Player Safety) are always in play to keep the table comfortable, respectful, and fun. After the session, you’ll receive an invitation to our Discord community, where players can connect, share stories, and continue exploring the world of Taeval through future adventures. MacGuffin built a fortune selling hope. You’re interested in a more tangible asset.

About me
Hi, I’m Rob Duke (dukeotaku on Discord). I’m a passionate Game Master with 15+ years of experience crafting immersive, player-driven adventures. I’ve hosted 50+ games on StartPlaying and run a variety of systems – from D&D 5E classics to the newest indie RPGs. In fact, I was an early adopter of Daggerheart and Tales of the Valiant, running them from day one. Players have rated me highly for my creativity, teaching approach, and inclusive table, so you can trust that you’re in good hands for a memorable game night. “Rob’s worldbuilding and collaborative style are unparalleled – he makes every character feel crucial to the story.” – ★★★★★ Player Review 🤝🏻 What to Expect in My Games 🤝🏻 ♦️ Story First: Deep characters, meaningful choices, and roleplay-heavy sessions (about 70/30 RP to combat). ♦️ Beginner Friendly: New to tabletop games? I’ll teach you as we play. No prep required — just bring curiosity. ♦️Safety & Comfort: LGBTQ+, BIPOC, and neurodivergent players welcome. I use tools like the Deck of Player Safety to keep play kind and respectful. 📖 Campaign Tones & Genres 📖 I tailor every campaign’s tone to your preferences. Here are some of the flavors I love to run: ♦️ Cozy Fantasy: Warm, feel-good adventures where the stakes are personal and the world feels like home. ♦️ Romantasy: Epic tales of love and magic – heartfelt narratives where relationships drive the story. ♦️ Dark Fantasy: Gritty, suspenseful worlds with morally gray dilemmas. Every choice has weight and consequences. ♦️ Grimdark: Brutal, high-stakes quests where survival isn’t guaranteed. Perfect if you enjoy intense challenges and a darker tone. (Not sure what tone you prefer? We’ll figure it out together in Session 0 so it fits the experience you want!) 🌈 A Community That Lasts 🌈 Join our Discord community, where players hang out between games for watch parties, board-game nights, and creative collaboration.
