About the adventure
Today, the city of Bankburgh hosts a once-in-a-generation celebration: the first birthday party festival of Princess Gerdathraeg, heir to the throne! As partygoers fill the streets with frivolity, dignitaries from across the land gather in the royal palace’s great hall to present their extravagant gifts in a grand ceremony. But when a wish-granting tiara powered by the heart of a fallen star is stolen in a moment of magical darkness, joy turns to suspicion. With the castle locked tight and tensions rising, the heroes must uncover the thief hiding among the assembled elites.

About me
What's up, Nerds? It's me, The One-Shot Wizard, Tabletop Roleplaying James (TTRPJ)! With over 25 years of Game Mastering under my belt, I've delved into the depths of every published edition of D&D since 3rd edition. My games are rooted in a meticulously crafted homebrew world, a diverse tapestry almost two decades in the making. This "kitchen-sink" setting ensures flexibility, enabling players and fellow DMs to integrate characters, stories, and elements from any realm or setting, ensuring a unique experience each session. My most recent endeavor? A year-long, Westmarches-style series of one-shots designed to take a party to level 20 over the course of 2025. Dive into a universe where every narrative, old or new, can find its niche. Join me for an adventure like no other!

Creating your character
Players will need to create a level 2 character for Daggerheart in their choice of online creators (Demiplane, Heart of Daggers, etc) and email them to me at least a day prior to the game so I can import them into Alchemy.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Players will need accounts with Discord and Alchemy VTT (www.alchemyrpg.com). Links to the Discord server and Alchemy game will be provided closer to game time.
What James Bratten brings to the table
I'm bringing the platform native Daggerheart module for Alchemy, 26 years of game master experience, and wealth of improv skills and good times! Rule of cool is always the number one rule at my table and I encourage players to think outside the confines of the game to succeed at their goals!
