About the adventure
In an age of perpetual darkness the light is a symbol of hope and a welcome respite from the constant gloom…sometimes. Not this time. Beneath the light of a moon not seen in ages a creature stirs, touched by something from beyond the unguarded veil. You will play as travelers on the road to Okros, a settlement whose sacred pyre burns bright above its walls to push back the Umbra. You will be drawn into a story of devotion and dedication where bonds and connection are the only lights left, but where some lights are colder still than shadows. This is a short adventure that takes place in the Age of Umbra campaign frame described in the daggerheart core rules.

About me
I can guarantee a better game for less money. This is just facts. I’ve played with other DMs here and paid enough to know I’m giving the same or better service at a lower price. Don’t just read the reviews. Send me a message and I’ll link you to my discord where you can meet the players. Many have played a lot on this site and will tell you the same. I’ve been DMing for 20 years now. I’m good at weaving in character backstories and making even published adventures feel personal. I try to promote comfort at the table but keep it professional at the same time. I allow players to play how they want and encourage them to meander through the plot, seek out the side quests and have some player to player RP moments. I stay engaged with the players throughout the campaign asking what they liked or what they would like to see next and try to make sure everyone gets the experience they signed up for. I’ve been doing this long enough to know what I’m doing. At the same time I never let that get in the way of trying to improve or allow it to give me a know-it-all-mentality. For those who care: I don’t use AI in anyway at all in the creative process behind my games. I don’t use it for anything outside of this either. Everything in my games is 100 percent from my brain or shamelessly stolen from existing tropes.

Creating your character
Character creation will be done on demiplane which you will be provided a link for once you join. There you will have access to a character builder and the core rules. I encourage you to skim through the Age of Umbra setting before you create a character.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need a demiplane and discord account and I’ll send invites for those once you book your spot. Please have a working mic and headphones, a stable internet connection, and a quiet space to play. Webcam is optional but strongly encouraged.
What DM Kayden brings to the table
I’m decent with voices, and I spend time curating music that fits the mood of each scene. I try to make combat feel vivid with imaginative visual descriptions that help everyone picture what’s happening without slowing the pace.

How DM Kayden creates a safe table
If there’s anything that specifically triggers you, just let me know before the session and I’ll make sure it’s excluded — or I’ll let the group know that topic is off-limits for this adventure. During play, if anything comes up that makes you uncomfortable, feel free to step away and send me a message. I’ll pause and address it right away. My goal is to make sure everyone feels comfortable and safe at the table. After the session, we’ll do a quick debrief using Stars and Wishes — a chance to share what you enjoyed and anything you’d like to see handled differently in the future.
