About the adventure
Five years into an armistice that ended a decade of warfare, the threat of renewed conflict looms over the continent. In this complex and scalating geopolitical situtaion your party will try to find a way to preserve the peace. However, if that is proven impossible the party will focus on a way to protect their community. Mayhaps the best road to that is to take brutal and bloody action againts the invasors to end the war as quickly as possible? Or maybe diplomacy will be the best solution? We will play to find out. IS THIS GAME FOR YOU? You will be a good fit if you are into character-driven stories with 80% exploration/roleplaying/investigation and 20% high stakes combat. I strive to create an alive world that reacts to player actions and decisions but also evolves on its own with time. -GM principles: --Fun and safety for players over everything else. --Player agency, meaningful consequences. --Fill the world with detail and convey it honestly. --This is OUR story. We will play to figure out what happens. --No plot armour. No chosen ones. Real stakes, real failure, real success. --No PvP. -Beginners welcome. I have introduced countless players to TTRPGs and new systems, with a pretty high success rate. -Everybody is welcome at this table. Organizations or characters within the fiction might display bigotry, zealotry or all out hatred (see content warning) but it will never be justified, glorified or enjoyed. I see this as a dark mirror of the real world used to create interesting dramatic stories and/or higher stakes. Also, you will be the heroes of the story, if you find injustice you are welcome to fight it! -This game is based on the official campaign frame 5 banners burning from the Daggerheart core book.

About me
Hello! I have been an eternal GM since I started playing with friends 20 years ago. I feel that the hobby just fits my skills and inclinations and I derive great satisfaction from seeing my hard work rewarded by good vibes and people having fun around the table. I am avalible to run custom games for your group with any system or adventure you desire (within the guidelines of StartPlaying), DM me and we'll see! I used more system than I can remenber the name of but the main staples are: D&D, Call of Cthulhu, Cyberpunk and Traveller. Nowadays I am moving towards more modern system with less hour-long tactical combat and number crunching and more narrative tools inserted in the mechanics, e.g: Daggerheart and Beam saber. I generally run character driven stories with 80% roleplay/exploration/investigation and 20% combat. I like stories with conflict, high stakes, moral conundrums and a balance between real challenge (inside and outside of combat) and the chance for the characters to have meaningful arcs. I do not believe in plot armor, chosen ones or deux ex machina resolutions. I want your characters to live and achieve a narratively satisfying resolution but once the methaforical board is set your decisions and the dice will decide. I think that without real danger and chance of failure there is no real success. I am coming to Start Plaing Games for two reasons: to find dedicated players and to prove to myself I can be a real pro.

Fantasy ''clean'' warfare or horrors of organized violence between nations etc. -Discuss safety tools.

What TLDR brings to the table
My GM principles/style: 1- Inclusive for all. 2-Fun and safety first. 3-Very improvisational, striving to adapt and change the story to the player's decisions and the will of the dice gods. 4-Cinematic, roleplay heavy 5-No plot armour, no prophetic victory over evil. Real stakes, real danger, real success.
