About the adventure
You are surviving in the wilds of the Umbra, where you beasts, other enduring and the realm itself fights against your survival. In the harshness of the Halcyon Domain you are tasked to create a new Stronghold, either because as you are no longer allowed in a previous refuge, you belive it is your calling, are tired of exploring the wastes without objective. No matter the reason, you are now the ones who must light a new Sacred Pyre. It is up to you the reason why you're making this new Pyre, where you'll make it and who the people in this new Stronghold will be. This is a tough enviroment with harsh fights and powerful adversaries, and death being a very real possibility.

About me
Hello!! Call me Miku, Leks, Karla or Kevin!! My Campaigns are LGBTQ+, Neurodivergent, POC and other minorities friendly 🏳️🌈 I've been a GM for about 3 years in different games. I put a lot of effort on my games, looking for maps, npc references, creating my own statblocks, all of that in honor of a experience of the game and the worldbuilding. I really enjoy new worlds and settings, so I will also have other settings other than standard high fantasy. I also prioritize character stories and relationships, as well as the worldbuilding and how they affect each other. Every piece of worldbuilding I make will somehow impact the characters and they stories, and every actions fomrt he PCs will affect evetns int he world and stories at large. Examples of the types of game genres: Western fantasy, Modern fantasy, Noir fantasy, Sci-fi, historical fantasy, Steampunk Fantays, retelling of classical stories, Apocalyptic, etc.

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Hopefully you have same idea of how to play Daggeheart but not needed. IT IS IMPORTANT TO BE CLEAR THAT THIS CAMPAIGN WILL BE DARK AND BRUTAL. CHECK CONTENT WARNINGS I ask for a decent mic, and to have your camera on to play. This will be through a Discord server where everything will be coordinated and explained in detail. The VTT that will be used is Owlbear Rodeo.
What Leks brings to the table
I am a GM who loves, gets invested and prioritizes story: both of the world and events I create, but also the player's characters, with including and making the character's backstory into the overall story, and I also ask of players to also get invested in the other's characters' stories. I also love combat, I try to make them difficult and will probably expend a lot of your resources, but will no be a meat grinder. My combats are at relevant points in story, I don't like combats that happen just because (like random encounter tables), and story will be a important element in combat, as well as trying to make combats more engaging, with some sort of puzzle in combats, the monsters having unique mechanic that will have to change your game tactics, etc. Which is why I'm very interested in Daggerheart, I feel that style of fast paced combat that isn't incredible complicated and detailed is very fun and interesting.

How Leks creates a safe table
I will first and foremost have session 0, where the potentially sensitive topics and themes will be discussed and clarified how they will be included, if they are at all. I also will send a consent list that players can fill to indicate what topics they are ok with. These topics, limits and clarifiactions will be clearly displayed in the server, so that everyone knows going into the game.
