About the adventure
The dead don't like the dark. They also don't like being forgotten. Beneath the flickering gas lamps of the city of Duskvol, every secret has a price, and every debt is recorded. In Blades in the Dark, players take on the role of a crew of scoundrels making a name for themselves in a haunted, Victorian-Era city. Lightning barriers hum, leviathan blood burns in the lamps, and ghosts press against the walls of reality. Rival gangs, corrupt Bluecoats, and noble families all stand in between you and your place in history. The Gaslamp Archive is the story of your crew's rise: the scores you pull, the enemies you make, and the secrets you collect along the way. Every job adds a page. Every betrayal leaves a mark. And someday, someone will come looking for the record of what you did. Will you write your name in the ledger, or be erased from it?

About me
Let's tell some amazing stories together! My name is Daisy (she/her) and I'm a professional GM and writer. I have been running D&D and TTRPG campaigns for over 20 years and have been professionally GMing for over 3. I love handing over the reins of the story to my players and discovering together where the narrative goes. I always encourage my players to take agency make bold choices, and to be creative with their decisions and abilities! My tables are open to players of any experience level, and I'm always happy to teach new players. I am offering a variety of games at different timeslots, and while I only speak English, non-native English speakers are always welcome! Each of my games starts with an in-depth Session 0 to ensure player safety and cover table expectations. My games are custom-tailored to the characters my players come up with, incorporating unique NPCs, Locations, and Story Hooks, and never include generative AI. If you are interested in a One-Shot or a campaign not listed, please feel free to reach out and we can discuss some options!

What to expect
Preparing for the session
Discord and Roll 20 will be used for this campaign. I host my games on a private Discord Server open to players only. This game will begin with a dedicated Session 0 so we can fully cover any sort of preparation materials and safety tools needed.
What Daisy Stridinger (DnDaisies) brings to the table
As a GM for over 20 years and a trained theater artist, I bring both ample experience with TTRPGs and improv to all of my tables. My games are very character driven, with each storyline being created specifically for the characters in the game. My style is very open and flexible, meaning you will never have to worry about "ruining" anything I have planned. My style is very narrative forward, and I love giving players the reins of the story and seeing where they take it!
