Join Us For Special Event at
Star Cider

Prepare for adventure at Marked Fate, a unique D20 Grow Co. LLC experience where all of the stories woven by our talented Game Masters have one crucial thing in common: the prompt.

“A stranger steps out of the shadows, presses a weapon into your palm, and says, “Keep this close,” before fading away. When you look down, it’s a dagger marked with your name.”

While our Game Masters have each put their own spin on where this prompt leads, it’s up to you and the five other adventurers in your party to decide the ultimate fate of this tale. 

Marked Fate will be a five-hour one-shot hosted by Star Cider, a family-run cidery and restaurant nestled in the heart of the Finger Lakes. The event will be hosted outdoors in a spacious, tent-covered area where you can adventure in the shade and recharge in the sun. Whilst on your breaks, be sure to sample Star Cider’s food and drink menus featuring ciders made from 100% New York apples and other fresh ingredients.

We also encourage you to bring your coin purse and stop by D20 Grow Co. LLC’s kiosk for fantastical D&D/TTRPG-related merchandise.

*Please be aware of our refunds and return policy regarding these items.

One-Shot Description

The Queen’s Quest: A stranger steps out of the shadows, presses a weapon into your palm and says, “Keep this close,” before fading away. When you look down, it’s a dagger marked with your name. You had hoped that fleeing your destiny would have saved you from this fate, but the past always catches up to you. What was that old saying, you can run but you can’t hide? The weight of the knife in your hand proves that.

Destiny. Responsibility. The curse of a Hero. The Queen’s Guard summons, a request best not ignored. You tuck the weapon into your belongings and steel yourself. Duty calls, will you answer? The kingdom once again teeters on the brink, and another ancient evils stir. This dagger, etched with your true name, is a beacon, a curse, a promise. It marks you as one of the fated ones, the only hope against the encroaching darkness. It reminds you of an oath you once swore. Will you rise to that challenge, or will you watch world crumble?

One-Shot Description

The Dragon Rebellion: While wandering through the city of Midielhei, you witness a stranger step out of the shadows, press a weapon into your palm, and say, “Keep this close, you will need it” before fading away. Upon looking down and inspecting the item, you find it is a dagger that is marked with your name and a crest of the Dragon Rebellion: an order that is well-known for looking to create an independent organization of Dragon Knights to maintain peace and order throughout the continent.

The Dragon’s Breath Inn of the City of Wlasas of the Kmlonan Theocracy is said to be where the Rebellion’s movement was originally started. Perhaps more information can be gathered upon arriving there.

One-Shot Description

The Blades of Inheritance: A stranger steps out of the shadows, presses a weapon into your palm and says, “Keep this close,” before fading away. When you look down, it’s a dagger marked with your name.

A sudden burst of light, and the thunderous sound from a hundred feet in heavy boots envelopes you. Shouted commands -voices you know as the City Watch -clue you in on the fact that somebody doesn’t want you to have this knife.

As you once more look to the blade, and silently ask, “What now?” a pinpoint of elemental light cuts through the lightening gloom to reveal a previously hidden door. As you rush through, you hear the watch soldiers exclaim, “We have to find all of those blades…the blood throne mustn’t go to anyone but Lord Gareth, upon his orders.”

Against all reason, you find yourself in the cheap, small bedroom of a cheap, small tavern filled with strangers…all but one with a similar knife to yours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our events last six hours unless specified otherwise. This includes one-shot playing time and several designated breaks. Participants are free to hang out and explore the venue before and after the event.

A maximum of six seats are available per table. This helps ensure the one-shot is balanced regarding how much time each player is given to participate.

When you arrive at the event venue, find the D20 Grow Co. LLC merchandise kiosk. There, a D20 Grow Co. LLC member will ask for your name and direct you to your Game Master's table.

Players may bring their own custom character sheet but it must receive the Game Master’s approval before use in the event. Character sheets can be submitted for approval at the event before the one-shot has started or they can be submitted in advance using our private Discord chat. The link will be provided via email upon purchase of a D20 Grow Co. LLC event ticket.

Character sheets can be rejected for a variety of reasons including, but not limited to:

  • Character level/ overpowered abilities
  • Overly advantageous inventory items
  • Use of a race, class, background, or motivation that is incompatible with the one-shot premise or edition
  • Presence of inappropriate content

These custom character sheet rules ensure the one-shots are conducted as fairly and respectfully as possible while being conscious of time.

As stated in our “Campaign and Venue Rules”, the Game Master has the final say in all disputes. If your custom character sheet is rejected, please do not waste the one-shot's limited time arguing with the Game Master's decision. Be courteous of everyone's experience and choose a pre-made character sheet.

No. While we encourage participants to bring their own tabletop dice, figurines, dice trays or towers, and other accessories, they are not required. We will provide all the basic items necessary for the one-shot.

Most of our events are hosted at venues that offer food and drinks to some degree that participants can purchase before, after, or during the one-shot session. However, this is not always guaranteed. If food and drinks are available during the event, we will specify as such in our event posting.
