⚔️ RPG GM SPOTLIGHT: EPIC ADVENTURE AND GLORY WITH TRAVIS FAUBER! ⚔️

Are you ready to test your mettle, brave ancient dungeons, and joust for glory? We are shining a spotlight on Game Master Travis Fauber, who is bringing classic fantasy adventures, harkening back to the golden age of roleplaying, to CharCon 2026!

Travis has earned multiple Copper and Silver bestseller awards for his products on DriveThruRPG. He has also received several awards for his fantasy miniature painting and is a three-time winner of the Dragonslayer RPG Dungeon Design Competition. His work can be found on both the DM’s Guild and DriveThruRPG.

Travis will guide players through the timeless roleplaying tradition of the early 1980s, with realms of myth and magic in Greg Gillespie’s Dragonslayer RPG system. Whether you're tilting against fellow knights in the lists or delving into mist-covered barrows, Travis has a seat at his table waiting for you.

Here is a look at his exciting offerings:

🛠️ Dragonslayer RPG Character Creation
• The Setup: In Dragonslayer RPG, the first rule is simple: All characters die eventually. Travis is hosting two dedicated character creation sessions to walk you through the quick character creation system. Whether you're completely new to TTRPGs or a grognard, this is the perfect chance to go back to basics, roll your stats, and create a stable of characters. Remember, a Game Master never kills player characters. Players kill their character through reckless play.

🐎 Full Metal Tilt (Dragonslayer RPG Jousting)
• The Setup: Lower your visor, steady your lance, and let the games begin. These sessions with the designer bring the roar of medieval jousting to life.
• What to expect: Your characters will compete for honor and glory as they charge through the lists. Learn to master the noble art of jousting against the backdrop of roaring crowds. Travis is running two sessions of his adrenaline-rush of a system throughout the weekend! Will you rise as the tournament champion, or will you find yourself unhorsed amidst the clash of steel?

💀 M1 Barrowmaze (Dragonslayer RPG)
• The Setup: Set foot into the Barrow Moors in one of the most famous, megadungeon delves in tabletop gaming history.
• What to expect: Barrowmaze is a massive, sprawling labyrinth filled with ancient barrows, buried treasures, deadly traps, and restless undead. Survival requires clever tactics, teamwork, and a whole lot of courage as you explore the secrets hidden beneath the mounds. Travis is hosting three sessions of this epic dungeon sprawl, giving you plenty of chances for adventure!

📅 Claim Your Seat at the Table. All of Travis’s sessions are perfect for players who love classic fantasy adventure that harken back to the 1980s, tactical challenges, and high-energy storytelling. Since his tables have limited seating, you’ll want to secure your spots early!
