“All our stories are kept in the sky. The stars group together to remind us of these tales.”
The skies have always provided wonder and the stories they tell have lasted for millennia, filled with myth and legend. They inspire us, teach us, and guide us forward with their wisdom and lessons. These stories are always shared by a Teller, heard by Listeners, who in turn must become Tellers of the story to others.
What is Told By Starlight?
Told By Starlight is a collaborative storytelling game that uses a deck of cards to draw constellations and tell their stories. The constellations are used to create a mythology and add richness to a new or already existing world. Working together, you will have the opportunity to act as the Teller and Listener, creating a new mythology from nothing, filling it with the grand stories of Icons, their struggles, and the lessons mortals are blessed with. No experience is necessary to play, but it is improvisational in nature. The Muse, a series of tables with prompts and inspiration, is always there to consult if you find yourself adrift among the stars. This game is great for players wanting to practice their improv or storytelling, writers looking for inspiration, or GMs hoping to enrich their world with depth and history.

A webcam, a mic, and your creativity.
This one-shot is expected to run roughly 3 hours. There is no limit to how many constellations and myths that are created, but eventually the sky fills up with their tales.
Please feel free to reach out to me with the “Contact” icon above so I can answer any questions you may have.
I played a worldbuilding game with Jeremy, and it was fantastic. I was completely new to the game, and new to worldbuilding games in general. Jeremy lead the session expertly, giving enough detail and direction to get us started while allowing us players to brainstorm and be creative with our build. He was kind and patient, and he knew just when to step in if we needed help. He has a great sense of humor, there was a lot of laughter as we played. I’m looking forward to the next chance I’ll have to play one of his games again. Thanks Jeremy!
Jeremy is a great DM, and I look forward to every game with him. He engages the player and seems to be a genuine fan of the PCs, even as they smash headlong through a score like bulls in a china shop!
Jeremy knows how to build worlds, tell stories, and engage players. He is especially good at meeting players where they are at. If you want silliness, he’s your guy. If you want serious, high-stakes drama, he’s your guy. If you want long-term character growth, he’s your guy. Any type of game and any type of story, you won’t regret having Jeremy guide you through it.
Jeremy does a great job with Blades in the Dark! He has clearly planned ahead, has a brilliant mind for imagining scenarios that are appropriate to the roll of the dice, and makes each session fun for players.
I love Thursdays night Blades, and playing with Jeremy is a highlight!
It’s hard to put into words how mesmerizing and inspiring this game session was. With zero “action” built into the game rules, we had so much happen in the world of the people we channeled as we told our interwoven, collaborative story. And this was such a success because of this DM’s hard work of supporting players’ imaginations (and lending his in a pinch), record-keeping, making sure that group dynamics worked well… I could honestly appreciate how intense it must have been to run such a storytelling-heavy game, yet as a player it felt effortless for me to be creative, and just to HAVE FUN
