About the adventure
A heroic tale begins—not with a sword, but with a choice. Step into the world of Daggerheart, a brand-new fantasy roleplaying game by Darrington Press, The publishing Arm of Critical Role, where every decision tilts between hope and fear, and your past haunts or empowers your future. This session is designed specifically for new players—whether you're brand new to TTRPGs, curious about Daggerheart's unique mechanics, or just looking for a low-stakes way to learn something new with others. Together, we’ll build original characters, walk through the rules, and dive into a short, cinematic adventure that highlights the system’s dramatic narrative mechanics. You’ll learn how to use your Hope & Fear dice, play cards that shape your character’s destiny, and experience what makes Daggerheart stand apart from traditional d20 systems. Expect high emotion, bold choices, and moments of both triumph and consequence. This is a welcoming space for all identities and experience levels. We’ll go over safety tools, roleplay expectations, and character creation step-by-step—so you can jump in even if you’ve never played a TTRPG before. Come with curiosity, and leave with the tools to start your own heroic story. artwork © Simon Pape used with permission, all rights reserved

About me
Hi, I'm Kass! I've been a dedicated writer, actor, and storyteller for years, and I've channeled that passion into my work as a Dungeon Master. I love running games that create immersive, narrative-driven experiences that engage players on a deeper level. My ability to blend rich storytelling with engaging, homebrewed elements make each session feel unique and tailored to YOU! Whether you're exploring a frozen wasteland, unraveling the mysteries of an ancient civilization, or navigating tense political intrigue, I ensure every game is an adventure that players will remember. My games are designed to encourage collaboration, character development, and those epic, cinematic moments that bring a table to life. I'm here to help you create stories you will talk about for years to come!

Creating your character
Character creation will take place during the session, with guidance every step of the way. Whether you're brand new to TTRPGs or just new to Daggerheart, you'll learn how to build a character from the ground up—choosing your heritage, class, traits, and cards together as a group. No prep is required beforehand—just bring your imagination and a willingness to explore a new system! You will be able to build your own unique character or choose one of the pregenerated ones for this adventure!

What Kass | The Paradox DM brings to the table
Music: Ambient music and combat tracks to help set the mood and try and get you in your character's head! Access to Content in Demiplane! I have the core Rulebook in the New Demiplane system to teach and help create a character in this system!! Access to an exclusive discord community of like-minded TTRPG-loving people with an unmatched love for this form of Storytelling! Unique Storylines: Every table and game is completely unique and YOURS! No game of mine ever runs the same way twice. Positive, Safe & Inclusive Atmosphere: I love sharing my passion for this game and making sure everyone at the table feels included and seen. I am a Rules meets Cool DM. I am almost always happy to allow a good idea at the table, and will reward quick thinking and roleplay decisions. We will default to Rules as Written in cases of disagreement, but I am more concerned about the narrative aspect of your story and will push to give you those whenever possible!

Safety
How Kass | The Paradox DM creates a safe table
When it comes to player safety and comfort nothing is more important, pre-session every player will fill out an RPG Consent Checklist which will allow me to avoid triggers before the game even begins. Then at the beginning of session we will go over any content warnings that may be present in the adventure and discuss about my open door, break and debrief policies. Players are also welcome at any time to either take breather or a break from the game, and at no point will they ever be asked to go into detail about ANYTHING they may not be comfortable with. Also, while the game is going on, if at any point a player needs content to stop immediately, they may hold up an X/N or type one in chat or private DM. This will allow me to make the necessary moves needed to make sure everyone continues to have a great time playing! Lastly, I am a huge believer in debriefing/aftercare. At the end of each session I will always hang around for anywhere between 15-30 minutes to chat about the session and to just generally hang out with anyone who wants to stick around! This is great for sessions where we may get into some heavier content so we can either discuss it or unpack it if need be!
