Play Daggerheart with a horror specialist GM who has over 300 sessions in both Critical Role's Exandria and Forgotten Realm's Barovia! If you enjoy... ๐ญ Telling tales of terror, RPing heroic last stands, Defeating menacing villains, ...then my dark horror game of Daggerheart is for you. ๐ค SETTING INFO: "A century has passed since the God-King Othedias betrayed the Pantheon, provoking divine punishment and abandonment by the gods that left the realm of the Halcyon Domain shattered, desolate, and eternally cursed. Throughout this shadow-choked land of decaying fortresses and dreadful monstrosities, surviving communities cling to hope in the face of lightless oblivion. In an Age of Umbra campaign, you'll play heroic survivors who protect their community from the terrors beyond the walls, venture out into the unknown to hunt the nightmares that twist and grow with each fallen soul, seek answers to the curses that corrupt this world, and perhaps even discover a way to change its fate." - setting designed by Matthew Mercer Daggerheart is a D12-based tabletop RPG by Darrington Press, the creators of Critical Role and the animated series Vox Machina. The system is specifically designed to allow for player creativity in helping build the world during play through easy prompts, specializing in theater of the mind play. Your decisions actively matter as you develop the epic saga with your new friends at the table.
Game style
Roleplay Heavy
โRoleplay Heavyโ games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.
Theater of the Mind
โTheater of the Mindโ uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Masterโs descriptions and character action and movement comes from Playersโ descriptions.
Rule of Cool (RoC)
โRule of Coolโ emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a systemโs rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.
If you love interparty roleplay, dark horror themes, and deadly consequences to decisions, then this is the game for you! This campaign will begin on May 27th with a full table. Join a learn to play one shot the week prior if you want to get going sooner!

The presentation given by isFriday was fantastic. Full of extremely helpful and useful tips that I'm absolutely going to use for advertising my own games.

Made a topic complex and boring into a fun, easy, accessible process. Rarely does knowledge come so effortlessly.

Joined Friday's Ad workshop for GMs last week. Took notes, looked at my ad, and felt ashamed to share it to be reviewed. Worked on my ad for a week. Joined Friday's workshop again. Friday said my ad was fine. THAT'S SUCCESS RIGHT THERE, FOLKS! Thank you, Friday! I feel much more confident on writing great ads now.

This was my first time playing with strangers, and it went so well! isFriday was great at leading us through Daggerheart, and brought a lot of creativity to the session. There was a perfect balance between comedy and consequence.
