The Cycle's Turning||Daggerheart||
Daggerheart | Campaign
About the adventure
Ancient prophecies, whispered through generations by scholars of the Loreborne Conclaves and the seers who study Straetus's fungal patterns, begin to coalesce. They speak of a time when the primal elements will wane, their connection to the entrusted families will fray, and the Coyote Lich, the first of the Council, will return to conclude the cycle it began. As these signs become increasingly evident – unpredictable elemental surges, the dimming of the Immortal Flame, the stagnation of parts of the Neverending Lake, unusual lulls in the Unending Storm, and tremors in the Highest Mountain – the people of Akroma face an uncertain future. This is a Campaign starting at level 1! If you need help creating a character I will be in the discord up to an hour before the session to help with character creation! Built for emotional storytelling and dramatic character arcs, Daggerheart is a new fantasy RPG from Critical Role that puts your character’s beliefs, hopes, and fears at the center of the game. Its unique Hope & Fear system creates compelling tension with every dice roll, drawing out dynamic decisions and real consequences. Campaigns explore the inner lives of heroes as they evolve through adventure, loss, triumph, and discovery. Instead of just stats and loot, you’ll build virtues, grow relationships, and face personal challenges that matter just as much as world-shaking battles. Whether you're chasing a cause, mending a broken past, or redefining who you are, Daggerheart supports meaningful change and collaborative worldbuilding. Expect a journey that is as much about who you are as what you do.
Game style
Roleplay Heavy
“Roleplay Heavy” 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.
Rule of Cool (RoC)
“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s 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.
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
