Return Of The Past- A Daggerheart Story (BEGINNER FRIENDLY)

Daggerheart | Campaign

About the adventure

A time of peace and serenity, suddenly shattered by something long thought to be extinct. What will happen when the past suddenly returns? You will create a group of adventurers (or maybe some standard folk who feel the call to heroism) and confront an ancient darkness that is rising once again, threatening to take over everything it touches. What will you do in the face of this threat? ---------- *New Players Welcome! This is a campaign using the BRAND NEW Daggerheart System! Everyone here will be learning from scratch! *Module to Campaign! We're going to start with the Sablewood Messengers, and then spin off into a full campaign! *All Players Included! This table will be a welcoming and safe space, for any player to come enjoy themselves, regardless of identity. *Full Campaign! I will weave your characters into the fabric of the story, including callbacks to any history, and plotlines to have the world come alive for you. Soon after we introduce ourselves and get acquainted with the world, we will have a full fledged campaign running!

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.

Additional details

How to prepare

*Discord REQUIRED (It's Free) *Demiplane ENCOURAGED (It's where characters will be made, but I can make them for you if needed) *Audio REQUIRED (You don't have to talk, but you do have to be able to hear me. Whether that's headsets, speakers, etc) *Voice ENCOURAGED but not required- we have text channels for those unwilling/unable to talk *Cameras NOT REQUIRED (If you want to, then feel free) *A way to take down character notes (Pen/Pad, Google Docs, etc)

What I provide

I will provide the Discord links, as well as everything you need to make a character during Session 0. When it comes to in-game play, I prefer to use theatre of the mind, so there is very little in the way of maps and things. THIS WILL BE VERY HEAVY ROLEPLAY! I will discuss characters and how they work, so that I can weave them into the story as it continues, where we all start creating the world together!

Gameplay details

I always do a Session 0 so that we can go over the content as well as discuss anything that needs discussed. I will be messaging my players individually as well, so that some lines can stay anonymous. When it comes to pause cards (X,N,O) those are an all hands, any time deal. Whenever something crosses the line or someone feels like we are heading that way, they can do whatever makes them best comfortable, whether thats sending me a private message or flat out stopping the game. I value my players' security and comfortability, while also acknowledging that sometimes you don't know what's too much until you hit it. So at any time, at any moment, in any scene, my players can stop the action so that we can discuss it.

How will character creation work

We will make characters during our Session 0, after we go over everything related to world-building. Your characters will be Level 1, right at the basics so we can all learn and grow together! That being said, character IDEAS are fantastic. But the actual creation will be with everyone that way we can bounce off of each other and begin to weave our narrative together.
