About the adventure
The gods are gone. The world is dying. You are what remains. Once, the world was ruled by divine light and golden empires. Now, the world rots beneath crumbling ruins, cursed skies, and the slow, steady march of oblivion. Even death no longer offers rest, when mortals fall… they rise again a hollow husks consumed by the urge to destroy everything they once loved. But not all hope is lost. Whispers speak of ancient relics. Shards of a forgotten power buried in the darkness far from the safety of the light. Whispers that those who claim them could become something more than mortal. They would be wielders of the divine, defiers of fate… champions. In this grimdark, mythic fantasy Daggerheart campaign, hope and fear collide to shape the fate of a dying world. Face monsters, explore haunted ruins and wield relics powerful enough to challenge the divine. In a world with such little light, will you become the spark? 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 occur during session zero where we will be creating our characters together and establishing connections and lore. I’ll walk you through this process step-by-step, so don’t worry if you’re new to Daggerheart! Characters will start at Level 1. We will choose classes, ancestries, communities and everything through our session zero. Feel free to discuss your character ideas with your fellow players in the discord however before session zero! I am very excited to see what we come up with!
Only One Session In!! Plenty of time to get in on the action! Current Party Comp: Seaborne Half Human/Half Elf Warlock Slyborne Infernis Executioner Assassin Wanderborne Giant Juggernaut Brawler
What to expect
Preparing for the session
First Step is to get into the Discord (link in the welcome message! Our server serves a a hub for our community as a whole as well as a resource for your game! We will be using Demiplane and Roll20 for our character sheets and the Virtual Tabletop respectively!
What Kass | The Paradox DM brings to the table
Roll20 maps: Colorful maps with Dynamic Lighting to really set the scene. Tokens: NPC's and Players get unique tokens to represent themselves. Music: Ambient music and combat tracks to help set the mood and try and get you in your character's head! Session Recordings: Every session is recorded so you NEVER miss a session. These recordings are only available to those at the table, can't remember what was said during an emotional moment? Or have to miss a session but don't want to be left behind? You never have to worry about it! Discord: 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!

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 be given access to a Consent Survey 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!
