About the adventure

🗡️ A Daggerheart Campaign of Secrets and Loyalties – Built for players who crave complex characters and high-stakes choices, Five Banners Burning explores what happens when nations stop firing arrows—and start trading secrets. 🌍 Explore the Fragile Peace of Althas – Across five rival nations, agents work in shadows to forge alliances, undermine enemies, and pursue agendas both noble and selfish. You are one of them—whether knight, exile, or unlikely operative. ⚖️ Choice-Driven Conflict – In classic Daggerheart fashion, your character’s ideals and bonds will shape the world around you. Tensions rise. War looms. Your actions could keep the peace… or light the match. New to Daggerheart? No worries. You’ll get everything you need to jump in, from helpful tools to a welcoming table focused on collaboration, roleplay, and creative storytelling. The banners are raised. The knives are drawn. And in Althas, nothing stays buried forever.

About me

Hello there, adventurers! My name is Katie and I have over a decade of TTRPG experience and multiple years as a Pro-GM. Tabletop gaming is a passion of mine, and I use it to lead players and their characters through unforgettable journeys. Outside of tabletop I enjoy gaming, going on walks with my dog, playing with my cat, reading, and spending time with my partner!

Character creation

Creating your character

Characters will be created collectively during session 0! I can provide pre-made characters if you prefer not to craft your own. I can also help create characters after session 0. We will also delve into discussions about how the group is interconnected, character aspirations, group goals, and player and GM expectations. I will be addressing any questions related to lore, background, etc.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

Must be 18 years old or older. A good microphone or headset is appreciated. Cameras are optional, and I will not be using one. You must have a stable internet connection, as well as a PC or laptop capable of running FoundryVTT. Check the "Prep Materials" Section on Startplaying once you've joined the adventure for a link to the Discord!
