Cooking Up Trouble! | Daggerheart Beast Feast Biweekly Campaign

Creating your character

We’ll create characters together using Demiplane, the official online tool partnered with Darrington Press for Daggerheart. You do not need to buy anything - once you’re added to our group, you’ll have access to all paid content I own. Character creation will happen during Session Zero (or your free 90-minute catch-up session if you join late), so you don’t need to come in with anything more than a few ideas. We’ll walk through the process step-by-step, making sure everyone understands how their abilities work and how their backstory ties into Elmore and the world around it. We’ll be starting at Level 1, with stats generated as part of Daggerheart’s creation process - no dice rolling or point-buy math required. You’re welcome to choose options from the official Daggerheart material, and you may also play content from The Void if you’d like to get a little extra weird. Whether you’re building a valiant hero, a scheming opportunist, or someone whose main talent is cooking stew while chaos erupts around them, we’ll make sure your character fits both the tone of the campaign and the fun, absurd spirit of Beast Feast.

Preparing for the session

Before you can dive into Beast Feast, there are just a couple of quick steps to get set up: Join the Campaign Discord – You’ll receive an invite link when you sign up. We’ll use this for voice and video during our sessions, as well as for scheduling, announcements, and general nonsense between games. Create a Demiplane Account – Head to Demiplane and sign up for a free account. Once you’re in, I’ll add you to our group and share all the paid Daggerheart content with you. Check Your Tech – Make sure your microphone, camera, and internet connection are ready for game night. We’ll be playing with both voice and video on, so we can see your reactions to the weird stuff in the Plover Caves. Bring Your Ideas – You don’t need a full character concept yet (we’ll make them together during Session Zero), but it’s helpful to think about the kind of personality, vibe, or backstory seeds you might want to explore.

What Ethan brings to the table

As your GM, my goal is to make Beast Feast feel like a living, breathing (and occasionally burping) world you can’t wait to explore. You can expect: Plenty of Character Voices – From nervous townsfolk to overconfident Beasts, I bring NPCs to life with distinct personalities and voices, so you’ll always know who’s talking… even if they’re a talking turnip. Detailed Theater of the Mind Combat – We won’t be moving miniatures on a grid, but battles will be described vividly so you can picture every absurd, dangerous, and hilarious moment. Story-First Play – Rules matter, but story matters more. I love a good bit of rule crunch, but if bending the rules a little keeps the scene flowing or makes something more epic, we’ll go with the Rule of Cool. A Welcoming, Inclusive Table – Whether you’re a first-time player or a seasoned adventurer, you’ll have space to explore your character, make choices that matter, and share in the spotlight. Expect a game that mixes laughter with just enough creepiness to keep you on your toes — a place where heartfelt moments, strange discoveries, and ridiculous hijinks live side-by-side.

How Ethan creates a safe table

During Session Zero, we’ll review Lines and Veils to establish what topics to avoid or handle gently, ensuring everyone feels safe. We’ll also share Stars and Wishes so I can tailor the game to what you enjoy most and what you’d like to see more of. This helps create a fun and comfortable space for everyone at the table.
