CURSE OF STRAHD ⚔️ DAGGERHEART Remix [Play-by-Post][1 week free]

Creating your character

I will set up a time for a short call or Discord chat with the player individually. We will go over a couple of preliminary things and I will ask the player to come up with a few ideas for different characters. They will bring those ideas to session zero and share them with the group. We'll build our characters together, then players will have the opportunity to go to Heroforge.com and build their custom mini. Finally, I ask players to write a paragraph or two on their backstory, which I will work into the story.

Preparing for the session

Must have accounts on the following websites (all accounts are free, no premium memberships necessary) - The Forge Discord Hero Forge (for mini creation)

What Chris brings to the table

Our games are an exercise in collaborative storytelling, where GM and player both make decisions that dictate the direction of the story. As the GM, I provide players with a premium and immersive experience by using high-quality animated maps, music, sounds, animations--even with a pbp game because we are still using a VTT for our combat encounters. I'm a huge fan of my players! Providing an awesome experience for them is my number one priority. And as a reward to all who play in a long-form campaign (3 months or more) from start to finish, my players will receive a custom mini of their PC that I will print, paint, and send to them.

Homebrew rules

While homebrew rules when I feel they are needed, I haven't yet found much to homebrew with Daggerheart yet. The book does have several instances where optional rules are offered and I'm generally in favor of them. These rules include: OPTIONAL RULE: MASSIVE DAMAGE If you ever take damage equal to double your Severe threshold, you mark 4 Hit Points. OPTIONAL RULE: DEFINED RANGES If your table would rather operate with more precise range rules, you can use a 1-inch grid battle map during combat. If you do, use the following guidelines for play: Melee: 1 square, Very Close: 3 squares, Close: 6 squares, Far: 12 squares, Very Far: 13+ squares, Out of Range: Off the battlemap OPTIONAL RULE: GOLD COINS If your group wants to track gold more granularly, you can add coins as your lowest denomination. Following the established pattern, 10 coins equal 1 handful.

How Chris creates a safe table

I will ask all players to look over the campaign's content warnings and list some lines and veils they might have. I also have them fill out the Monty Cook checklist. Then I compile these and go over some limits in Session 0 so everyone is aware. I will also offer open door breaks if needed and utilize stars and wishes as well.
