About the adventure
When the ancestors of the enemy city, “Haven,” killed a god they cursed themselves for generations— the serpent’s sickness. Now Haven is trying to make that your problem. They have invaded your fields, mutilated the goddess owl that presides over sowing and reaping, and caused a second curse to flood your lands as well— the witherwild. If there is a solution to the curse on your lands, it may require you solve the curse on theirs. But it will mean sacrifice— conquest always has repercussions, after all. You will work as a small team of freedom fighters surviving the horrible curse on your land while pushing back on the invaders and maybe, with time, restore the balance of reaping and sowing to cure the “witherwild.” And maybe, just maybe, discover the cause and the solution to the Serpent’s Sickness along the way. Mood and Tone: Compassion and desperation. Hope hidden in the past and the future. Sacrifice. Non violent solutions. Death matters. And more to discuss at session zero! Daggerheart is a heroic fantasy game system with some easy to learn/fun to master resource mechanics, as well as Duality Dice, where which dice you roll highest on determines if you get empowered… or the GM does. Learn while you play! Beginners welcome to this brand new game!

About me
I've been gaming and running games for over thirty years, and been a professional freelancer and indie designer for over twenty. (Sentences like this sometimes makes one question their life choices.) I also spent almost ten years teaching English as a second or foreign language from kindergartners to conversation seeking adults as well as for those who had professional needs. Classroom management is a little easier than herding cats, and that's just a little easier than GMing strangers, and I've got the chops for all three. (Ask me for pictures of my cats.) I'm a lover of all the wildest indie games out there, and I've written for a bunch of traditional games you know and love. Hit me up, whatever game you love, I might be able to run it for you. If you want an idea of how I run my own game, #iHunt, here's an actual play with the AMAZING crew of the Critshow! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb9QudaBHls Hit me up, and let's get you gaming!

Creating your character
We'll use Demiplane's character builder for ease of getting started! If you have any trouble with that, get in touch! I can probably help! (You should be able to build your character with a free account!)
What to expect
Preparing for the session
As mentioned, you'll need a free account with Demiplane and Discord. That's it!
What F Young brings to the table
I'll set the mood of a grim and growing dark fantasy adventure I'll provide maps, challenges, and a cast of characters, and plenty of drama to keep you on your feet! Since its release, I have run dozens of games of Daggerheart, as much as a teacher of the game as a GM. So I'm here to help you learn and love this game the way I do!
Homebrew rules
Mostly rules as written, but I will allow "Void" (play testing material).

How F Young creates a safe table
We'll use a redlight-greenlight system while playing together to protect your enjoyment at the table and avoid topics that will make things un-fun for everyone! I'll explain all that in detail in Session 0! We'll be using the CATS method with session zero to cover everything from themes, subjects to touch on or to leave off screen and feel enthusiastic about the game!
