About the adventure
Ever wanted to try a tabletop RPG that’s easy to pick up but full of creative possibilities? Look no further! Daggerheart, the innovative 2d12 system from Darrington Press and the minds behind Critical Role, blends simplicity with deep storytelling. As your guide, I’ll break down the rules in a way that’s both fun and easy to learn. -Marlowe Fairwind, King Emeris' most trusted sorceress, has assembled a team for a vital mission: Deliver a mysterious, magically sealed crate to the Whitefire Arcanist in the isolated village of Hush. The cargo is large, heavy, and clearly important—though its contents remain a secret. You've been provided with a map and a carriage... and the promise of generous payment upon safe delivery. But the path through the ancient Sablewood is never straightforward. What awaits in the shadows of the forest?

About me
Greetings, fellow adventurers! I am Jorge Campos, a seasoned Game Master from Perú, with 25 years of immersive experience in the realms of tabletop role-playing games, both in English and Spanish. My journey through the worlds of AD&D to the latest 5th edition, the eldritch horrors of Call of Cthulhu, the intrigues of Vampire: The Masquerade, the post-apocalyptic landscapes of Ten Candles, the relentless undead challenges in All Flesh Must Be Eaten, and numerous other TTRPG systems has shaped me into a storyteller of diverse tales. My passion for storytelling is not only fueled by the captivating worlds of TTRPGs but also by my role as a father. My baby daughter, a beacon of inspiration, is the driving force behind my quest to become a master storyteller.

Creating your character
We'll be using premade characters so we can jump right into the adventure: -Marlowe Fairwind (Elf Sorcerer) – The king’s composed (but fiery) arcane envoy. (Required for the story!) -Garrick Reed (Human Warrior) – A deserter who fights with charm as fiercely as his blade. -Khari Nix (Giant Guardian) – A born protector with a wit as sharp as her axe. -Barnacle (Ribbet Rogue) – A daredevil who’d rather face dragons than dip a toe in water. -Varian Soto (Katari Ranger) – When in doubt, shoot first. Questions are optional.
Beginner friendly!
