About the adventure

"Five years ago, the servers for the incredibly popular and influential online RPG DAGGERWORLD were shut down. There, all the guilds, monsters, treasures, and memories sat growing hazy and forgotten. No one knows who, or how, or why, but the servers have come back online. Only a few accounts seem to be able to access the game world, or maybe only a few care. Regardless, those who are logging in are finding more than old NPCs and quests. Something has been growing in the past half a decade, and it’s not content to stay in the digital space. In a Return to Daggerworld campaign, you’ll login to a digital adventurer avatar and explore a forgotten online landscape in search of buried secrets and lost summer vacations. As your adventures unfurl, so to does the scope and threat of the campaign. It’s all fun and games... At first." The year is 2010. You've been running a game shop between you and your gamer friends for a number of years now. Barely surviving through the Great Recession, your shop is in need of a new angle to drive up business. And that new angle presents itself when the group of you find a copy of Daggerworld, and a database cache for server setup... In this Daggerworld campaign, control not only your "In-Game" avatar via your Daggerheart character sheet, but your "Gamer Persona" as well! Work together with your fellow players/shop co-owners and get to the bottom of the mystery surrounding this MMORPG that was suddenly shut down and abandoned. In this campaign, you will be allowed to pick any official/playtest material for your character, with new options- - Additional Class options include The Hunter, Inquisitor, and Thaumaturge - With the Hunter and Inquisitor, try out the new Mystery domain, especially suited for discovering the unknown, and putting the narrative pieces together... Solve the mystery of Daggerworld Online today; Test your traits!

About me

Forever passionate participant and observer of the arts. I love to create and see creative people out in the world! Technically played since I was a child, but really got into DMing in early 2019, picking up the role and falling in love with the hobby ever since. My games focus on the storybuilding aspect, encouraging player creativity & freedom. If you let me know what you want out of your character, I will give you the means to pursue it! We all love a good story, and those are best told together
