About the adventure
***STARTING October 4*** **This game will be streamed live; preference will go to Players with clear video/audio** Based upon the legendary and often copied Seven Samurai by Akira Kurosawa, this short campaign allows you to step into the shoes of a hero that is fighting against the impossible. Seven heroes will defend a village of farmers against a hoard of bandits, dozens strong at least. You will need to navigate the simple, but fragile, local politics as elders and the young bicker about what to do. You will need to train these villagers to help where they can or organize shelter for the helpless if they cannot. And, of course, you will need to plan the defense of the village and stand as its greatest weapon. Will you come together, with the other heroes of various backgrounds, to overcome the challenges ahead? Will you win the trust of these farmers, who have only known brutality from those with power? Will you defeat the bandit hoards, so that they never return? What will it cost?

Creating your character
We will create characters during our FREE Session 0! I provide Demiplane access, form-fillable PDF character sheets, and/or Roll20 for character creation/management. Ahead of time, please check out the cards and text in the Daggerheart core book or the FREE rules downloads available at Daggerheart.com. In addition to the Core Mechanics and Character Creation options, be sure to check out the Best Practices and roleplay advice throughout the book for Players. Be prepared to come to Session 0 with a spirit of collaboration, a generous attitude towards creativity, and the willingness to try new things. You may create 'practice characters' ahead of time, but come to Session 0 with an open mind. For a good reference on how this will function, consider the Age of Umbra Session 0 as a guide: https://youtu.be/4VyFOXBU8dM?si=CC8NPWrQh6iPfRYz
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Please make sure you have a Discord account, a Roll20 account, a Demiplane account (optional), a clear microphone, and a copy of the Daggerheart core book (optional but highly recommended). While the Daggerheart core book is not essential to play, the details provided and the excellent advice throughout is very helpful. Plus, the cards that come with are a great reminder for gameplay. The free rules on Daggerheart.com will also suffice.
What Jeremiah | The Direpug Storyteller brings to the table
Above all, I provide a consistent schedule with a game story that revolves around YOU and your choices. I will provide a Discord channel for the Players to talk casually, communicate OOC during game, post character arts, and facilitate voice chat during session. I will use Roll20 and Demiplane to conduct the maps and gameplay, with additional music and atmosphere. I will stick to rules as written, with a spirit of rules as intended, to make the most dramatically satisfying role-playing campaign that I can. I will sometimes voice act, and I will provide a complex social/political narrative with an array of unforgettable NPCs, dangerous encounters, and the fate of the village (and your lives) on the line.
Homebrew rules
I may employ a loose set of turn tracking rules if I need to help ensure shy/less loud Players get a fair turn at the Spotlight, if needed.

How Jeremiah | The Direpug Storyteller creates a safe table
We will go over Lines & Veils during Session 0, and may be amended at any time. We take mid-session Breaks, have an Open Table policy, and will provide Aftercare on occasion after heavier/darker sessions. X's can be used at any time in any way the Player feels comfortable.
