About the adventure
You awaken in a place built to contain nightmares. The air burns with the scent of sulfur, the walls hum with binding wards, and your own reflection looks less human than you remember. You are one of those nightmares the world fears. A monster born from something supernatural. Perhaps cursed, perhaps chosen. Whatever you are, a devil has claimed you, locking you among others like yourself for reasons that elude you. Some prisoners say he seeks to master your kind. Others believe he is creating something worse. The truth hides somewhere within these walls, buried beneath failed experiments and the echoes of those who did not survive. If you wish to escape, you must uncover why you were taken, and how to end the devil’s plans once and for all. Otherwise, you might end up right back where you started. This is a Daggerheart story of monsters, freedom, and the price of power. This adventure will be run as a series of three separate one-shots. Going from level one to three. Please feel free to sign up for a single session only or multiple.

About me
👋 Hey there! I'm a GM who absolutely loves running games. With five years of ttrpg experience under my belt, including three years as a GM, I bring a ton of enthusiasm and know-how to every session. I'm originally from Scotland, but I've been living in Japan for over a decade, working as an English teacher (sensei). My Japanese isn't perfect, but I get by just fine. I often play online games with fellow expats and run games in Tokyo. Because of the time zone difference, I might take a bit longer to respond, but I always try to reply as quickly as possible via SP or my discord server. For me, clear communication is key. I think most issues can be sorted out by talking things through, so I always offer a short, optional review session after each game. Before we dive into a one-shot, adventure, or campaign, I make sure to explain how everything will run to keep things smooth and fun for everyone. I look forward to rolling some dice with you!

Creating your character
We will be using Demiplane for character creation and game management. After you sign up for the session, you’ll receive an invite to my Discord server, where you’ll find additional details and the Demiplane group link. Starting Level: Level 1 Content: All official content including void content. Ancestry: All ancestries are allowed. Mixed ancestry options are allowed. Community: Choose a community that reflects where you came from. This helps anchor your character in the world and gives you a sense of belonging or loss to build upon. Class: All official classes are permitted unless otherwise stated. Background Story: Write a short paragraph summarizing who your character is and what drives them. Because this is a one-shot, we’ll focus on the immediate story rather than lengthy backstory exploration. We will do background and connection questions at the start of the session. Consider how your character obtained their own unique transformation. Equipment and Items: Characters begin with tier 1 gear for their class. If your character concept includes a unique or thematic item, you’re welcome to discuss it with me for potential inclusion. Balance and story fit will always take priority. Transformations: Choose one transformation that ties in with your characters backstory. 1. Werewolf 🐺 2. Vampire 🧛 3. Reanimated 🧟♂️ 4. Shapeshifter 🧍♂️ 5. Ghost 👻 6. Demigod 🌞
This game session is part 1 of 3. Players are requested to create a level 1 character with a transformation selected.

What Scottish Sensei brings to the table
Full Access to Daggerheart — All purchased PDFs and Demiplane content, so you’ll have the rules and options at your fingertips. A Smooth Online Experience — An organized Discord server for scheduling and roleplay chat, plus an Owlbear Rodeo 2.0 subscription with custom maps to keep battles and exploration clear and engaging. Visual Immersion — Custom tokens and art assets that bring your characters, NPCs, and the world to life. Supportive GM Style — I focus on cinematic storytelling, collaborative roleplay, and tactical but fast-moving combat. Rules are important, but I embrace the Rule of Cool when it makes the story more exciting.
Homebrew rules
I don’t use additional homebrew rules. Daggerheart already encourages creativity and collaboration right out of the box. The system is designed for player driven storytelling, so if you want to try unique ideas or custom twists, we’ll work them into the narrative together in a way that fits the world.
