About the adventure
The year is 201X, and adventuring is viral again. Once every four years, the global sensation Race To The Top! returns — a six-month marathon of quests, good deeds, PR stunts, and acts of (in)famy that will make or break your reputation. Teams from around the world will compete for glory, sponsorships, and the spotlight on the Weavenet, where millions of fans and the legendary guild Children of the Twenty-First Century watch every move. Adventure is calling, and it knows your address. Will you open the door and climb to #1? *** This beginner-friendly Daggerheart campaign, inspired by the critically acclaimed MMORPG Final Fantasy XIV, is set in Tellus, a modern world where magic and technology coexist: smartphones meet spellbooks, and livestreams share space with ley lines. Form your party, chase fame or redemption, stop (or start) global catastrophes, and shape the future of adventuring itself. If you love urban fantasy/sci-fi, meta-humor, and cinematic worldbuilding, this is your stage. Join the Race. Become the legend.

About me
Hi there, the name's Gene! I'm a storyteller at heart, and I've been in the world of roleplaying games for well over 10 years. If you're looking for a game where you can immerse yourself fully, then I am happy to be of service. Let's make some great stories worth remembering!
View Profile →Character creation
Creating your character
Character creation can be handled via Foundry or on Demiplane. All core rules Classes, Ancestries, and Backgrounds are fully allowed unless stated otherwise on Session 0. Let’s avoid homebrew for now. I’m still getting a feel for the system. Content from the Void is subject to permission, as it’s still being tested and I’d rather keep the experience stable and predictable for everyone.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need: - a Discord account, - and an account on the Forge to access the VTT. I will send the link to the Discord channel as soon as you sign up!
What Gene brings to the table
I will provide the VTT in the form of Foundry for some battle visuals, but most of the atmosphere will come from (questionable) voice-acting, (exquisite) music selection, and (hopefully) immersive descriptions. Daggerheart encourages RoC, but for technical stuff, we will stick to RaW and my rulings in case the former is vague :)
Homebrew rules
Mechanically, the rules of the base game will still be applied, however, you can flavour your class and character to better align with the modern setting however you wish. The world guide document will be linked in the Discord.
