About the adventure

Join us on a high fantasy adventure through the Forgotten Realms. We took a classic D&D setting and adapted it for Daggerheart. An unholy blight has afflicted the land, its corrupted roots reach deep into the subterranean Underdark. On the surface political intrigue and sinister machinations render the cities of the Sword Coast defenseless. The land is in dire need of heroes. This campaign started as an adaptation of the D&D adventure "Waterdeep: Dragon Heist" but has long since left that trodden path and blazed its own trail. Its truly original story is entirely shaped by the player characters, their actions and their backstory. Come along and it will become your story too! We are open for new players to join us on this journey. I will weave your character ideas into the established fabric of our story, as if they had been there from the beginning. HIGHLIGHTS ✨Collaborative Storytelling - Your ideas shape the world we play in. ✨Human art by real people. No generative AI in sight. ✨Friendly to all LGBTQ+. I strive for a welcoming and safe table. ✨Learn to play. New system? No problem! I am a patient and passionate teacher.

Character creation

Creating your character

I will help you to create a character who's motivation and backstory fit into the existing party with ease. Your character will start at level 4 or 5, depending on the current progress of the party. You can choose from all published material. I am open to including playtest material as well.

The current party

Annar Vael (divine wielder seraph), a paladin who abandoned a cruel god and instead swore fealty to Helm, the god of protection; Levrik Lightfall (vengeance guardian), a stoic sailor who just wants to help his brother get out of debt; Moss (warden of the elements druid), a druid searching for a cure for a blight that affected his people. The party is currently level 4. The party could use someone with decent Presence to be their Face.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

“Those of you who haven’t played with Alchemy before: it is so cinematic, it is so moody, it is so cool.” – Spencer Stark, Daggerheart creator Alchemy VTT We'll be using a virtual tabletop, specifically Alchemy. Of all the programs to play online, Alchemy might well be the easiest to use and the prettiest to look at. Discord You will need a discord account for communication between games. New to Daggerheart? I'll happily show you the ropes. You can also learn about the Daggerheart basics here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bV2K5eoJgk

Safety

How Peter Sapperlot creates a safe table

The internet is dark and full of terrors. I wish to carve out a tiny enclave of safety and inclusion at my table. During a Session 0 we will address expectations and wishes for the campaign. We will also determine topics or tropes players do not want to encounter in their stories, so called Lines (hard boundaries) and Veils (topics that can be implied, but should not be spotlighted). During weekly sessions I will maintain an Open Door Policy. There won’t be any hard feelings or explanations needed, should you ever wish to step away from the table – temporarily or permanently. Furthermore, Alchemy offers an X-card feature. Leaving is a measure of last resort. Preferably, players use the X-card to indicate when something in the narrative makes them feel uncomfortable or unsafe. In the middle of every session, there will be short break for everyone to recharge. Before and after every session there will be short check-in, an opportunity for anyone to share how they are holding up – with regards to the game as well as in real life. As a player, I never liked tables where everybody just dashes away after the curtain falls. Sharing, naturally, always remains optional. As part of that aftercare, I will use Stars&Wishes. At the end of each session, players can award a Star to highlight a moment, other player or NPC. I will then encourage everyone to express a Wish, something they would like to see change in future sessions, or an idea they would like to become part of the shared narrative. I strongly believe in trust as the fundamental pillar of any TTRPG table. Without trust creativity can’t flourish, let alone any collaborative storytelling. Therefore, I will always strive to be a patient teacher, an attentive listener and an inclusive, non-judgemental host.
