Creating your character

Character creation will happen collaboratively. Everyone brings three character concepts to session 0 and develop their characters in concert with their fellow players. This way, we’ll start the campaign a team already tied by backstory. Possible examples for character concepts are: Paladin in a crisis of faith; or Rogue paying of a debt. Characters will start at level 1. You can choose from all the core rule book character options as well as from official playtest material. I am open for third-party content. You are new to Daggerheart? I am available for questions outside of game time. Please be aware, that this is not a game for murder-hobos or for big egos who try to dominate the conversation. At my tables, roleplaying is a team sport. It is also not a game for people who want to act out their fantasies of racism or sexism.

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 During game time, we'll be using Alchemy VTT. You will need a free account at alchemyrpg.com/. Try making a character in my custom Daggerheart module on Alchemy: https://app.alchemyrpg.com/i/PbQzYm2Hj I recommend downloading the desktop app. A browser version is also available. There you can also create and manage your character.

What Peter Sapperlot brings to the table

⛱️A Literal Sandbox Wherever you go in the desert, whatever you do, there will never be just a single fixed path to get you to your destination. There is never just the one “right” solution you need to discover or fail to progress. In Daggerheart you can open any door – and have fun with whatever trouble awaits on the other side. 🧪Immersive and easy online play experience Gorgeous, human-drawn scenes by Czepeku underscored with some catchy tunes and the occasional sound effect. Easy access to all your character stats and resources. A good overview of all your abilities and features.

I can portray a diverse cast of characters and bringing them to live with a wide range of voices. 💡Learn-to-play You are new to Daggerheart? I’ll gladly answer all your questions. Daggerheart’s rules are easy to pick up and I am an experienced and patient teacher. Also, in this campaign, I will never have your knowledge of the rules be the limiting factor for your character’s story or development. 🐣 You are new to roleplaying games in general? Hop on in! Daggerheart is easier to learn than D&D, for sure. 🎲🗡️🫀🧪Play Daggerheart on Alchemy before anybody else! But wait, you say! Daggerheart has not released on Alchemy?! That is right, we will be using my custom-made Daggerheart module for the Alchemy client.

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 for all of you 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, like a flock of very nervous birds. 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 game. 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.
