Borderlands: Red Veil (a Daggerheart homebrew campaign)

Creating your character

We'll be creating Level 1 characters together on Demiplane before the first session. No prior Daggerheart experience is needed—we’ll walk through everything step by step! All official options are welcome unless otherwise noted, and this game is beginner-friendly, so feel free to come in with just a concept or vibe. If you already know what you want to play, even better!

Preparing for the session

Before we play, make sure you’ve done the following: Create a free account on Demiplane – We’ll use this to build and manage characters. Join the game’s Discord server – All communication, scheduling, and sessions will happen here. Be ready to use voice chat on Discord – A mic is needed, but no webcam is required. That’s it! No software to download beyond Discord, and everything else will be taught as we go. Come as you are—we’re here to have fun and tell a great story together.

What Rob the DM brings to the table

This game is all about collaborative storytelling, character-driven choices, and a world that listens and responds to your actions. I’ll be providing ambient music, custom artwork, and full access to the Daggerheart campaign book through Demiplane—everything you need to immerse yourself in the Borderlands. I run games with a focus on narrative, mood, and emotional beats. Expect a mix of exploration, meaningful choices, and dynamic, fast-paced combat where the fiction matters as much as the dice. Daggerheart encourages creativity within structure, so we’ll lean into the intent of the rules to support great roleplay and dramatic moments. You'll hear character voices, get vivid scene-setting, and experience a tone that blends mythic frontier mystery with personal storytelling. My goal is to create a space that’s safe, welcoming, and full of strange beauty—where you can tell a story that matters to you.

Homebrew rules

Since Daggerheart is still new, we’ll be sticking closely to the core rules as written for now—no homebrew mechanics or major rule changes. This helps us all learn the system together and keeps things consistent and fair across the table. That said, I’m always open to cool character concepts, creative choices, and narrative flexibility within the system.

How Rob the DM creates a safe table

This game is built on trust, respect, and collaboration. Before we begin, I’ll be sharing an RPG Consent Checklist that each player can fill out privately. It helps us set clear boundaries and ensure everyone feels comfortable with the story we’re telling. We’ll go over safety tools, tone, and expectations in Session 0, including how we’ll handle intense moments, share the spotlight, and check in with each other throughout the game. If anything ever feels uncomfortable—during play or after—you’re always welcome to message me privately, speak up, or ask for a pause. This is a consent-first, LGBTQ+ inclusive table. Everyone deserves to feel safe, respected, and excited to be here. If we need to adjust anything along the way, we will—together.
