About the adventure
A breath held before the choice… 🌿 The path ahead is never quite the same twice 🗡️ Triumph carries a cost, and failure changes everything 🔥 Hope rises even as Fear takes root ✨ What kind of hero will you become? This campaign is built to showcase Daggerheart at its best: a fantasy RPG where the story moves because of your decisions, where risk is encouraged, and where characters are shaped by what they dare to do, not just what they defeat. Here, success often comes with complications. Failure isn’t an end, but a turn in the road. Your character’s values, relationships, and inner conflicts matter just as much as their skills. The rules actively push the narrative forward, creating moments of tension, consequence, and emotional payoff. You and your fellow players will help define the tone, the stakes, and even the world itself as we play. Beyond the table lies the Witherwild — a land of tangled growth, old magic, and quiet unease. Forests reclaim forgotten places. Villages endure at the edge of something patient and watching. The wild is not cruel… but it is not kind either. The setting will unfold alongside your characters. What the Witherwild becomes depends on who you are, what you protect, and what you’re willing to risk. What to expect: 🌱 Player-driven storytelling. Your choices, beliefs, and relationships directly shape the narrative. 🔥 Meaningful risk & momentum. Big swings are encouraged, and every roll pushes the story somewhere new. 🎭 Emotion-forward fantasy. Moments of hope, doubt, sacrifice, and quiet triumph. ⚔️ Cinematic action. Fast, fluid scenes where combat and danger feel personal and story-relevant. 🧭 Collaborative worldbuilding. The world grows in response to the party, nothing is fixed until it matters. This campaign is planned for 5–10 sessions, with room to continue if the system and setting grab us. No prior experience with Daggerheart is required. Curiosity and a willingness to engage with the story are far more important. Step into a game where the rules support the drama. Where the story listens when you speak. Where hope is earned, and fear is never wasted. The Witherwild is waiting. What will you choose when the moment comes?

About me
With over a decade of experience running games I know how to craft an adventure that will shock and surprise you, placing YOU at the centre of world-shaping events. Every decision counts. Every roll of the dice changes the story. Every character gets their turn in the spotlight. Let's make some magic together! More about me: 🎥 I have a masters degree in film curation and have a passion for all things cinema. I carry this through to my games, bringing epic storylines inspired by a world of storytellers before me. Want to feel like the star of a Hollywood blockbuster, a Hong Kong martial arts hero, or a cigar-chewing spaghetti western cowboy? I know how stories function and how to make your dreams a reality. 🎲 I offer balanced yet challenging experiences that prioritise teamwork and foster a collaborative game between you and your fellow players. Exhilarating combat, free flowing role-play and unpredictable exploration means that you will get to experience all pillars of TTRPGS at a first class level unlike anything you've experienced before. 😄 I am approachable both in and out of game. Want to change something about your game? Let me know and I will always be happy to make adjustments. Looking for a place to call home? We foster a diverse community of players where all are welcome regardless of background. Need someone to lend an ear for some out-of-game issues? Let's talk. My door is always open. I hope to see you in game soon!
