About the adventure
The outer village of Xilven, at the edge of the Far Forest. The body of a Sister of Silks lays bloody under the half-shadow of the treeline. You are a Truthweaver. You bring justice to the faraway places that need it. You obey the command of no king, but the needs of the free people. You and your party sail lazily upstream, over the blood-red waters of the Cicaro river. Towards the edge of the known world. What will you find at the edge of civilization? What dark mysteries will you uncover? And what peers at you from among those ancient trees? ------------------------------------------------------------ Hi! this is a starter campaign for Daggerheart, starting at lvl.1, made with both beginners and intermediate players in mind. It's a dark mystery game, meant to run for somewhere around 15 sessions. Here you'll find occult mysteries, strange lore, adventure, a hint of horror, combat and collaborative storytelling. Newcomers welcome! This is a great opportunity to learn the system with guidance. This game is voice-only. The first session of this campaign will be a session 0, where characters will be developed as a group and parts of the world will be fleshed out cooperatively!

About me
Hi! I'm GM Diego. I've been playing TTRPGS for about a decade, GMing for a little over 5 years, and loving it more every day. Most of my experience is with D&D 5th edition, but I've also run games with Call of Cthulhu, Dread, Blades in the Dark and more recently Daggerheart. I'm an architect by training (expect to see maps) and a lover of weird fiction, the strange and surreal, the fantastic and magical. I like introducing these elements into my games, whether in a whimsical or darker fashion. I love the feeling of getting lost in a fictional world, and nothing makes me happier than creating those experiences for other people.

Creating your character
-Once you join, you can send me your Demiplane username or email. I'll then share content with you, giving you access to all character options. I'll also send you a link to a discord server, where you can discuss character creation with your fellow players. -You can start sketching your character beforehand if you like, but creation will be honed during the session 0, through background and relationship questions . I'll provide assistance and feedback as necessary, before, during and after. -We will build character sheets using demiplane (you will need a free demiplane account), and link them to roll20 (you will also need a free roll20 account), which we will use for battlemaps. -You may use all official Daggerheart material, and content from The Void to make your character (though, if content from The Void gets updated, so will the in-game version of those options). -You may use mixed ancestries (following the official rules).
What to expect
Preparing for the session
You will need: -A mic -A free Roll20 account -A free Demiplane account, linked to your Roll20 one. -Discord I'll have a one-on-one conversation with each players before adding them to the group, to clarify any doubts and give them a chance to ask questions. If you don't know anything at all about the system, let me know in advance and I'll give you some guidance. I'll also share the rule book with you over Demiplane so you can read the relevant parts at your own pace.
