Five Banners Burning [Daggerheart || PbP || FREE SESSION ZERO]

Creating your character

We will create Daggerheart characters using Demiplane - Characters will start at level 1, using the typical array - All ancestries, communities and classes from the Daggerheart Core Rulebook are permitted - The Assassin, Brawler, Warlock and Witch classes are permitted - The Aetheris, Earthkin, Emberkin, Gnome, Skykin and Tidekin ancestries are permitted - The Duneborne, Freeborne, Frostborne, Hearthborne, Reborne and Warborne communities are permitted

Preparing for the session

You will need: 1) A Discord account, 2) An Owlbear Rodeo account (free), and 3) A Demiplane account (free) I will enable content sharing on Demiplane, so you should not need to purchase the rulebook online.

What Dave brings to the table

I will be using Discord as the forum for our game (text only, so no need for a camera or microphone!) I will also be using Owlbear Rodeo for battle maps, and Demiplane for characters levelling up etc. I love roleplaying and combat, though I generally favour the former. In this module, you are encouraged to try to avoid combat, and with me there is almost always a noncombative option. I invite my players to try anything they like to avoid unnecessary fighting - that is, if they *want* to avoid fighting... My favourite part in any game begins when a player throws caution to the wind and says, "I want to try something crazy," because you know you're in for a treat! I embrace the Rule of Cool whenever possible, especially in character-driven moments, to encourage players to push the boat out and give it a shot. Just hope that the dice are in your favour too!
 I aim to post 1-2 times per day to advance the story, while also being around to answer any queries players may have. Play-by-post is a much slower format than face-to-face games, and I want to remedy this as best I can.

Homebrew rules

- Massive Damage: Dealing damage that is at least double a creature's Severe threshold will result in them marking more than 3 Hit Points. - Scars: If a PC chooses to Avoid Death as a Death Move, they automatically gain a Scar instead of rolling.

How Dave creates a safe table

I will be providing a RPG Safety Tools checklist of themes for players to fill out anonymously. As your Dungeon Master, it is my duty and responsibility to ensure everyone has the best time possible in a safe environment. Communication and trust are key - if there is anything that is making you uncomfortable in the game, I will do my best to fix and resolve the problem as quickly as possible.
