What to expect

Preparing for the session

Bring your curiosity, no further preparation needed. Play will take place over Discord voice chat and screen share. Players can use their own physical dice. Dagerheart is played with a pair of differently colored twelve-sided dice. (Not required to participate.) On my Discord server, I'll answer all questions you might have before or after the game.

What Peter Sapperlot brings to the table

This tutorial will give you a hands on introduction to the rules of Daggerheart. Within minutes, we'll jump into the action and learn the rest along the way. This tutorial is the perfect entry way to Daggerheart. It is suited for both total newcomers to the roleplaying hobby as well as for veterans of other game systems. The goal is for everyone to have fun with roleplaying. The rules of the game are important, but won't be the main focus of this session. I bring years of teaching experience to the table - guiding both players at the table and students at university.

Safety

How Peter Sapperlot creates a safe table

I take my players comfort and safety very seriously. I strive to create a welcoming space for people of all identities. With one exception: People who want to act out their fantasies of racism or sexism are not welcome. My fantasy worlds don't need systemic discrimination. The real world has enough of that as it is. Content: This short adventure will be family friendly with only minor elements of fantasy violence. Safety tools: I maintain an Open Door Policy. There won’t be any hard feelings or explanations needed, should you need to step away from the table – temporarily or permanently. There will also be a digital X-card feature. The at the start of the session we will address boundaries (lines&veils).
