About the adventure

When the earth shakes, people die. Out in the Drylands, entire towns vanish beneath the feet of ancient colossi rising from beneath the sands. Rail lines collapse. Rivers dry up overnight. Strange creatures emerge in their wake. Every new titan brings the world one step closer to ruin. You are hunters, drifters, outlaws, mercenaries, and survivors chasing impossible contracts across the frontier. Some fight for money. Others for revenge, faith, glory, or the desperate hope that the next colossus can actually be stopped. This Daggerheart campaign combines weird western grit with mythic monster hunting. Each arc centers around tracking and bringing down a colossal titan: investigating devastated settlements, navigating dangerous factions, rescuing survivors, uncovering buried secrets, and ultimately climbing onto creatures the size of mountains to strike at their weak points. Between hunts, the world keeps moving. You may defend a dust-blown town from raiders, investigate vanished caravans, survive supernatural storms, rob a moving train, or deal with the fallout left behind after a titan falls. These quieter moments give characters room to build relationships, make enemies, and shape the future of the frontier. No Daggerheart experience required. Just bring a character with grit, ambition, and something worth fighting for.

Safety

How Joe (Phoenix) creates a safe table

Session Zero will go over personal rules, guidelines, safety tools and where to find and access them in the discord. I use the rules more like guidelines. I'm not a big stickler for the rules. My goal is for players to just have fun with it.
