About the adventure
- Zero-Stress Onboarding: No homework or rulebooks required! Choose from a curated roster of pre-generated heroes and learn the mechanics dynamically as we play. - Cutting-Edge 3D Visuals: Experience combat like never before on a fully realized 3D battlemap featuring immersive 3D tokens, dynamic verticality, and animated environmental special effects. - Rich Narrative Roleplay: From investigating the eerie, fog-shrouded town of Hush to tracking down a reclusive alchemist, your character's choices and interactions drive the story. - The Duality of Hope & Fear: Master Daggerheart's core dice mechanic, where every roll actively builds momentum for the party or hands narrative complications directly to the DM. - An Epic Final Stand: Hold the line alongside the enigmatic Whitefire Arcanist—a brilliant, humanoid dragonfly mage—as you defend a cosmic ritual from waves of corrupted, soil-born monsters. Your quest kicks off in the blood-soaked dirt of the forest floor, stumbling upon a fierce Strixwolf protecting her cubs over the shattered remains of a slaughtered merchant. Before the dust can even settle from this grim discovery, the deceptive Thistlefolk launch a coordinated ambush from the canopy, forcing your party to weaponize the fully three-dimensional environment to survive. If you make it past the road, the sanctuary of Hush awaits—but safety is an illusion. You must navigate the town’s tense social landscape to locate a missing alchemist, ultimately leading you to a hidden, magical hut deep in the brush. There, you will meet the Whitefire Arcanist. To save the region, you won't just be watching a spell take place; you will be an active part of the magic. As ancient, chittering horrors claw their way out of the very earth beneath your feet, your fellowship must protect the Arcanist at all costs. Hold the line, manage your resources, and defend the ritual until the ward is fully restored. Are you ready to roll the Duality Dice and see if Hope can outshine the growing Fear? Claim your seat, grab your digital cards, and let's forge a new legend.

About me
I've been my friends forever GM since 3.5 and 1e pathfinder and have loved doing it! During Covid, I really started to enjoy playing DnD using Foundry and Roll20, being able to draw up my own maps and tokens without an expensive trip to the game shop. I focus on running official modules and one shots to make things a bit easier while I draw up my own custom campaign based on things that my players enjoy! My style tends to be survival and RP heavy sessions instead of just gathering numbers, and I really enjoy gothic/dark settings. My first question to you as a player will always be "What are you comfortable with and what is a hard limit" to ensure everyone is comfortable and having a fun time, and the end of sessions will most often be me asking for feedback on my performance as a DM so I can always improve. I am also a streamer (a VTuber nonetheless) but sessions will NOT be streamed/recorded without unanimous consent from the group.
