About the adventure

🗡️ New to Daggerheart? This could be the game for you. 💠 You were chosen by fate. After 1000 years the barrier, set by the fallen Goddess, no longer shelters you. You share a connection to her soul shards that could ressurect her at the far end of the world. Now you must gather your fellowhip and travel accross a cataclysmic continent to save your world. Inspired by the Journey to Horizon hexcrawl campaign frame, explore an open world in this Zelda: Breath of the Wild meets Dragon Prince custom campaign. 🗺️ Explore an Uncharted World. The game features custom hex crawl exploration where you get to map your course as you go. The exploration is also challenging by limiting Long Rests to only safe havens. Will you uncover the secrets of the land and make it to the end? 📖 Learn to play Daggerheart. The game is welcome to both new and experienced players of Daggerheart. The GM will guide you through the system and you will learn the game as you play. The new Hope & Fear content like the Witch class is also available for play. Experience a whole campaign from level 1-10. 🌈 LGBTQ+ Friendly. Runsten's table is welcome to all LGBTQ+ folks and LGBTQ+ stories and characters are a core part of Runsten's worlds.

About me

Hi I’m Runsten~! ✨ I'm a non-binary storydriven GM from the Nordics with 7 years of experience behind the GM screen. I have a background in theater and improv and bring a roleplay rich experience to my table. Here you will find storydriven systems like Dagggerheart, Thirsty Sword Lesbians, The Hidden Isle - and some D&D. I run my games with the Rule of Cool so bring your craziest ideas to the table and we can see how we can make it work! 💖✨ In my games I love to create the story collaboratively with my players. I always incorporate players backstories into the story and create evocative scenes where the players choices matter. If you are new here, no worries. I love introducing TTRPGs to new players. And with new systems I always ensure that picking up the rules blends seamlessly in as part of the play. I foster an inclusive table, and players from all backgrounds are welcome here. Let’s play and weave an awesome story together~! 💫✨

Homebrew rules

Hexcrawl exploration - The adventure features special exploration rules for a storydriven hexcrawl experience. Limited Resting - You can only Long Rest in sanctuaries (safe hexes). During exploration, you can only Short Rest 3 times between sanctuaries. This is to make the exploration challenging and exciting.

Safety

How Runsten creates a safe table

Safety tools are central to foster a enjoyable playing environment. Each game includes a session 0 where we go through the themes of the game and set ground rules for the game together. Before the game, we use Lines and Veils to figure out what topics each player is comfortable with at the table. During play, we use X cards to signal if a topic is uncomfortable for you or another player. We then change the story to remove the uncomfortable part from play. Finally, we use Stars and Wishes at the end of each session. With Stars, you can tell what you liked about the session. With Wishes, what you would like to see in the next session. This way we keep an open dialogue and the game can evolve into the best version for our group through feedback.
