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.

I always ensure that picking up the rules blends seamlessly in as part of the experience. Theater and improv are near and dear to my heart. Here you can roleplay to your hearts content and I will match the energy with evocative NPCs. Rule of Cool defines my table. Bring your craziest ideas to the table and we can see how we can make it work - be the dice willing. 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. Finally, your safety is important and I prioritize fostering an inclusive table, so that players from all backgrounds feel welcome here. Looking forward to telling stories with you~!

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.
