What Runsten brings to the table

Runsten will provide you a character driven story where your choices matter. Roleplay takes a center focus without forgetting epic combat encounters. Runsten creates unique voices for each NPC to make roleplay moments memorable. We play with rule of cool so creative choices are rewarded - but the dice ultimately decide the outcome. Runsten keeps the story always moving forward and even a failure will turn into an exciting story beat. Runsten will create an immersive open world with hex crawl exploration. Each location is unique and provides an exciting environment to explore. Runsten's Daggerheart games also feature collaborative worldbuilding, so you will get to add your mark into the world throughout the game. Runsten table is inclusive and LGBTQ friendly. LGBTQ stories and characters are a core part of the worlds in Runsten's games.

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.

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.
