About the adventure
Enter the Bastion of Hope: A Daggerheart Campaign: Welcome brave adventurers! The world is subjugated by a handful of dragons and undead overlords. They rule bustling cities where precarity keeps workers hungry and desperate. Massive obelisks siphon people’s innate magic, rendering total power to the overlords. After centuries, one nation has shattered the towers and slain their draconic overlord. In a Bastion of Hope campaign, you’ll take up arms against the wealthy and face impossible odds to spread hope and end the age of tyrants. This Bastion of Hope campaign promises an enthralling adventure filled with bone-crunching battles, secrets to discover, political intrigue, espionage, and deciding the fates of nations. From lush forests filled with wonderous creatures, to cities of technological marvel, to long lost dungeon ruins of absent gods, to plains that look like the heavens themselves, and to places you help create, as Daggerheart is a system that deeply encourages collaborative world building and story telling. Will you join the fight in defending a new and free nation? One whose very existence is so delicate, is it finds itself encircled by nations ruled over by other greedy dragon lords and liches? Gather your party, sharpen your wits, steel your hearts and get ready for a collaboratively told campaign using Darrington Press' fun and intuitive Daggerheart system. The current state of play: This is a BRAND NEW campaign! We will be starting at level 1, and this is an excellent choice if you are looking to learn how to play the wonderfully expressive and multiple-award wining Daggerheart system, a system designed with epic story telling, as well as cool and crunchy mechanics, in mind. What to expect: 🖥️ ⛰️ 🎵 - Deep immersions thanks to atmospheric visuals, effects, music and atmospheres brought to life thanks the magic of Foundry VTT. 🧭🥾 - An exnihilating campaign that will keep players on their toes, with plenty of twists, shocks and difficult decisions to be made. 💬 Plenty of chances for deep and meaningfully roleplay on a warm and welcoming table. 🎙️🎭 Deep narration and expertly voiced NPCs by an amateur voice actor and improv performer. ⚔️🏹 Crunchy, challenging and creative combat. With several options in how to approach and manage tense combat against powerful and devious foes. 🐉 🧟 Face off against truly diabolic villains, who have it out for Bastion, and even each other!

About me
Hello to all you wonderful players and fellow GMs! My name is Cosmo The GM and I’ve been running and playing games of D&D since 2019, and I’ve loved playing roleplay video games ever since I first played the first 'Legend of Zelda' game on the NES way back in the early 90s. Since then, I've gone on to fall in love with and play many RPGs, from many of the Final Fantasy games, to Skyrim and the Witcher 3, to the modern masterpiece of Baldur's Gate 3. When I first played D&D, it sparked a passion in me that has brought me so much joy. The ability to be able to tell collaborative stories with friends and strangers, who then became good friends, alike. While I still love video games, they are still limited somewhat by their coding and programming. D&D and other TTRPGs are more or less limited by your imagination, and that has huge appeal. Live play shows and the work of DMs like Matt Mercer, Brennan Lee Mulligan, Matt Corville, Ginny Di, The Dungeon Dudes and many more have influenced me. If you enjoy tables where with a focus on collaborative storytelling, rich and vibrant worlds, colorful and memorable NPCs, crunchy and challenging combat, with the odd puzzle thrown in, then please contact me about joining one of my established games. I am also open to running games for your own private games. Away from TTRPGs, I am an aspiring voice actor, amateur improv comedy performer and a lover of video games, reading, music and travel. Sign up to a game today. I’d love to see you at my table!

What Cosmo The GM brings to the table
🎲 NEW PLAYER FRIENDLY! If this is your first ever game of Daggerheart, then don't fret! I love helping new players discover this wonderful game and hobby. 🎲 This campaign will have dark themes. If there any lines or triggers that you have, then please let me know so that I can adjust things accordingly. 🎲 We will use Foundry VTT to play the actual game, Foundry VTT itself for character creation and Discord for voice chat (video is optional). 🎲 I like lots of role play in my TTRPGS, both as a GM and a player. There will also of course be plenty chances for combat, exploration and a few puzzles here and there. 🎲 This campaign will have its challenges. The battles will be crunchy and challenging. Character death is a real possibility in this campaign. Have ideas for back up characters in mind. 🎲 I like to do voices and really get into character. For players, it's up to you how much you want to get into it. There's no pressure at all to be on the Critical Roll level! But if you want to, by all means bring it on! 🎲 Helpful discussions at the table are encouraged. However, overt-metagaming and telling other people how to play their characters and the DM how to run the game will not be tolerated. 🎲 There will be a ten minute break half-way through sessions for bathroom and snack breaks.
