About the adventure
📜🪶 Play-by-post - Immediate access to play when you want! Expect frequent GM posts, keeping the adventure moving. 👶🖍️ Beginners Welcome - Learn to play, or just get out of your shell, in a lower pressure environment. No experience needed! 💟🗡️ Daggerheart - Explore the system by playing through one of the ‘Campaign Frames’ laid out in the NEW Hope and Fear Expansion! “Andaluria is a land of sweeping vineyards where beauty and dread intertwine. By day, the streets and valleys are alive with festivals, music, and the scent of wine—but when the sun sets, monsters come out to feast. For generations, the old superstitions and folk rites kept the beasts at bay, but of late the nights have grown unnaturally long, and the citizens of Andaluria live in fear of increasingly terrifying monsters. In a Dark Heart of Andaluria campaign, you’ll play monster hunters who must investigate horrific crimes, navigate political strife, and slay supernatural creatures to protect the people from eternal darkness.” ✨ This is a play-by-post adventure. The pace of play will be discussed at the table, but we'll aim for at least 1 in-character post every 24 hours from players to keep everybody engaged.

About me
Hello! My name's Joe, and I've been escaping to fantastic realities for as long as I can remember. Raised on Saturday morning cartoons & old video games, I do my best to bring a bit of fun energy wherever I go. As a lifetime player of ttrpgs, I've dipped my toes into everything from Mouse Guard to Mörk Borg. Like many, the bulk of my experience has been with Dungeons & Dragons. As a GM, I've been testing my mettle in home games for several years.

Creating your character
✨ We will work together as a group to create characters that work together, as well as in the setting itself. Feel free to have a loose concept in mind! ✨ Most player options are available, but some have unique aspects in a Dark Heart of Andaluria campaign.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
✨ Players will primarily need a Discord account. ✨ A Demiplane account may be helpful for sharing resources, but is not essential.
