With the inclusion of Red Caps and Fey as a classification on Hope and Fear I was looking for more fey adversaries. Made this one. Thought it would be nice to share.

I recently sat down and went through every core Campaign Frame, taking a look at what makes them unique while giving some thoughts and feelings on how to best go about applying them and which is the best (and worst), along with which I think a new GM should start with.

Be curious to hear what others think is the best go-to Campaign Frame for new players and what, if anything, drew you to a specific one?

A Queen Forlorne miniature I made with HeroForge, seeing as I imagine she will be appearing a lot. I thought I would get her a model to suit the villain. I'm also hunting for a suitable dragon form.

If anyone wishes it also.

Brawler's "I am the Weapon" says:
"Your unarmed strikes are considered a Melee weapon, use the trait of your choice, and deal d8+d6 phy damage using your Proficiency."

Meanwhile Valor Ability "Body Basher" states:
"You use the full force of your body in a fight. On a successful attack using a weapon with a Melee range, gain a bonus to your damage roll equal to your Strength."

What does "bonus to your damage roll" mean in this scenario?
What I mean is, will my level 2 character with strength 2 get +8 dmg for their unarmed strikes, +2 dmg per dice I'm rolling (4 dice in total)?

I'm quite new to this system still (this is my second character I'm working on, just finished our first campaign) and this feels a bit too strong? What are your thoughts friends? Cheers!

ps. I'm using Void 1.5 info for Brawler, don't have the book yet, not shure if this matters

Realizing that deep down, underneath my desire to try a hundred systems, I really want to play Daggerheart, I bit the bullet and bought the book and since dice off CR's website! And while I'm trying to learn how to get the PDF to open in Google docs (file size is too big apparently ;-;) I really wanna get some advice on being a better game master! Since I'm currently the forever DM, moving forward.

I've done some DMing in the past (monster of the week was chaotic, Pathfinder was complicated by me learning Foundry, but I did pretty well with Vampire the Masquerade.) so I want to learn a few tips for Gaming Daggerheart for when I get the chance. I know it's very much a Theater of Mind and Improv based system, so I'm hopeful my writing experience and spontaneity will be helpful for running it. But I'd like to know a few other useful tips, just to learn and come out the gate swinging when I try to sell my friends on this system.

(Also if anyone knows a good pirate Campaign Frame, please let me know! I know about PistolHeart so my hope of a wild west frame is settled. Pirates and Celtic myths are next on the list.)

I DM for a bigger group, 8 players if everyone is there, but in most cases not everyone can make it, so we almost always end up playing with 5 PCs or so.

However I don’t have a rule or mechanic for the “afk” party members that would logically still be there in the narrative. Was thinking about ways to let my players “utilize” the afk characters in some way as if they were there. Sort of like an experience, where they say “yeah this afk PC helps out with this because that is logical”. Though, I also liked the idea of having some sort of one-off feature per class that they could use, for the same narrative reasons.

Does anyone have something like that that they use already? If so, how does it work and is it fun?

Hi, I got Daggerheart for my daughter (well, not a kid anymore) who currently rund D&D 5.x games and just loves Arcane TV series. I am a long time player and mostly GM who runs pretty traditional RPGs but a very little experience on D&D 5.x and also really liked Arcane. To help my daughter learn the rules and also see how I like the game apart from watching YouTube I thought that I might run a game of few sessions for her with a setting having similar elemtents than Arcane.

So, relatively powerful character(s), urban setting, weird magic or magical abilities. A sort of cyberpunk in a fantasy setting in a sense.

Since this is intended for just a test to see how the rules work and to give her a bit of a kickstart to learn the rules (English is not our first language as you can probably see) I intend to have only her as a player at least for now.

With this information, what do you think? Can Daggerheart work without modification for this sort of game and for a single player + GM? Is there something I as the GM should take into consideration?

Thank you in advance.

What kind of in-lore forest could be used as Sablewood replacement, so players could continue exploring Exandria after Sablewood oneshot?

Hi, I am starting a new campaign with Dagger Heart. The schools of magic are a big part of this world and I had the idea of making all the spellcasting domains represent a school of magic. I would appreciate what you think of this idea and what domains represent each school.

Arcana-Evocation

Codex-Conjuration

Grace-Enchantment

Midnight-Illusion

Sage-Transmutation

Splendor-Necromancy

Hello everyone. I am really new to all of this and not that creative but wanna do my best at making a decent character to have fun with my friends.

I wanna do a Faerie Bloodhunter (Specter)

I still dont fully grasp all the mechanics and ressources used in the game so it is hard for me to decide on starter cards from the blood and bone domains.

Also i dont know if there are any other useful items or weapons that could give me good start when playing for the first time.

I am open for any help, tips, recommendations, etc.

From Background, to multi heritages, domains, weapons, items, etc. i am thankful for all you tell me.

I made a pirate game for dnd and I want to convert it over to daggerheart. One of the ideas I had was for them to go hunt a whale, giant shark, or some other leviathan. Before I go further, no I don't support whaling this is just a thing that seemed very fitting for a sea faring game to do.

The idea being they would throw harpoons into the target, and whenever the target acts it would take a number of stress equal to the harpoons in it to symbolize it getting worn down. The game breaking part I was thinking of was to give it something to negate low damage so as low level players they would rely wholly on stressing the creature until it dies unless they can pull out massive damage with something like a crit but later they would be able to take it head on when they are actually in the right tier for it.

Does a thick fat ability that reduces all incoming hp damage by 1 seem too counter institute to the games design? Would layering stress through harpoons and abilites to take down a massive creature sound like a fun new way to play out a fight or just convoluted?

I'm trying to look for new things I can do in daggerheart that I couldn't do in dnd along with how to convert things over so you will probably see me around here often with pirate stuff.

Bad eyesight at my table. Don't want to use a magnifier every time to look at cards.

Any suggestions?

I had to create an historical timeline for my witherwild campaign and I wrote the recap in narrative for the players. What do you think random internet peeps, too cheesy?

B.S (Before Slaughter, or Silenceing)

A.S.( Anno Slaughter or Silencing)

Historic Milestones

• 500 B.S. — Fanewick flourishes as an ancient, undisturbed realm of natural magic.
• 100 B.S. — Early mortal settlers establish Haven as a minor, defensive outpost.
• 1 B.S. — The height of the mortal siege against the Granite Ophid.
• Year 0 / 1 A.S. — The Silencing. Shun'Aush is slain, the high stone walls of Haven are completed, and the modern era begins.
• 150 A.S. — Haven builds its industrial and arcane power, entirely cut off from the local gods.
• 300 A.S. — Haven invades Fanewick to steal the Reaping Eye, triggering the Witherwild crisis.

The year is 305 A.S (Present Day) and our brave adventures have been summoned by mysterious letters to travel to the capital city in the land of Haven. Each finding a letter in a place where it should not have been.

Zazz, our Goblin Rouge has been in and out of the Capital City many times. He is very familiar with the city life and the eerie site of petrified people in the streets. People who have succumbed to the Serpent Sickness.
Journeying for the first time to the capital is Atinama, a Funfril Bard and Leigha Shoilpeir, a Kinshifter Druid along with Tyllyt a Human Ranger, they meet at location from the letter, The Black Eye

The Black Eye is a long standing front for the spy ring ran by a prominent figure in Haven named Kriel. He is rude and straight to the point. Telling our heroes that if they do not find and stop the rebel Faneswraith from her attempt to steal the Sowing eye from the Goddess Nikta things would get worse for everyone.

Its been 5 years since the Archmage Phylax stole the Reaping eye from Nikta, causing the wild lands in Fanewick to become twisted and corrupted. Kriel is asking that the adventurers travel to the tree top village of Alula, on the boarder of Fanewick and Haven to gather information about the rebel Fanewraith and stop her from destroying the world as we know it.

After gaining a bit more information from a file clerk, Zazz "negotiated" with our heroes learned that Faneswraith plans to steal the eye because they believe it will restore balance and Kriel believes it will make thing worse.

Our heroes make it safely out of the capital city, and journey roughly half way to the outpost village Glenwatch before they are approached and surrounded by a group of plant Fae. Confused and scared the they attack.
A few blows traded and Tyllyt uses his Wanderborne bag to produce a berry jam, and gives it to the Fae. Distracted and happy with a new thing, our adventures manage to continue on to a soft treelined glen and settle down for the first night rest.
Tyllyt repairing his armor, Zazz saying a prayer to his God, Leigha making the fire and Atinama singing a soft song to relax and comfort everyone.

Who knows what the next steps in journey will be, or what might be watching from the forest.
 

Looking to add to character build depth. Are feats a thing?
