Description

PLEASE NOTE: This is a playtest game, I will be testing out a few different and new systems to myself in hopes of adapting them into my games in the future. This is also a playtest for the Daggerheart Drakkenheim ruleset as well so player feedback is welcomed and encouraged throughout. Wednesday 9pm GMT The 11th day of the 11th month, 1111. To some, it was a day of prophecy; to most, it was just another Tuesday in the jewel of Westemär. Then the sky split open. A star of pulsing violet fire screamed through the heavens and struck the heart of Drakkenheim, vaporizing the Royal Ward in a heartbeat. You aren't heroes, not yet. You are survivors, caught in the shadow of a dying city. As a strange, prismatic fog begins to roll through the streets and the very stones start to weep purple ichor, your only objective is simple: Get out before the Haze claims you. The air is thick with the scent of ozone and rotting flowers. Around you, the impossible is happening. People you knew are warping before your eyes, limbs lengthening, voices dissolving into wet gurgles, and sanity fraying under the glow of the "Octarine" light. This is a world of Eldritch Horror and High Stakes Survival, where every street corner offers a choice between a desperate rescue and a necessary betrayal. In this high-octane Daggerheart adventure set as a Prequel to Dungeons of Drakkenheim, you will navigate a cityscape undergoing a violent, magical metamorphosis, the day the eldritch meteor struck the city. You must balance your dwindling Hope against the encroaching Fear as you witness the birth of a nightmare that will haunt the continent for decades to come. Will you lead survivors to safety, abandoned those that are already lost, or will you become just another shadow etched into the ruins of the lost capital? The sky has fallen, the King is gone, and the Haze is hungry. Run.

Erdoros: The Cosmfall

Homebrew
House rules, a custom setting, or a system the Game Master wrote themselves.
Roleplay focused
Conversation, character and story take up most of the table time.
Hello everyone and welcome to the Cosmfall campaign! We are starting up a short-to-medium length campaign set in the very distant past of our main campaign world, Erdoros, during the events that would come be known in history as the "Cosmfall", when the very stars in the sky began raining down upon the world and the young races that walked its earth, these falling stars bringing with them an alien race that would change the nature of the world forever: Dragonkind. Campaign Introduction "In a time before recorded history, when the curmudgeonly Dwarves had only just begun to settle the Deep Places, and the Elves venturing from their Enchanted Hinterland home of Thala'drahel, and the younger races across the continents had only begun to settle from their nomadic ways, the very stars fell from the sky." Witness our world, Erdoros, before the advent of Magic. Druidism, shamanism and other forms of magic attuned to the natural world are permissible, but incredibly rare. Cling to ancient deities and beliefs fueled by faith and sacrifice, desperate to unlock eldritch powers you cannot comprehend to gain an upper hand in a world put to the flame. The world is young, and all races are at early stages in cultural & technological development and generally isolated from one another. - Wizard, Warlock and Seraph are not playable, but may you rise to become one of the first in history? - Sorcerer is only playable by Elf (known as Dreamweavers) or Dwarf (known as Runespeakers) ancestry. - Clank, Drakona, Infernis and Fungril are not playable. At Session Zero, choose your own path: band together with the other mortal races of this world against the arrival of the destructive and tyrannical Dragons, or betray your own kind to bask in the glory of their new world. The limitations presented here are not to "limit" your choices as a player, but to drive home and best represent the primal world you will be stepping into. Overview - Bi-weekly sessions on every other Wednesday from 20.00 to 00.00 GMT+1. - Our main D&D 5E campaign is currently on hiatus, and we have plans to play this and other shorter-form campaigns in the future to see if you as a new player vibe well with us across different settings & tones before getting locked back into the main campaign. - We are first-timers to Daggerheart, but long-term TTRPG players. We accept & welcome any experience level at our table however! The campaign will start at level 2 and will end at levels 7-8. - We are a group of 3 Players + 1 DM (Me) looking to add a further 2 to our Party. We play from across Europe and are mainly looking for people in the same timezone as us. - We use Foundry VTT hosted on a Forge cloud server, Discord for Voice & Video chat during session. For our games, webcams are mandatory as it is a preference for us to alleviate and improve the roleplay and immersion into the game itself. What We Offer: - A living, breathing world that evolves with (or without) the players' direct interaction. Just as the players have their own goals and ambitions, so too do the other inhabitants of this world. - Serious & realistic roleplay-focused narrative with moments of levity. Ranging from grimdark to lighter tones, all within a swords & sandals setting. The world of Cosmfall is a world before civilization and before diplomacy: many races bear old grudges, and some are as alien to each other as the Dragons themselves. - Consistently scheduled games, planned out with time, care and effort to deliver an entertaining and engaging experience, with heavy attention to detail to narrative elements. A free-form setting open to the collaborative input of all players with the ability to introduce your own ideas, story beats and elements if they mesh well with the overall narrative, with a Game / Dungeon Master who will work WITH you to make a character we both want to fit in the world. - A tailor-made game experience for each player, with intricate and unique encounters, fully fleshed-out boss fights, unique & powerful magic items, rewards and much more. Each person at the table has their own moment to shine, no matter how small! What We Are Looking For: - Laid-back and relaxed individuals over the age of 21 (our age range is from 24-34) who want to sit around and roll virtual dice together and weave a fantastical story that we will be talking about for years to come! - Accommodating, patient and understanding team players who look to raise each other up, cooperate and collaborate to enjoy the game together. Enthusiasm and curiosity are crucial! - Dedicated roleplayers who place emphasis, detail and care into the motivations, background and personality of their character: each player character should be an individual first, a party member close second. - Consistency and dedication to a weekly / bi-weekly schedule. We have a pretty solid track record of being able to run weekly, and during this campaign we are slowing down to bi-weekly for now. A missed session here and there is totally fine and understandable, but we all want to play together with a full party. We hope this has covered all the bases and given you a good idea of what we are all about, whilst it may seem high-octane, we are very much welcome to beginners, veterans and anything in-between, so don't be shy to put your hat in the ring if you think you'd have fun at our table, and you'd be a good addition to our party! To help us find the perfect candidates, we'd like to kindly ask you to fill out our quick application form answering a few of our burning questions to let us know what kind of game YOU'D want, and what kind of player YOU are, before we can move onto the next step. We very much look forward to hearing from you all and hope to see you in Erdoros with us very soon: https://forms.gle/i6mqghDaidmeqer48

Curse of the Sablewood

Newbie friendly
New players are welcome, and nobody expects you to know the rules beforehand.
LGBTQ+ friendly
The table is openly welcoming to LGBTQ+ players.
"Sent by the king, you brave the Sablewood, bringing unmarked cargo to the Whitfire Arcanist in the town of Hush for unknown purpose." This is an official starting adventure for the Daggerheart System, providing info on how to play and premade characters. The setting is one both filled with wonder and dread as the Sablewood is filled with magic both blessed and cursed from the time before the Gods fell. Mixing both roleplay and combat this game acts as a good starter for those new to RPG's in general not just those new to this system.
