Daggerheart: Dark Bargains

Looking for players for a prospective long-running Daggerheart campaign. I tend to build my storyline around the characters in the group rather than have a set concept in mind, but the basic premise is that the players will take charge of a small farming village miles from anywhere and, over the course of the campaign, collaboratively shape it into a full-fledged city. High player agency and plenty of room for narrative. At present I'm looking for venues in Bristol or Bath; the Hoard is a strong option, as is Bristol Independent Gaming, but I'm also open to other venues.

"Five years ago, a thousand ships answered Agamemnon's call and departed Greece to bring about Ilium's ruin. The greatest heroes, the mightiest weapons, and the most mythical stories are somewhere else.  You are among who remains.  I am Homer, and I will sing of you, amongst Other Names." Set in a fabled Age of Rhapsody — paying homage to the Bronze Age, Greek tragedy and comedy, and classical myth — Echoes of Fate is a homebrew Campaign Frame for Daggerheart exploring lies and prophecies, the making of myths, and what it costs to break destiny. You are not the hero the epic was written for. No prophecy names you. No Muse has claimed your story...yet. So what do you make of a life the songs haven't told yet? If you are a fan of myth retellings such as EPIC: the Musical, A Thousand Ships, The Song of Achilles, come sit by the fire. Some notes on the setting: •  The gods are present but distracted — drawing their eye may bring you greatness, or ruin. Or maybe you'll be drawn to the Mysteries instead? •  No prophecy protects you: your choices ripple outward, and could alter canon myths and even the course of the war itself. •  All stories are welcome, this table is LGBTQ+ friendly. •  New to tabletop, Daggerheart, or Greek myth? This table is beginner-friendly. And no Classics degree required, just curiosity. Sessions will be paid through StartPlaying.com, at 25$ per session. About me: - I've been a Dungeon Master for almost 8 years and I have plenty of experience in guiding new players. I prefer Theater of the Mind with minimal VTT support. - Your story will matter and I love a long, narrative background I can weave into the main story. - I do character voices!  - I also do character artworks :D Safety tools: Session 0, Lines and Veils, Consent checklist and X cards. I prefer to be honest in advance: Echoes of Fate draws from real life in addition to myth. Slavery was present in Ancient Greece, as was mysogyny, war and violence. You will be able to challenge these in-game through your character, or ask me to avoid mentioning them and I will do my best to do so.

Hi there.  I’m in my late twenties, based in the UK and am setting up a Daggerheart campaign to take place on Saturday evenings (UK time).  Currently, we are quite locked in on doing a session on two Saturdays in a row from 6-10PM (UTC+1/UTC+0), then doing a two week break, then two more weeks of Saturday sessions and so on (i.e. session,session,skip week, skip week, session, session, skip week, skip week, etc.). A big part of this is me wanting to expand my social circle and to make some good friendships that aren’t just limited to time spent in TTRPGs. Currently we have 3/4 players confirmed and I am looking for a final member of the party to round us out (5 players total). This will be my first time with Daggerheart, as it will be for all players currently confirmed.  The setting is a big mix of genres, but primarily Wild West with a lot of spooky and fantastical weirdness. I’d describe it as Weird West/ Gothic/ Horror/ Jazz Age/ Fantasy in a homebrew world. Characters may do things like uncover eldritch cults in the bayou, go on the trail of monsters out in the forests, and duel with undead gunslingers and the like. A setting document has been created to provide a baseline of the world, and players are more than welcome to contribute to the worldbuilding. There are currently no strict overarching plans such as a BBEG or end-goal (though I have some ideas), and I see the campaign being more about having fairly separate arcs and chapters that will have some links to each other, but that could all change based on player input. I want the players to tell me what sort of goals they want their characters to accomplish in the world. Although the setting doesn’t take itself too seriously, I want characters to be capable of being serious and fitting into the world. Currently, I’d like the campaign to go for a few months, maybe about a year (which should take players from levels 1 to 10). What I’m looking for: Enthusiastic and collaborative players, both with the party but also myself, letting me know what next big thing they want to do so I can properly put things in place to make it the best I can. This game relies heavily on a player-gm agreement for what pushes the narrative forwards and provides people with the most enjoyment  Players interested in RP and creating a great story together where everyone has their moments to shine. I’m not looking for players who want to powergame or murderhobo, especially as the campaign would be broadly good-aligned Players interested in the worldbuilding side of the hobby. I’m currently focusing on fleshing out the setting more than a grand overarching story, but I’d really like players to contribute to the setting Reliable scheduling. I’m happy to occasionally run games with a couple of players missing, but mostly I’d like the whole party To clarify, there is no cost associated with this game, and we would be looking to begin in the next couple of weeks. What you’ll need: Discord Mic and speakers for communication Roll 20 A Demiplane account (needed for Daggerheart) Please DM me if interested with a bit about yourself, your playstyle, character ideas and such, and we can discuss!
