Daggerheart ToZ: The Curse of Spores

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

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!

"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.
