Roots and Daggers

Updates & news

For anyone who wants to try us out and is hearing our audio quality. Know that we are going back and improving it. We just re uploaded episode 4 with better audio quality and working our way backwards so you don’t start with episode 1, sounds good, then episode 2 sounds terrible. We will eventually re-release 1-3 and give you the audio quality and the sound effect you deserve!!! Also by episode 7 imo is where our group really find there stride and their chemistry. But highly recommend listening to earlier episodes. There are JUICY small details that are small ripples…for now!!!
Hey heroes, so we just released episode 7 and 8. This has started our new little adversary arc of the thought stealer, one of the 4 legendary masks. Amongst the players and listeners, it’s been a BIG HIT. It’s thanks to many factors. For 1, the players roleplaying has improved tremendously, the way they interact with the environment and their gameplay mechanics have straight up IMPROVED. The Dm has a really good direction on how to explain the back stories of each PC narratively, then just doing a “flash back”. We just concluded this arc in our episode 10. We’re all very happy and proud of our work and we hope you are enjoying it as well!

system. We’re going back to the roots of TTRPG, where heroes rise, dice decide our fate and chaos is only 1 roll away. Our story takes place in the world of Soltherra. A world functioning with heroes who wield “the light”. Our 5 heroes have just graduated from the Hero program, but have ranked last….200/200th place. Will they rank up high enough go compete in the grand ascendance, a tournament of the generations best heroes? And will they learn what it means to be a hero? Find out in our podcast Roots and Daggers. We’re all first timers. I’m a first time DM and all of my players are first time players. We’ve done our best to bring you the most intriguing, action packed, comedy, drama, mystery adventure. We do make a lot of jokes, but there are times we reach sensitive topics. Please rate us and tell a friend, you’ll be our hero! See you at the ascendance!

Chronicles of Darkness
Tabletop Roleplaying Games

Chronicles of Darkness

English
Horror
Rules-medium
Chronicles of Darkness is an urban horror tabletop roleplaying game and shared rules framework, published by Onyx Path Publishing under the copyright of Paradox Interactive, that powers a family of supernatural games including Vampire: The Requiem, Werewolf: The Forsaken, Mage: The Awakening and Hunter: The Vigil. It began in 2004 as a reboot of White Wolf's World of Darkness, launched with the rulebook The World of Darkness and new Storytelling System rules, and fans called it the "New World of Darkness" until 2015, when Paradox Interactive renamed it Chronicles of Darkness to avoid confusion with the original series. The current core rulebook is the revised edition on the Revised Storytelling System, which folds in the rules updates and some of the setting material from The God-Machine Chronicle. Critics generally saw the updated rules as a big improvement, describing them as fluid and open-ended. The system is a reboot of the original World of Darkness, and it is a separate line from the games Renegade Game Studios now publishes, such as Werewolf: The Apocalypse 5th Edition. Description Players take on ordinary people drawn into the supernatural, or the supernatural creatures themselves, in a modern urban setting with no metaplot. The Storyteller, the game's name for its Game Master (GM), runs a chronicle, and the setting details are optional for a campaign. Vampire clans and werewolf tribes were cut down to five each, so the lore is lighter than in the original series. There are eleven game lines in all, including Promethean: The Created, Changeling: The Lost, Geist: The Sin-Eaters, Mummy: The Curse, Demon: The Descent, Beast: The Primordial and Deviant: The Renegades. The game asks a table to take the grounded tone seriously. Opinions on the setting are divided, since some prefer the original series' grander, more fantastical scale and others the reboot's smaller one. It suits groups who like personal horror and mystery and are happy to build a chronicle from the characters' goals.
