Drakkenheim Starfall | Daggerheart | PLAY TEST

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

Barovia is trapped behind magical mist and ruled by Strahd von Zarovich, a vampire who watches, bargains, threatens, and reacts to your choices. This is Curse of Strahd rebuilt for Daggerheart, with investigation, dangerous exploration, complicated allies, and a villain who is part of the story from the beginning. You’ll join a Level 5 party as their journey through Barovia continues. Step into a living world full of characters, mysteries, and opportunities waiting to be explored. About the Adventure and what to expect: 🩸 Non-linear gameplay: Choose your own path and tackle quests in any order. 🩸 Active villain: Strahd is always watching, manipulating, and shaping the story. 🩸 Difficult choices: Barovia is filled with flawed people, conflicting loyalties, and situations where doing the right thing isn't always obvious. 🩸 Survival in a cursed land: Barovia is bleak and isolated, where safety is scarce and even small victories matter. 🩸 Hit the ground running with a capable Level 5 character and meaningful abilities from your first session. 🩸 Make your mark on Barovia through relationships, discoveries, and choices that shape where the story goes. 🩸 Step straight into the action as Strahd and the dangers of Barovia respond to what you do. No homework required. Before your first game, I'll personally get you caught up on what your character needs to know, help connect them naturally to the party, and get you ready to play. You'll also have access to the campaign wiki and session notes whenever you want to explore more. Tuesdays at 7:30pm EDT What is included: 🗺️ Animated maps and visual aids bring Barovia to life 🎵 Curated musical playlist 📝 Explore campaign lore whenever you want 📔 Tool for storing notes 📚 Access to core & supplement digital books ✅ Campaign rules and expectations as well as custom content to help you make a character that fits the story you want to tell You can read the primer here to get a good direction on how to design your character. This is a paid game of $30 + SPG Service Fees per a player per a session. It can be found here on SPG. Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions.

The Setup The Drylands are frontier country. Prospectors and mages dig Essentia out of these hard hills, and everyone is trying to carve off a piece of it before somebody else does. You have been out on the flats for months. Whatever the job was, it is done and the pay is in your pocket. Now you are riding back into Miquera, the little town in the Caradondo mountain pass. One main street, a saloon, a general store, an old stone church. You can see the smoke long before you reach it. The ground is shaking. The church spire is leaning, the saloon is burning, and people you have known your whole life are running in the street with buckets that are not going to be enough. Old Jess out by the claim always said the veins were the bones of something sleeping. Nobody ever paid her much mind. They will now. And when the dust settles, the real question will not be what happened to Miquera. It will be what comes next. Expectations & Requirements Player Knowledge: You should have a general understanding of how the basic Daggerheart rules work. We'll build characters together on HeartofDaggers in a session zero, so no prep needed on your end. Commitment: This is a campaign, so please only sign up if you can make most Tuesdays for the next couple of months. Consistent attendance makes the story work. Tech Requirements: A working headset and a decent microphone are required for clean audio on Discord. Tone: A frontier western where the ground itself turns against the people living on it. Gameplay: Rescue, investigation, tough choices, and a story that grows with your characters.
