Daggerheart / Death House / Otsuka RPG Day

PLEASE READ FIRST!

After you join the event, please send me a direct message through Meetup so I can invite you to the Discord server. Anyone who joins the event but doesn’t message me may be removed. Please also make sure your Meetup settings allow direct messages.

“It doesn’t stay in one place for very long. The house appears without warning and finds a way to lure its victims inside. No one who enters has ever returned. It has been burned to the ground, pulled apart, blessed by holy priests, but nothing has worked. It always comes back.

Your party has been searching for the Death House for quite some time. Think about why your character seeks this cursed place. Did they lose somebody to it? Are they seeking a powerful item rumored to be held within? Do they perhaps know the history of the house and can’t ignore it? Whatever your reasons, you’ve managed to find the house together. You have this one chance to put an end to it. You might not get another.”

This game session will use the Daggerheart system, which promotes narrative collaboration between the players and the GM. This means you have the freedom to create things in the adventure. This story takes inspiration from the ‘Death House’ chapter in Curse of Strahd for D&D, but will be subject to change as per the creative freedom that Daggerheart provides.

We will use Discord and Demiplane to plan the session and create characters.

Character Creation

We’ll be using Demiplane for character creation and management. If you’re new to it or need help, I’ll help you through the process, so everything runs smoothly.

Level: All characters start at Level 2.

Class: All allowed, including Void classes. No transformation abilities.

Heritage: Pick an ancestry and community to establish your appearance and upbringing. Mixed and void ancestries and communities are allowed.

Traits: Distribute -1, 0, 0, +1, +1, +2 across your traits. These traits are agility, strength, finesse, instinct, presence and knowledge.

Hope: Begin play with 2 Hope.

Equipment: Select weapons and armor, and record thresholds, inventory, and armor score as directed on your character guide. For level 2 characters please feel free to choose Tier 2 improved equipment.

Background: Choose or create descriptions and answer background questions to flesh out your character’s history, appearance, and personality. We can do this during the session as well.

Experiences: Based on your backstory, create experiences that make sense for you to have. These can be used later to give a bonus to your roll by spending hope.

Domains: Choose your domain cards that are related to the class you chose. These give you some extra abilities for your PC.

Connections: Use your Connection questions to tie your character to the party and to the world. We will create connections at the start of the game session.

I look forward to playing with you all!
