ABOUT THE ADVENTURE
As the snow melts and the ground defrosts. A new year has begun and with it comes new adventures. Will you do something new or fall back into routine?

ABOUT THE SYSTEM
Daggerheart is a narrative-focused, high-fantasy tabletop roleplaying game (TTRPG) by Critical Role's publishing arm, Darrington Press, that emphasizes collaborative storytelling through its unique "Hope and Fear" dice system, character-driven choices, and flexible rules, blending narrative depth with tactical crunch. It uses a set of two different colored 12-sided dice (D12s) for actions, where the higher roll determines if you succeed with hope (benefit) or fear (consequence), offering a range of outcomes beyond simple pass/fail. The game features rich character creation with backgrounds, ancestries, classes, and domains, alongside mechanics like stress and distinct character death options, aiming for accessibility and deep player engagement.

SAFETY TOOLS USED
Sometimes games have content or situations where a player or GM may feel stressed out, unsafe, or otherwise not having fun. Safety tools are a way for players and GMs to communicate and check-in before, during, and after a game in order to make sure everyone is still having fun, and to provide the right support when needed.
