My idea for a tall skeleton colossus fight in daggerheart is to use the whiteboard as a vertical map. Each player can use one magnet for their character. I think switching from a classical fight on a horizontal map to this will be very cool :)
Of course, a fire could accidentally spread on the battlefield and force the players to climb the colossus ;)
What do you guys think?
I've been building a Weird West cosmic horror campaign built on Daggerheart, where the party plays ordinary people (a gunslinger, a doctor, a preacher, a shaman) rather than heroes. Against outlaws a revolver is enough but not against what sleeps under the desert :)
I wanted the art to match that tone, so I commissioned traditional illustrations from Alessandro Paderi, an Italian illustrator who works in ink and pencil. Sharing a few pieces here, because I think his take on "frontier dread" turned out beautifully.
A question for other GMs running horror in Daggerheart: how do you handle the visual side at the table? Do you show creature art the moment the party meets something, or do you hold it back and let descriptions do the work until the horror is fully revealed? I keep going back and forth on this.
All artwork by Alessandro Paderi, commissioned by me and shared with his permission. No AI was used in the creation of this artwork. The campaign is an independent production compatible with Daggerheart, created under the Darrington Press Community Gaming License. Not affiliated with Darrington Press or Critical Role.

These are the first two PCs from the Witherwild campaign Im running with my friends. A blind elf ranger with a pet deer and a reskin halovian havenite.
Today is Monster Monday, our weekly community showcase for all the cool Adversaries you've created for your Daggerheart game.
What to Share. Include the Name, Tier, Type, Description and Features of your homebrewed Adversary. Write a little about why you made it and if your players have confronted it, how that encounter went.
Add some visuals. Include any handmade crafts, painted minis, character portraits or any physical game aids you've made to represent for your players! (Original art only and no AI creations allowed.
Don't think you can draw, paint or build a mini or picture of your monster? Do it anyway! Everything from popsicle stick minis to finely crafted 3d models and game aids are welcome.
How to Thrive. If you share your own Adversary, take a moment to leave a comment on someone else's. If you're looking for critical feedback or inspiration, it's a good idea to include that at the beginning of your post.
When faced with brutal conditions, warriors must band together in order to survive. Play as a Call of the Raider Warrior if you want to charge forth headlong into battle while relying on your comrades to watch your flank.
Welcome one and all to the first in a line of Sunday Funday posts as I take my many ideas from mere concepts to shareable content. As a lover of non-magic classes, I thought Id show the Warrior some love with this more aggressive subclass design meant to explode out onto the battlefield before falling back on their allies to chip away at the enemies. Please share any and all feedback as I will take the effort to refine the concept next week.
Edit: I am aware this may look like art I meticulously searched online to steal, but it is in fact my own art, per rule 5.

I'm a beginner artist and I'm making printable paper miniatures. Check out the Jagged Knife bandits, the Acid Burrower, and the Glass Snake on the attached pictures. I've made miniatures compatible with 40% of the adversaries in the core book of Daggerheart. You can download all minis for free on the website: https://gmgprintableminis.com/
I started a patreon, you can follow it for free to receive updates: https://www.patreon.com/cw/GMGPrintableMinis I'll make a post at most once a week.
Art by me.
People asked me to repost him if I ever ended up painting it. Not the best at painting, but learned a lot about trying to capture different materials while working on it.
This is Burl the Clank Sorcerer(last post I called him a wizard, but that was a brain fart), one of the player characters from my campaign. His sentience awakened in an arcane explosion that killed many members of the house that owned him. Since than he has lived as a hermit in the wastes as the living materials the make up his frame have been slowly growing and overtaking his once sleek design.
The Clanks of Xol are not born but built, crafted from splintered Titan bone, bio-modified wood, and living flora, their bodies a fusion of unnatural growth and alchemical engineering. They are rare in the city, not because the technology is lost, but because most Xolites consider the creation of artifice an unsettling aberration when living flesh is so readily available for modification.
The first Clanks were forged in the aftermath of the Titan Xol’s death, part of an alchemical arms race to create untiring soldiers and servitors. Some were grown for battle, others for labor or ceremonial purposes.
In a society obsessed with ancestry, bloodlines, and genetic inheritance, Clanks exist outside the social order. They have no lineage, no family, and are often viewed as tools rather than people, curiosities from a bygone age of war.
Each Clank is unique, their bodies grown, carved, and bonded using Titan bone marrow, heartwood, and living muscle-vines. Some display eerie plant-like growths or calcified plates, while others resemble living statues of bark and bone.
EDIT: OMG!!! thx a lot in all my 10 yrs drawing and posting online my drawings online this is the 1st time i ever got more than 100 likes I am really really happy im gald you all like it.

This is a character artwork I draw for my table! Huang Yun is an important NPC in our campaign, basically our journey is about to help him prove his right to the throne and protect him from any challenges that comes our way. The ferocious tiger behind him is Fu, his Ranger Companion.

I know there have been some attempts at converting a D&D 5e Beholder into Daggerheart, like this post from u/Dancovich.
Regardless of how effective the converstion is, do you like the concept of the monster?
Im the DM!
I think this party is a little strange, looks like a zoo or somehing.
The "fox guy" is a katari homebrew
