Hey Daggerhearters!

I'm converting my D&D book, Amazing Encounters & Places, to Daggerheart. Here's one of the eight locations — a fully-fledged 36-page PDF, free.

Two things I'm genuinely unsure about and would love your read on:

• Does the multi-tier adversary scaling feel right if you jump straight to the Tier 3 block, skipping Tier 1–2?
• Are the Fear features looking like?

A couple of new things this book introduces:

• Multi-tier adversary blocks: this content is built to scale across all four tiers, not locked to one.
• Locations: a smaller region sized to slot into your Campaign Frame. If your group is moving through one of the unnamed forests from Five Banners Burning, drop in the Crownjade Wood content instead of building it from scratch.

The final book will be close to 300 pages: 8 locations, 56 environments, and well over 100 multi-tier adversaries. In addition, it brings 64 maps and bautiful artork. The D&D original is gorgeous in person as you can see in the image.

Also, I have a few author copies of the physical D&D original left in US/CA fulfillment. Comment with the nastiest environment you've ever run and I'll draw one winner on Aug 22. International entrants: I'll send you the full PDF of the D&D original instead.

I would love if you could follow the Kickstarter!

I hope you like it folks!

Hello fellow Daggerhearters!

Following up on the new Location concept and Multi-Tier Adversary concept, here's a Multi-Tier Scene.

I hope you like it. The idea is the each Scene presents at least one Environment along with a map for visual reference. The map can also be useful for those players who migrated from D&D, like my friends and me.

This Scene is the first of seven Scenes which together run as a lengthy Adventure in the Sky Isles.

The Way Up is the first step to reach Neverdark, the home of the Phoenix Monks. The second step is the Skywalk (Scene #2). You can easily fit this in an adventure involving mountains as a challenge to reach a nice treasure, or to save a loved one. Maybe it's the path to the villain's HQ!

This will be part of our Kickstarter Amazing Adversaries & Environments.
Feel free to follow it to stay tuned!

EDIT: click here to see an updated version based on current feedback.

Following up on last week's post about Locations, a new design concept for DH, I want to have scalable content as in the original book and hence we're considering multi-tier adversaries.

Let me describe the alternative. Assume I don't go for multi-tier. The Sky Isles is home to the Phoenix Monks. Initially I had 1 adversary per Tier, meaning that if you decide to play The Sky Isles at Tier 1, you would only have one option as adversary. You wouldn't be able to use the Master Phoenix Monk (left adversary above) as it's a T4 adversary.

By using multi-tier enemies, you can mix them if needed. You can have a few apprentices, a disciples, a firepalm, etc.

What do you think of this concept?

I love the nice feedback people have already been providing over Discord! The DH crowd rocks!

One of the things I've been building for my upcoming Kickstarter is what I'm calling Locations — fully detailed places like a mountain range, a haunted coastline, or a swamp that a GM can drop directly into their Frames or ongoing campaign.

A Location isn't just a map. It comes with lore, history, and flavour that makes the place feel like it has existed long before the party arrived. It has an overarching plot that gives the GM something to pull on across multiple sessions, and enough inspiration to make the place their own rather than just running someone else's story.

Let's say you're running Five Banners Burning and the party is at the southern part of Armada, near that forest. With a Location, you can drop it there and run a few sessions of fun times without having to worry about what to prepare.

The Kickstarter will launch with 8 Locations across four terrains — 2 coasts, 2 forests, 2 mountains, and 2 swamps. Each Location contains 7 Scenes, and every Scene comes with a full Daggerheart environment and battlemap.

We're also including over 100 new adversaries, all built for Daggerheart and fully scalable across all 4 tiers — so whatever level your party is at, the Location works.

One of these Locations is presented in the image: The Sky Isles, a chain of floating earth motes hidden above the clouds, home to a monastery of fire-disciplined monks with a desperate secret and a threat they don't yet understand. I'll be sharing more about the Sky Isles moving forward.

More details coming soon. I'd love to get your feedback on this!
