What do YOU plan on doing with Daggerheart?

There are already a dozen digital tools made by fans and posted across the net, including on the Daggerheart reddit. I've seen Spencer Starke posting there, so I know Critical Role and Darrington Press are aware of it. I guess we'll see how much they want to go after their own fans.

There’s probably a question here of profit, if you’re selling the tool vs providing it free. Also most of the tools I see are linking over to Demiplane for character sheet info, does that require a purchase to have or is the charbuilder there free?

This is the community policy. it does not mean that it is only going to appear on one VTT. It just means that Darrington is going to make official partnerships, rather than letting anyone do it.
I'd be very surprised if roll20, Foundry and the like haven't already been in communication with Darrington for getting it rolled out to their VTT's.
 

I have a setting where the world orbits a sun that orbits the World Tree, and there is a big festival when the worlds align to make Yggdrasil fill the sky from the perspective of the northern hemisphere, and so people from across the world and beyond pilgrimage, some for over a year, to one of the great cities or mountains with a great view of the Grand Alignment.

I’m thinking I will run a campaign on the Pilgrim’s Road inspired by the Canterbury Tales.

I'd hope so. I would love to run it but the only way I can do so regularly is via VTT. I'm enjoying it enough that I'm trying to get a group to play in person but with all of us being parents ... it's tough.
 



I posted this in another thread but the idea is starting to take over my brain: Daggerheart of Dresden-like urban fantasy. In that genre of urban fantasy, all the action takes place in magical spaces with magical powers. Guns, cars and phones are incidental narrative elements. The important stuff, from NPCs to combat to dramatic tension, are almost all "fantasy."
The only thing I am not sure about are the ancestries. How to handle the more inhuman character options?

I would probably make them Grimm-style Wesen. A small percentage of the population (like 1-2%) are fantasy races, but they can all maintain a glamour to look and feel outwardly "human". The rare humans who can see their "true form" (which would be PC humans) might often be mistrusted or feared.

Grimm + Dresden would make a pretty solid urban fantasy frame, I feel.

That is a good idea.

For it to be a true Dresden-like one would need vampire and werewolf ancestries, of course. I wonder if any of the existing ones could be easily reskinned as such.
