Daggerheart General Thread [+]

[overgeeked]

I'll just leave this here.

I was all excited thinking it would be about playing Daggerheart in Eberron. It's not. It's a generic chat with Keith Baker and both Eberron and Daggerheart are mentioned. Not sure if it technically counts as clickbait, but sure feel like clickbait.

Gosh, DH works really well for Modern Urban Fantasy. We had to figure out a way to hide redcap corpses in a University Quad before their glamour wore off; track down a drug dealer off his clothes that had been used to disguise a summoned specter (a spirit of delinquency ofc), got stuck in rush hour and then did some fancy driving to throw off a tail before setting up an ambush in a parking garage and taking down a car of redcap thugs.

Now they have a unicorn with a severed horn, mad and pained (the size of a Great Dane, with hoofs of silver and gemmed teeth to rend and maim) temporarily soothed in the backseat of their ride.

They did announce back in Gen Con that the authors of Eberron are making an entire campaign setting for Daggerheart.

That doesn't mean it will be anything like Ebberon. It could end up being based on the Smurfs... But probably not. It will probably have similar 'tones' in the same way that one novel from an author resembles another.

And I think they know people want something "like" Eberron.

One of the CR playtests of Daggerheart was about them playing a pack of kids in the 80s... Very on the nose rip of Stranger Things.

But it was also the final thing that sold me on getting Daggerheart. It's one of the few times I've enjoyed the CR cast. Their playstyle isn't usually my thing.

This one they did for charity with a bunch of 90s sitcom kids playing 90s sitcom kids was fun.
Thank Goodness It's Thursday! ->

There is a bit of that in this video. Baker talks about how potentially multiple campaign frames would be required for playing Eberron with Daggerheart depending on the focus you want for your campaign. But there are obvious reasons why they can't just release an Eberron Campaign Frame for Daggerheart.

Who’s “they” here? Darrington? Sure, that would get side eye. But free fan content is obviously okay. Todd, of course he could. Keith, of course he could. Keith’s blog and podcast have done conversions for other systems before.

Okay.

In part because even if the serial numbers were filed off Eberron is way too big of a Thing to be a singular frame.

It would be pretty cool to collect together like 4-5 different Frames within the larger world though. Sharn has so many options that could be an entire campaign almost within the city; you've got Dragonmarked intrigue; you've got the Mournlands (that 5e AL campaign would actually be a solid premise); I've always wanted to do something around Karrn and the Emerald Claw...

The Five Banners Burning campaign frame already lists Eberron as a touchstone. The fact that there are five banners but also five nations in Khorvaire, including Cyre, is likely not a coincidence either. So there's one.
