What do YOU plan on doing with Daggerheart?

As a side note: the foes in the QS are not in the corebook...

Spoiler: Critters not in core

Ancient Skeleton - close to Skeleton Warrior... different damage, fewer HP. Not in Sablewood Guide, either.
Forest Wraith - not even the same kind of being as the "stonewraith" in the book.
Strixwolf – comparable to, but very distinctly different from, the Dire Wolf. Is in the Sablewood Subsetting guide.
Thistlefolk Ambusher - no readily apparent parallel. Thistlefolk mention in the Sablewood subsetting guide, but no stat blocks there.

Also - the sablewood guide provides an environment for the village of Hush.

I'll also note: the QS adversary blocks are not up to the standard set in the corebook. They are missing the description and motivation/tactics lines. The Sablewood subsetting guide has full statblocks for what it gives statblocks for...

Which leads me on to...
I'm having to write a followup adventure to the QS because my players loved it. It got my quietest player more active...

So, I'm intrigued enough by Daggerheart that I'm considering running it. I'm thinking a KISS scenario/short campaign where the party is doing Robin Hood. They've been named outlaws, there's a corrupt Baron oppressing the local villages and they're the Merry People that are a thorn in the Baron's side. If it goes a little grittier, can throw some Andor into the mix.

You may want to note the option for a 4th HP on sufficiently high damage hits... See the SRD, p 39, LC callout box or Core Rules p91, RC callout box.

So I ran a session. In person. I feel like there was an alignment of the spheres to make this possible. There's a new bar/restaurant near where I live that's based on gamers and gaming. One of the things they have are private rooms to rent to play board games or RPGs. So I thought I'd get a group together, rent a room, and have some beverages.

I had the quickstart to play, and had printed out all the pre-gens, including the standees. We had a blast. It was a four person group and three of the four players are trying to scrounge up the game.

Next stop is a session zero to pick the campaign and start a game. Likely, it will be every other week, but that will still be fantastic. I can't say enough good things about the game because it actually got my group excited.

My plan? Taking it out of the wrapping eventually!

We had our Daggerheart Session 0 tonight, which we did via Discord and Demiplane even though we are playing in person this coming weekend.

I chose Age of Umbra simply because I have been watching the campaign so I feel like I have a decent handle on its particular flavor of DH.

One PC is a human noble second son given over to a religious order that keeps the fire alive (a Seraph). They are sort of the lynchpin character that has, by way of doing patrols, discovered and brought in the other PCs: a wandering dwarf warrior, a simiah rogue and a hybrid fungril and galapaga. We came up with weird explanations for everything:
since the loss of the gods, the dwarves have become listless wanderers waiting to die.
The funeral do not exist independently and must either take over or engage in symbiosis with another species, and (as is the case with the PC) may simply animate a corpse as their vessel
And the simiah inexplicably became sapient when the gods left, wandering and searching for a place in this dying world.

I am very much looking forward to this first session.

Frankly, I have dozens RPGs I want to run, at least 9 of which are adjacent to or reminiscent of Dungeons & Dragons. I'll see how this one and its community develop, but even if I bought it today, it would likely be years before I even considered running something for it.

Waiting for the reprint, since our first two shipments sold out instantly and now all the distributors seem to be out.

 

[Fifinjir]

Watch people talking about it and see if I like what I hear enough to buy it.

The great thing is, you don't have to buy it blind. There is an SRD and a TON of free material.

Watching lots of these discussions, I think folks are better off investigating for themselves. There are lots of different, sometimes perplexing, interpretations of DH out there ("It's a 4E variant!") and any one of them could give you a false impression.

You can also check out the Get Your Sheet Together videos. They are short and fun and informative.
