Daggerheart One-Shot Journey into Myth (Inactive)

Game Master Aeshuura

Androste & TheWorstFighter, do you have thoughts on your Community choices?

Lineup:

Scranford - Vesper Frostwing (Loreborne Drakona Wizard, School of Knowledge)

Androste - Faun Rogue

TheWorstFighter - Firbolg Ranger, Beastbound

Dread - Wanderborne Human Guardian, Stalwart

Spazmodeus

Eeerie - Wildborne Elf / Galapa Druid, Warden of Renewal

leaning towards a orderborne giant warrior, call of the slayer.

Nice! Maybe a cyclops? ^_^ Polyphemus!

Androste - Faun Rogue

Faun Rogue (Nightwalker) ... and I'm still trying to decide on Community.

Is there more information in the Daggerheart book about fauns that's not in the SRD? The SRD has purely physical and mechanical information, and I'm wondering if there's more to faun personalities and society in the non-SRD book.

Or is that purely up to me and what I envision fauns to be based on anything from Roman myth to Narnia to Percy Jackson?

I guess this would be analogous to me playing D&D the first time and creating a dwarven character picturing one of Snow White's seven dwarves, only to discover at the table that in nearly all D&D worlds, stereotypical dwarves are taciturn drunks who like honorable warfare.

I currently have a bunch of stuff on my plate, so I'm probably going to be somewhat slow working out my character's details.

That being said, community-wise I am almost certainly going to go with Wildborne. <i>Maybe</i> Wanderborne, should this be preferable in terms of party composition or somesuch.

Purely up to you. We are kind of leaning Greek Mythology, but you are able to contribute to the world! That is one of the things that I love about this game in particular! It invites the players to contribute!

@WorstFighter, no worries! We will have a lot of discussion before we actually start, so contribute where you can and I will make sure we are all ready before we start!

My thoughts are that Vesper is from the northern reaches and is a combination of glossy and flat white coloration, with pale blue eyes. He is almost an albino and usually takes precautions to keep out of the direct sunlight... often accomplished by use of a variety of umbrellas. He wasn't particularly upset that his condition caused him to have to stay indoors as he always enjoyed reading a good book or scribbling in his many journals to more physical activities as well... hence he never developed the strength many of his friends did.... and frankly didn't care.

When the opportunity came to travel to {GM Fill in the blanks or give a little guidance}, he jumped at the chance and found not only enjoyment in learning things... but that he might just have a gift for applying learned magical principals... But wait... Is there more magic available than what is here. I must find them.

And though I don't support AI created art and would never use it in anything published. This captures Vesper's look and personality perfectly.

Vesper Frostwing

Nice! I am thinking of starting us off in the City-State of Argos.

Okay, here's my thinking about fauns. Fauns are peaceful beings that live in the forest. Satyrs are mischievous beings that live in the forest. Fauns and satyrs are very similar physically. In fact, most non-fauns/satyrs have difficulty telling them apart, but fauns and satyrs don't have this issue.

My guy was a faun who lived in a community that was mistaken for satyrs by a mob that was enraged at something a satyr did. The faun colony was scattered, and my guy ended up fleeing to a city where he had to live by his fast reflexes to survive the streets. Eventually, he fell in with the thieves guild, where he learned many stereotypical thief skills, but it goes against his nature, and he's looking for a way to leave.

So, Slyborne would fit your boy best... I will note that down...

I was thinking Wildborne, actually. Since he was born in the woods.

I'm at the part where I have to choose Experiences, right now. These sort of abstract decisions are sometimes difficult for me, as opposed to just choosing from a list. I get decision paralysis!

In that case, I would make one of the experiences to do with your time on the streets.

What is our next step to moving forward with this?

If everyone can make their Aliases and Dot the Gameplay so that we have all the characters so I can go over them, then we can start!

Eerie here. I'll fill in this character later tonight.

This is Andostre's faun rogue. I'll work on filling in the alias. I've dotted the Gameplay thread.

Hey, in case this is helpful for anyone, I put together a quick template for my rogue to fill out my alias page. It's not perfect, but it gets all the information onto your alias. (I hope. I'm still learning.)

Copy the spoiler text into a text editor and do a find-and-replace to change all of the squiggly brackets into square brackets.

Ah, shoot. I don't have a line under Abilities for what you'd get from your Domain cards.

Okay, I've completed Kephalos' profile. At least until we get to the Connections part of character creation.

And here's a slightly updated template:

Jardeth

This is Dreads character...Jardeth of Constantinople.

Ive linked my demiplane sheet. let me know if you can see it.

I put in the 'connections' statements but without specifying who they are for.

Okay, just waiting for Spaz and Fighter. Fighter will be a little late, I believe... But we are patient. If you'd like to start asking the Connection Questions in the Discussion tab, pick another player and ask the question. That way you can start building your connections now.

And this is TheWorstFighter checking in! Sheet's not quite finished, but most of the basics should be there. (My thanks to Andostre for the template.)

If possible I would like for Enna to have a firbolg/human mixed heritage instead, as this would allow for a number of pieces (including the relevance of the artwork I have in mind for her) to fall in place more neatly. If it isn't, that is also OK!

I'll try to get the profile put in sometime today or tonight.

Me as well!

No worries! I just ran Daggerheart for the college Gamers Club on Wednesday and I think I have some converts! XD

My mother passed yesterday... so I'll be AFK the rest of the week. Go ahead and start without me if you wish... perhaps I can join in progress. I do have the link to a pdf of the character sheet if needed.

Condolences, my friend. Take all the time you need.

My condolences, scranford.

Got busy...truth to tell, while I'm interested, I'm going to have to pass. just a bit too much on my plate to figure out a new system.

Game on!

Understood! Maybe later or another game! Go kick life in the butt, Spaz!
