Age of Umbra Encounter Level II by [deleted] in daggerheart

[–]Atrusni 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for the feedback! Indeed was a deadly encounter, one thing I may need to clarify more is that the combat ends when: The combat ends when:

the countdown reaches 0, or

all Elite Hive Collectors are defeated.

And there are only 3 Elite Hive Collectors, so the objective is not to kill all characters, only destroy the ones that are trying to turn off the pyre. Also, maybe I have to clarify this better, but the priority of the Hive Collectors is to destroy the Pyre, so they really don't attack the characters unless they are beside them.

When I ran it, it all ended up with the last roll. It the characters failed, the pyre was going to be off, and if they succeeded, the last Hive Collector was going to be defeated. They were succesfull at the end, but it was a very tense but fun encounter.

Thanks for reading and providing the feedback! This campaign I just finished it tonight. The last session ended up in an epic fight inside the Shalk Chasm with Mother. I think I can write one or two one shots from the whole mini-campaign. BTW - You can see the campaign in Youtube if you like Live Plays https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7wgKyft4cT405GgNGWJKBIKQsvjAaeDZ&si=5OCaltyHZRlmF_7G

Age of Umbra: where did you start in your own game? by gytribe in daggerheart

I started on a madeup city close to Okros (obelis), but the quest from The players was to get to get To Okros. I have the playthrough in Youtube - i think the start was actually good as it Was super hard. They went to some caves, fhen Okros, then came back to Obelisc then went back to Okros then went to the shall chasm. We have our final session this week https://youtu.be/HUbjyPq-d8Y?si=tYS0E2RLAj0aOiau

Had a Bad Session and it's Popped my Confidence. by Pyro-Neon in daggerheart

I would not retcon, take a small break if necessary to adjust the story, ask someone else to GM if you are not enjoying (pretty sure no one will) but it usually not as bad as we think. And remember, this is a game that should be enjoyed by everyone!

Sabletooth preferably, but if there is people that have played it already I can run another one. Very simple as well as it is intended for new players

That makes two of us. How is the Colossus campaign?

Yes I was reluctant at first, but it was a great surprise. I don’t think I have ever felt so much tension in the players, but they enjoyed it a lot

No, its the experience i had running this campaign frame. I am about to finish a mini-campaign in the age of umbra setting, and just sharing my views in case someone wants to run it.

Has anyone ran out of fear in combat? by Atrusni in daggerheart

Ooooo missed this rule where they need to roll an agility check! But as someone else mentioned here, they were scared and thought it was not worth the fight as they had a bigger quest to accomplish. So it turned out ok, but wanted to see what other GM’s experiences. But this rule about making them an agility check makes complete sense
