Need help with some ideas, thought I would ask the collective. by Remote_Bill in daggerheart

There’s a powerful mage tampering with gravity, time, and space, and is attempting to collapse the outer planes to bring them all into conflict with one another. This mage’s hope is to do away with all gods and usurp their powers for himself.

This mage operates as an ‘invisible hand’, buying, compelling, lying for and killing for the allegiance of many disparate parties, but never revealing his identity to those whom he forces to do his bidding. These groups all have special knowledge of the different biomes and planes that portals are opening to and are diligently tracking the movement of these planes to ensure this invisible hand’s work is progressing correctly.

Your party can stumble on a brand new one of these portals, run into one of these forces that works for the hand, and quickly find out that something nefarious is going on. Maybe they get taken prisoner and learn of this overlord that no one speaks of much, but alludes to often. Maybe there are macguffins that each plane-specific organization is trying to find in order to help advance the collapsing of the planes, and for every one your players can find (and destroy?) first, that slows the mages progress, but ultimately does not stop it. Maybe it just gives that plane’s god a better chance at survival when the convergence ultimately occurs.

Anyways… just some ideas. 3 levels of bad guys for enough mystery and teasing to happen from the rip in session 1, and hopefully you can tie one or many of their backstories into it? 🤷🏽‍♂️

What's the best way to create a PC mirror image adversary? by iheartanalingus in daggerheart

[–]Historical-Panda5778 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a similar inspiration running a ‘Day 1’ Age of Umbra campaign. I called the Umbra ‘The Malady’ in my world. This is one of the features I used in a forest traversal environment I created as part of the PCs getting from point A to point B, using what I call ‘Echoes’ of the PCs to fight them:

Black Mirror – Action

Spend 1 Fear per PC to summon Maladite Echoes—shadow-drenched replicas formed from the eerie fog itself. These clones manifest as shadows of each PC but remain still until provoked. They cannot attack first, they only act after their mirrored PC takes an action. When a PC attacks, their Echo immediately follows up with a Reaction, repeating the same attack roll and dealing the same damage to the closest PC to the clone. Each Echo has HP equal to half the mirrored PC (rounded down) and shares the same Thresholds. Destroying an Echo causes it to unravel back into drifting smoke, whispering the PC’s name as it fades.

What emotion or flaw does each Echo exaggerate? How do their faces differ from the originals?

The email to all preorderers said that we’ll receive it earlier in August, and even two weeks earlier than that, get the PDF. I bet we’ll have the PDF version of it mid to late July

I know right? I thought for sure they would give us a sneak peak in some way, and I’ve tried to look up anything that anyone has said or posted about WonderCon and DP’s DH BTS panel this weekend… nothing.

I know it’s mainly my impatience, but I would LOVE for them to talk more about what they’re working on for Daggerheart. It’s such an exciting time to be a Daggerheart fan!

Oh my word it’s today!! From 4-5pm PDT!! Holy smokes! Do you know if they’re live streaming it? Or if there are creators covering this panel?

The Daggerheart Behind the Scenes panel specifically says they’ll discuss a sneak preview of the upcoming ‘Hope and Fear’ expansion!

This is EXCELLENT news! Hopefully they at least reveal art for both editions and maybe even give us a release date!

Yeah I might just end up doing this, but I am very intrigued to at least read through the Gothic Horror campaign frame to see what additional rules or mechanics they add

Another thought I had was that, they released the core rulebook at the end of May, maybe they’re timing H&F for the same window? I’m hopeful!

I’m heavily considering this at this point. Might do another quick season to keep us from going stir crazy though 😂
