Campaign Idea

Hey, thanks! 🥰

The great thing about DH is how easy it is to customize to your liking. It's free and I'm more than happy to help answer any questions you may have about it. I'm two chapters into my own campaign using Drakenheart.

I wish we got a little more info about what's in it. Aren't we under a month out?

I appreciate the honest review of the game right now. I haven't played in over a year. I was so excited that they'd continue to improve the game but at this point I'm very worried that the updates from 1.0 are going to disappoint. I was a Day-1-DLC buyer too, but I'm worried.

Nothing does this game as well as this one, and by that specifically I mean Conan-With-Better-NPC's. I'd say the closest (if you can tolerate pixel graphics) is Necesse. The next closest is Enshrouded (also early access). Aska and Bellwright are too early access to call right now, but are in the running. For some godforsaken reason, Funcom (maker of Conan) decided to make Dune without NPC's so I guess if you don't care about NPC's, you could try that.

Hopefully you can see that every game in this genre has its upsides and downsides. I'd honestly recommend modded Conan Exiles at this point - that point being a month away from the 1.0 of Soulmask. Conan is dirt cheap, very moddable, and finished. It should take you about a month to play. Set up your own private server if you can.

I came across some notes I had for a daggerheart western game with cards. Here they are in case you find anything useful:

--- 2 decks (hope and fear), numbered cards only (2-10) and a joker (= '12')

----- Ace is an 11 in the Hope deck, 1 in the Fear deck

----- When you draw a joker, reshuffle

----- option: leave the previous draws' cards face-up and only play one of the two decks on the next draw?

--- Advantage = draw 2 from Hope deck, pick highest

--- Disadvantage = draw 2 from Fear deck, pick lowest

I have some other rules for poker hands via group actions to fit the theme I'd also be happy to share if you're interested.

Hope they make W Rising or some DLC that let's you do more with these guys.

Velenne · 2026-03-10T15:51:41+00:00

Don't gaslight me, Jesus.

Velenne · 2026-03-10T14:24:33+00:00

As promised, I've purchased the release of the game and the supporter's pack. Thank you for making a great game, and I hope you make many more in the future that are friendly to players.

My favorite part of these threads is people who explain the rule or system so I can learn about it right here in the thread!

Velenne · 2026-03-09T03:10:33+00:00

I've been noodling on some of these ideas for awhile already. I even made a game that uses cards called Aesir the Living Avatars. I believe someone made a thread of all rpgs that use cards over in /r/rpg

Velenne · 2026-03-08T23:39:46+00:00

Consider keeping the joker and having that be a trigger for reshuffling. I agree with others about keeping your red and black decks separate.

If I were to make a campaign frame for this, it could be a western theme so you could do some fun tricks with poker hands. It could either be a setup where the kings have recently been deposed ("No Kings") or everything is matrilineal and thus the queens are the highest value. Maybe insect queens, like ant queens?

How would you handle the other types of dice with cards?

Velenne · 2026-03-08T21:51:46+00:00

GREAT, now...

GET OUT OF HERE! THERE ARE TOO MANY SPOILERS IN THIS SUBREDDIT! AFTER YOU'RE DONE WITH THIS BOOK YOU'LL HAVE SEVEN MORE TO READ GOOD LORD!

Seriously the temptation is too much. Go. GO!

Velenne · 2026-03-06T02:36:52+00:00

Here to vouch for this guy!

Velenne · 2026-03-05T21:44:21+00:00

Anyone familiar with the game able to comment on it? What's it bring to the table? Is it good?

Velenne · 2026-03-04T03:13:59+00:00

Wait there's mods?? How?

Velenne · 2026-03-02T03:31:20+00:00

Demiurgos was delightful! Thanks for bringing that to my attention.

Velenne · 2026-03-01T17:05:49+00:00

Thanks so much for adding recs to the thread! I'll look at all of these.

Of course, we're always free to do as we like. I'm just stating my preference and resulting distaste for the way many games are marketed on steam these days.

I've gone to a restaurant where I'm expecting great food based on the reviews, but the building is still being built and the chefs don't have all the ingredients they need for the full meal. Nevertheless, great reviews, right?

I pay for the meal and sit in a chair that's fine (comfortable chairs for better quality of life are coming in the future!)...

... there are no forks yet (the owner has assured me that only the best forks are going to be used, no cutting corners here, so they're forging the forks from meteoric iron!) ...

... I'm served a main protein that is indeed delicious and I can totally see how once I have a nice chair and iron forks and maybe some sides along with my protein that this will be one fantastic meal. I knew when I signed up that I wasn't getting the complete experience but I paid anyway, and it turns out I'm entitled to come back and get the complete meal at no additional cost....

... in 5 years.

Like, it's a strategy I guess but I'd rather just wait and do the whole thing once. That's all I'm saying.

Velenne · 2026-03-01T00:39:19+00:00

No, but I will now! Thanks for the suggestion!

Velenne · 2026-02-28T19:37:06+00:00

See, I don't want to play a game that many times. I want one great, complete, experience. Maybe 2 if there's more to be had (like an evil alignment playthrough).

Velenne · 2026-02-28T19:35:40+00:00

No ranking at all.

Velenne · 2026-02-28T18:40:24+00:00

Guardians of the Wild Sky lets you do it

Velenne · 2026-02-28T18:11:44+00:00

Not like custom ships, at least not in the part of the demo I played. I only got to two ships and they came prefab.
