My Thoughts on Daggerheart Campaign Frames*

Witherwild

I like the concept but it doesn’t call to me all that strongly.

The ethical reasonings and philosophical thoughts I had while reading this were really interesting and it would be cool to see how a campaign would deal with those.

I think it would be very fun for me to play but I wouldn’t love to GM it.

Five Banners Burning

A fanatic concept. I really like the political themes because you can do some much both in and out of the direct political conflicts and it’s something that makes a world feel very real.

I think being a player in this would be very fun and deeply intriguing and I would also love to see people play it and talk about it etc.

I would like to GM, but I would be hesitant because I struggle with these massive, detailed, campaigns.

Beast Feast

My favorite, holy shit. I love Dungeon Meshi!

I think it’s just a great possibility of altering gameplay, even if you only use the mechanics of cooking and not the storyline/world they set up for you.

I would be so so down to both GM and play.

Age of Umbra

I would not GM this but would fine with playing it, though I wouldn’t be overly enthusiastic about it.

I like the campaign frame, however it’s not my personal cup of tea due to the dark and brooding nature—but! I love the campaign mechanics of lurking darkness and the change to how the scars work.

What I want most for this campaign is for Critical Role to do another ministries of it.

Motherboard

I was initially not interested in the slightest, but the concept is really cool and I would not be opposed to playing, despite it not being my personal vibe.

The world building is very well done and sets up so a fascinating campaign. The campaign frame may seem rather complex at first but it is explained very well and I wouldn’t worry too much unless you want to learn kohd.

I wouldn’t GM it and it wouldn’t be my first choice as a player but I hope those that are interested in tech based games find this because it gives you a lot to play with.

Colossus of the Drylands

I love the aesthetic and the fairly straight forward goal of the campaign and would be stoked to play this at some point.

I would not want to GM this one at all and making a colossus would probably make me cry.

I really enjoy the lore behind this one—is it what I would do if I had made this campaign? No, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s very interesting and adds a lot of depth to something that could easily be described as a cowboy-gold rush fusion campaign.

*these are my opinions on if I’d liked to play them, not if they are objectively good.

[agonethetic]

I think a Five Banners Burning campaign from Daggerheart is going to scratch the itch, and I’m going to make the MOST Teor and Wicander NPCS ever unless one of my players helps me with it

Daggerheart Character Concept: Mjalik

This guy is new. I only recently started to consider the pre-packaged campaign frames and their potential. I have only a few characters who are designed with specific frames in mind.

I am not brave enough to run a Five Banners Burning campaign. But were I to ever play one... meet Mjalik.

This seaborne orc martial artist brawler asks the absolutely essential question: what if Azog the Defiler was a surfer dude? With sick tats?

I'm in love with the brawler class. Of my fourteen current character concepts, I have two wizards, two sorcerers, two seraphs, and three brawlers. Notably, I have no warriors or guardians, because I usually don't care at all for the classes with no spellcast trait. I like when magic go boom.

However, with a brawler, fists go incredibly boom. I Am The Weapon is a spectacular feature. Both Zarra and Death Cap are juggernauts because Bowser and Venom are supposed to pack a wallop.

But I wanted to make a martial artist, to explore the martial forms. Originally, I thought up a Yoda-like goblin character, but that idea fell by the wayside when I combined a largely uninteresting surfer dude archetype (posthumously named Surfer Dud) and a nebulous tattooed pale orc who needed to be just a little more interesting. The result was Mjalik, an outwardly chill beach bro with dozens of confirmed kills.

Narratively, Mjalik is a character that I want the rest of the party to find — specifically in a cell. He used to roll with Armada (one of the Banners Burning) until Hilltop (another Banner Burning) locked him up because they were scared of him. The details of that, I'd leave to a GM who is hopefully better at politics than me.
