A prewritten segment from my Witherwild campaign in Daggerheart:

Necrotic wither blight

"You hear that faint creaking and crunching sound. Like tiny bones being crushed under foot. And as you turn to look into the forest, you see an unnatural sight. The white barked trunks of the Aspens seem to part and the space between you and whatever is coming towards you seems to distort and warp like looking through a fish-eyed lens. And you can see, shambling through the parted trees, a massive tangled mass of... Something. It seems to alternate between stomping and skittering as it goes from four legs to two legs and then to six legs. You can see among its mass tangle root, and vine, and withering crystalline growth... And corpses.

And it isn't alone. Chittering around it's varying limbs, are wither blights. A more common sight amongst the wither wild wrecked frontier. Small bundles of plant matter with protruding crystalline growths. They're about the size of a large house cat and just as fast, though perhaps not as well balanced."

Unsurprisingly, this encounter has freaked out both groups I have run it for (this text was finalized after the first encounter went a little wonky). Seems a detailed description of a horrifying monster made of corrupt nature and corpses make people want to run instead of fight.

Touched by Nikta's curse

These are Ophelia and Haddad. Ophelia is my sister's character for Daggerheart, and Haddad is my own.

One of the main aspects of the Witherwild setting is the 'wither', a sort of magic illness that is capable of altering you physically and give you wild or naturalistic features. Both Ophelia and Haddad have been exposed to its effects via injuries during battle, so currently they both posess it to an extent.

Ophelia is a half-Katari, and has spent most of her life traveling and hunting through the expansive forests of Fanewick with her father; now deceased from the wither himself.

Haddad, a half-giant, has lived a peaceful, hard-working life up in the Fjallskär mountains, until his brother Luca's death, also from the wither.

They might be the only ones in their party who are currently scarred by the wither. But, as Haddad often tells Ophelia, "We're the strongest ones, that's why we can bear it".

New battlemap is up! This one is simple but I think it can be very interesting, so I hope you like it.

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.
