Session 0: Stacking the Deck | Dark Age: Voltaire's Aces | Daggerheart

Officially supported by @DarringtonPress Join Bards of New York for Session 0 of their new mini-campaign using Darrington Press' Daggerheart: Hope & Fear system and expansion! The Bards go over their consent checklist, mechanics, and grimdark setting. Then they dive into introducing the characters and the first moments of the campaign proper. _"We are about to join the high rollers table — to bet against a god. And to win with those stakes, I'm going to need a near perfect hand — a royal flush! …Good thing I keep plenty of Aces up my sleeve.”_Set in the beloved, grimdark world of Regolus Prime, our Aces — a group of rough-and-tumble criminals, outcasts, and fringefolk — assemble to punch far above their weight and enter a conflict being waged in the very heavens. All whilst working in the shadows of ruined temples and the grime of crowded shantytown streets. In the year 1024 DH, our mysterious and titular jester sends our Aces on a series of increasingly dangerous and occult heists. Together, we will face constructs of flesh and steel, walking siege-cathedrals, and echoes of prophecies meant for the very people the Aces are trying to rescue. The quest our Aces will embark upon asks the audience, players, and GM: When you truly believe the ends you aim for are good, just how far into the dark would you be willing to reach for the means? Whether it’s your first time at our table or not, prepare to ante up for a brand new round of mythweaving! ♥️♠️♦️♣️*_[This campaign takes place in Regolus, but requires no prior knowledge of the world or previous campaigns or episodes.]_*Find your way to the scrying pool known as Bards of New York:- Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/bardsofnewyork- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bardsofnewyork- Discord: https://discord.gg/4zVZ6BdbSA- Tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@bardsofnewyork- Podcast: https://linktr.ee/bardsofnewyork- Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bardsofnewyorkCast:- *William Chamption* as Game Master- *Rachel* as Omisha Varn- *Hannah Minshew* as Qazri'yel Qyx- *Miles Minshew* as Artemis Brahminy- *Kyle Knight* as Theoduros Alexandritis- *Jon Champion* as Marr’Aan Shivanas- *Dan Krackhardt* as Barbra HorrocksIf you liked our show, leave us a comment/like.
