CAMPAIGN FRAMES

A campaign frame provides inspiration, tools, and mechanics to support a particular type of story at the table.

Every campaign frame has a complexity rating that indicates how much its mechanics deviate from or expand upon the Daggerheart core ruleset.

Each campaign frame includes the following sections:

  • A pitch to present to players
  • Suggestions and guidance on tone, feel, themes, and touchstones
  • An overview of the campaign’s background
  • Guidance for fitting communities, ancestries, and classes into the setting
  • Principles for players and GMs to focus on during the campaign
  • Unique setting distinctions
  • An inciting incident to launch the campaign
  • Special mechanics to use during the campaign
  • Questions to consider during session zero

You can find each campaign frame map in the appendix of the core rulebook or at www.daggerheart.com/downloads.
