The newest crowdfunding campaign by the Dungeon Dudes has gone live. The aptly named Dungeons of Drakkenheim: Daggerheart aims to adapt the award-winning campaign to Darrington Press’ fantasy TTRPG. It was fully funded in just 13 minutes.
The Dungeons of Drakkenheim: Daggerheart Campaign
According to the official campaign page, Dungeons of Drakkenheim: Daggerheart will bring every faction, intrigue, and horror of the original campaign to Darrington Press’ Daggerheart system.
This will not be a simple conversion. Joining the Dungeon Dudes’ team on this project is Daggerheart designer, Mike Underwood. This is to ensure this adaptation is built from the ground up to retain the excitement and intensity of the original Dungeons of Drakkenheim experience. Said experience is a sandbox-style campaign designed for characters at levels 1-10.
For enterprising GMs, the Dungeons of Drakkenheim: Daggerheart campaign will include official mechanics for the game’s contaminations, mutations, and anomalies. This is because the titular Drakkenheim setting is a wasteland ravaged by an eldritch storm of otherworldly magic. These can be used as intended in this campaign, or can be adapted into your own home game of Daggerheart.

One of these mechanics is the new Contaminated Domain cards. As your characters’ contamination rises, they lose equal levels of Hope, a vital resource in Daggerheart. The trade-off is access to new card abilities, which you must give the GM Fear to use. Fear a GM can use to make the next challenge more harrowing.
