This toolkit will make your games flow much faster. It has quite a bit of the homework frontloaded so poor, over-worked DMs can stay focused on telling the story. Not only am I a user, but I'm a supporter as well!

I've been using the toolkit as a player now for about 6 months. Having stepped back into AD&D 1e for the first time in decades I've appreciated the way the toolkit automates a lot of the rules. I also like the interface and design, it's easy to get around and find what you're looking for. Moreover, the discord community is active and friendly. I've learned a lot about 1e just from the community. I've played in 2 campaigns, both of which I found through the community. I highly recommend it.

I really appreciate that fact that someone has made tools for 1st edition. There are lots of resources out there for newer versions, but this is great for us old school types!

Daggerheart (2025)

TTRPG
Beginner-friendly
High-Fantasy
Daggerheart is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game published by Darrington Press, an imprint of Critical Role Productions. The game was released in 2025. Description Daggerheart is a story-docused role-playing game system, where the rules direct players to think narratively and not just mechanically. The game uses a system called Duality Dice, where players roll two twelve-sided dice. One for Hope and one for Fear. In addition to determining whether the character achieves success or fails at the action they are trying to perform, it also generates a helpful Hope resource for the player, or a challenging Fear resource for the game master (GM). Lead designer Spenser Starke explained that there is "also no initiative in Daggerheart". It functions very much like a Forged in the Dark or a Powered By The Apocalypse game, where the GM is making moves on certain dice rolls and we're passing play back and forth as a conversation. It all flows together in a way that supports the storytelling-first direction that Critical Role has really embraced over the last decade". The game features 279 supplemental cards to track player abilities and characteristics. Darrington Press also launched several digital resources, including an online custom card creator.

Character illustrations
Hi! My name is Cheto See, and I’m a Concept Artist/Illustrator. I make artwork for TTRPG Sourcebooks and even more fun, commissions of players’ characters. My specialty is designing characters, and helping people visually build their characters, sometimes in ways they couldn’t even imagine. I have a background in costume design, I continuously research historical clothing and equipment, and supernatural lore from many different cultures, and I even practice historical archery, and have dabbled in HEMA. When it comes to visually building fantasy characters, I know my stuff! /images/general-media/1779283367_8UhQmszY.jpg I can draw: - Full Body Character Artwork (with a plain background) - Half Body Character Artwork (with a simple background) - Character Reference Sheets (with Front and Back views and costume and prop callouts) - Even simple colored sketches just to help you visualize your character! You can check out my work at: https://artstation.com/chetosee https://www.instagram.com/chetosee.art/ /images/general-media/1779283386_tbVsjI61.jpg For rates and details, you can reach me at: chetosee@gmail.com Or place orders at: https://vgen.co/chetosee Thank you!
