The Witches Cottage

You’ve been summoned to investigate a noblewoman’s death. Her final moments point to a haunted portrait where a woman in red moves closer every night. Painted in Red is a beginner-friendly, learn-to-play one-shot set in the gothic world of Andaluria. You’ll play a band of monster hunters summoned to a lavish manor, where a noblewoman has been found dead beneath an ancient family portrait. Inside the painting, a figure in red has appeared—and something about the family history doesn’t add up. Uncover the old secrets of the Valera family and reveal the true nature of the monster you're hired to face. 🎭 Beginner Friendly — No Daggerheart experience required! Learn the rules naturally as we explore the mystery. 🕯️ Pregenerated Characters — Jump straight into the story with a ready-to-play Level 1 character you can add your own flair to. Both Core and Hope & Fear content will be available. 🩸 'Dark Heart of Andaluria' Campaign Frame — Decadent estates, candlelit manors, ghost stories and beautiful things hiding terrible truths...is there anything better? 🌙 If you're a fan of Castlevania, The Witcher, The Haunting of Hill House and Crimson Peak, lit your lantern and hope you survive the night.

"Five years ago, a thousand ships answered Agamemnon's call and departed Greece to bring about Ilium's ruin. The greatest heroes, the mightiest weapons, and the most mythical stories are somewhere else.  You are among who remains.  I am Homer, and I will sing of you, amongst Other Names." Set in a fabled Age of Rhapsody — paying homage to the Bronze Age, Greek tragedy and comedy, and classical myth — Echoes of Fate is a homebrew Campaign Frame for Daggerheart exploring lies and prophecies, the making of myths, and what it costs to break destiny. You are not the hero the epic was written for. No prophecy names you. No Muse has claimed your story...yet. So what do you make of a life the songs haven't told yet? If you are a fan of myth retellings such as EPIC: the Musical, A Thousand Ships, The Song of Achilles, come sit by the fire. Some notes on the setting: •  The gods are present but distracted — drawing their eye may bring you greatness, or ruin. Or maybe you'll be drawn to the Mysteries instead? •  No prophecy protects you: your choices ripple outward, and could alter canon myths and even the course of the war itself. •  All stories are welcome, this table is LGBTQ+ friendly. •  New to tabletop, Daggerheart, or Greek myth? This table is beginner-friendly. And no Classics degree required, just curiosity. EU-friendly hours (evenings except weekends where I can do mornings or early afternoons) or US- friendly (late afternoons/early evening). Sessions can be weekly or bi-weekly through StartPlaying.com, at 20$ per session. About me: - I've been a Dungeon Master for almost 8 years and I have plenty of experience in guiding new players. I prefer Theater of the Mind with minimal VTT support. - Your story will matter and I love a long, narrative background I can weave into the main story. - I do character voices!  - I also do character artworks :D Safety tools: Session 0, Lines and Veils, Consent checklist and X cards. I prefer to be honest in advance: Echoes of Fate draws from real life in addition to myth. Slavery was present in Ancient Greece, as was mysogyny, war and violence. You will be able to challenge these in-game through your character, or ask me to avoid mentioning them and I will do my best to do so.

Platform: Discord (Voice) + HeartofDaggers (character sheets) + Foundry VTT (maps and battle maps) Players: 4–5 | Level 2 characters, created together before we start The Setup The Drylands are frontier country. Prospectors and mages dig Essentia out of these hard hills, and everyone is trying to carve off a piece of it before somebody else does. You have been out on the flats for months. Whatever the job was, it is done and the pay is in your pocket. Now you are riding back into Miquera, the little town in the Caradondo mountain pass. One main street, a saloon, a general store, an old stone church. You can see the smoke long before you reach it. The ground is shaking. Stones are coming down off the peaks. The church spire is leaning, the saloon is burning, and people you have known your whole life are running in the street with buckets that are not going to be enough. Old Jess out by the claim always said the veins were the bones of something sleeping. She said the old gods left their titans in the ground, and that men who dig deep enough will one day dig too deep. Nobody ever paid her much mind. They will now. Expectations & Requirements Player Knowledge: You should have a general understanding of how the basic Daggerheart rules work. We'll build characters together on HeartofDaggers before we start, so no prep needed on your end. Tech Requirements: A working headset and a decent microphone are required for clean audio on Discord. Tone: A frontier western where the ground itself turns against the town. Gameplay: Rescue, investigation, tough choices, and a finale that will test the whole party.
