Girls Night Out: Daggerheart

About Girls Night Out (GNO)

Girls Night Out (GNO) is a monthly event open to anyone identifying as female, including trans women and gender non-binary.

While these events have primarily been one-shot games using D&D 5th edition and one-page RPGs, and we may still offer these options from time to time, Karen will be running a loose campaign using Daggerheart, for as long as there is interest in it. This campaign will focus on adventuring board quests initially, and the results of these quests will influence later levels. The intention is for this game to go to Level 10 (the highest level in Daggerheart).

Players can expect high fantasy, and games will vary between combat, roleplay, and exploration/investigation–depending on table composition and player/party preference.

Daggerheart is a relatively new RPG (released May 2025 with about a year of open beta playtests in 2024), so we are all learning together, and questions are always welcome!

Setting Information

This game will take place in the Eberron setting developed by Keith Baker; the vibe of the setting is often described as steampunk or magitech, but can also drift into noir, high fantasy, etc.. For this campaign, PCs will be based in Stormreach, a small city ruled by a council of “reformed” pirates, with the vibes of Port Royal or Tortuga. Stormreach is on the continent of Xen’drik, which was cursed long ago, and is now considered a treasure trove of ancient knowledge and, well, treasure–for those willing to brave the dangers.

Players are not required to be familiar with Eberron, but if you are interested in the setting, you are welcome to contact Karen with questions (or to request additional resources), or check out the sources below:
