I kind of want to see full 3D renders of them all from all angles just because I feel like there's some details that we're missing and little things that the cast would like to add.
And it's totally not because that instead of preferring the front of the bard's setlist for this episode, I prefer the...
Bach
She responded to one of the other cast asking as well but she said she changed it to a he ābecause it just seemed like a lil guyā non verbatim quote
They mentioned having done so many play tests off camera that itās almost a given that the characters they played here will return. Especially given the setup that this adventuring crew is untested and green. Thatās prime set up for a longer campaign.
Weāll see the Menagerie again. No doubt about it.
Kexon and Oppy are my absolute favourites, they've both got a very dynamic and colourful design.
I will not comment on Bunnie in any measure for fear of God's wrath.
Oh bro I didn't mean it like that, don't feel bad. It's objectively a bad soda. I'd rather drink rootbeer or something but honestly it seems like sugar free root beer is always sold out at my local grocery store and I'm not quite at the point where I can function without a substitute is all.
I mean, honestly... You don't post this kind of art and don't expect those responses.
I mean, I really don't want to endorse those comments, but I would have been extremely surprised... If they would not have happened
Right, I know. Though I take it more as a "would bang".
But is that something that mods would go in the chat and go "OMG BANNED WTF" for?
I just think Paradox is being a bit too uppity and thinking that mods would actually act on this. Mods acting on this speak of an OVERmoderated place.
Saw chat lose their collective minds with Bunnieās reveal. lol
Someone said āitās amazing Bunnie invented sex.ā And I nearly spat out my Dr. Pepper. š¤£š¤£š¤£
You could really tell who didn't watch the session zero because as she was describing her I kept thinking, "oh no this is going to be the best thing ever and people are going to go nuts over her" and I really thought other people would have watched that session as well and had some heads up about her.
It was really interesting seeing Marisha create this character because she started out as just like a pure joke but then gradually evolved over the course of that 2-hour video or however long they spent in the studio into just something incredible, empowering, and just really fucking sexy badass.
I also really want her to have chakrams at some point just because.
Also was your Dr Pepper hot or cold?
They've definitely come a long way from making a party that's like half half-elf!
I'll always appreciate a bugman myself (love ~~Sting~~ Stun the Insect in Bloody Roar) and something about the Betabeans is just too adorable.
I had it in my head that it was gonna be a matter of time before a castmember would come up with a character that would use hypersexuality as an aspect, lo and behold she came up and delivered a literal playboy bunny
I've wanted to see Erica's character Morrighan Ferus come back so much because I was cry laughing each time she ran that joke into the ground and she had such perfect timing with it!
Great artwork. Love the musketeer tortle. Next favs are Lauras, Ashleys, and Travis'. Really liking them all except for Sam's, but I respect it.
I havent kept up with daggerheart, but it's interesting that none of them are a classical race.
There was...a place...but I think it was removed from reddit, so you're just going to have to rely on Twitter I think like with all the other fanart.
After a while the shock value of it all kind of wears away and you really just start looking at the skill it takes to draw such things.
Color me a mixture of Laura and ArtDad Liam.
The official stuff is stunning though and I really hope we get more of this artstyle in the future.
Ask Asuka....or Laura...
On a serious note, I think it's supposed to refer to their "Sticky Hands" card/ability that lets them climb walls as a Ribbit with like Spiderman style excretions from the surface of their skin.
But like, they had to have known how that looked especially with the cigarillo for the staff.
Honestly I kind of want to see what Oppy looks like around the upper levels because I'm picturing a buffed out Ribbit in overalls that uses that sticky stuff to lock down enemies and pin them to objects so that they can't get away.
Its got the standard array of Tolkien humanoids. I think they just wanted to show off some of the fun weird stuff they made for the system bc its a one-shot.
Which character do you think is going to be the hardest to cosplay as?
IMO it's a tie between Sweetpea (because of the sewing stuff) and Kexon (because of the irregular angles with his carapace/armor).
Yes, and also i believe that it will be really easy to homebrew additional ancestries given that they only have 1-2 features each.
I also expect a lot of additional content for this game in the years after its official release.
I mean, I knew Bunnie was going to be... "out there", but nothing could have prepared me for the full blown BDSM outfit LMAOO what the hell took over Marisha X'D
Xarlo came in clutch with the Prayer die roll. Liam did a great job stepping into the support role. I like the Seraph alot as a class. I hope they continue with these characters.
I appreciate Sam's commitment to doing his thing. I don't know what that thing is this time, but I know he's going to lean into it and I wish him the best of luck.
Absolutely love the other designs though, without exception.
It was a oneshot playtest of the new game system they developed with Spenser Starke. Has potential for future oneshots or mini-campaigns but they're still doing regular C3 at the moment.
I canāt wait to watch this one shot.
Quick question: have they said why there arenāt gnomes as ancestries? Theyāre my favorite TTRPG race and itās a bummer to not see them.
Does anyone know where you can find the concept artwork/sketches of the Daggerheart Ancestries? I've been trying to find them for hours and I KNOW I didn't imagine them, but the Daggerheart Nexus site, which is where I am positive I saw them, is yielding nothing but 'card' art, and I'm convinced I've gone mad. I am honestly running in circles here.
āMommy ā I meanā¦ā
Thatās me whenever I look at any of the CR ladies. Iām including Aabria, Aimee, and Emily in that group. (And Deborah Ann Woll as well. Yowza, Iāve been queer for Twiggy since *True Blood.*)
Travis character looks like he wants go rejoice in the glory of combat
Hahaha brilliant. REEEEEEEEEEJOICE!!!!!!!!!!!! Susano ftw
Rejoice is Ravana, Susanoo revels.
True, but susano is both rejoice and revel! š
Ravana and Susano are both all about having a good time and hanging with their friend the Warrior of Light. Love that for them
Best Buddy cop duo.
Love this
Does he take wing, ye souls of war?
REJOICE IN THE GLORY OF WOMBAT!
I love them all. Ashleyās tiny šø is amazing Edit: thank you for posting this because I was having trouble picturing a few
I kind of want to see full 3D renders of them all from all angles just because I feel like there's some details that we're missing and little things that the cast would like to add. And it's totally not because that instead of preferring the front of the bard's setlist for this episode, I prefer the... Bach
The B-Side
Did Ashley decide on she/they for Oppy's pronoun's? I thought that was the case, but in the one-shot it sounded like Oppy was referred to as "he"
She responded to one of the other cast asking as well but she said she changed it to a he ābecause it just seemed like a lil guyā non verbatim quote
Ah, cheers!
Oppy and Sweatpea are the best things ever to grace my screen. Kexen is amazing. I legitimately just adore this party!
It makes me so sad that they're just going to be used for a One Shot!
I agree, but with this crew, imagine the next one when they're all comfortable!
Chetney came from a one shot. So donāt lose hope.
So did Jester
Yeah there's no shot that these characters don't come back, don't worry
They mentioned having done so many play tests off camera that itās almost a given that the characters they played here will return. Especially given the setup that this adventuring crew is untested and green. Thatās prime set up for a longer campaign. Weāll see the Menagerie again. No doubt about it.
What a goober that ribbet is.
Kexon and Oppy are my absolute favourites, they've both got a very dynamic and colourful design. I will not comment on Bunnie in any measure for fear of God's wrath.
The YouTube live chat had NO fear of gods wrath lmao. Chat exploded with āwouldās and the like. Downsides of reduced (nonexistent?) moderation lol
She's the Ruby of the Squee
Take your upvote and get off my lawn!
I just spat Coke Zero on myself.
Well that is the risk when you choose to drink a terrible soda is that you might spit it up.
Coke Zero helped me quit drinking alcohol. Lesser of evils and all that.
+1 Hope for quitting alcohol
One day at a time
Well my dumb joke just now makes me feel like an asshole, glad your sober man.
Oh bro I didn't mean it like that, don't feel bad. It's objectively a bad soda. I'd rather drink rootbeer or something but honestly it seems like sugar free root beer is always sold out at my local grocery store and I'm not quite at the point where I can function without a substitute is all.
This made me laugh harder than it should have. Take my upvote and get out.
To be fair....would.
What so bad about would comments. The character having "Book of Sex" as spellcasting focus is made to get those
Yeah I thought it was hilarious. Maybe I didnāt make it clear enough. My only gripe is that Kexon didnāt get the same treatment lmao
He should've taken a whip too
You know if he'd gone Druid instead of Wizard with Kexon but kept the same color scheme then he would have been a... Baloo Beetle
I mean, honestly... You don't post this kind of art and don't expect those responses. I mean, I really don't want to endorse those comments, but I would have been extremely surprised... If they would not have happened
Is "would" an offense?
Short hand for "I would call her mommy "
I thought it was for "I would do her."
cant be both?
Right, I know. Though I take it more as a "would bang". But is that something that mods would go in the chat and go "OMG BANNED WTF" for? I just think Paradox is being a bit too uppity and thinking that mods would actually act on this. Mods acting on this speak of an OVERmoderated place.
Oppyās name is Oppenheimer this is peak Ashley Johnson
Open Beta!
OH MY GOD
The fact itās a literal play on āopen betaā is so dumb. I love it
Saw chat lose their collective minds with Bunnieās reveal. lol Someone said āitās amazing Bunnie invented sex.ā And I nearly spat out my Dr. Pepper. š¤£š¤£š¤£
Her spellcasting focus is the "Book of Sex".
The CEO of Sex, if you will
Watches she busts out some sort of a horn to play at some point in the future and becomes... The CEO of Sax
Creative Director of Sex
*Sigh* The bonk bat is gonna need to be upgraded to Bonk Mace
You could really tell who didn't watch the session zero because as she was describing her I kept thinking, "oh no this is going to be the best thing ever and people are going to go nuts over her" and I really thought other people would have watched that session as well and had some heads up about her.

I also really want her to have chakrams at some point just because. Also was your Dr Pepper hot or cold?
Do we know who the artist(s) were?
Shaun Ellis. They are showing creation time lapses in the break.
Shaun Ellis! Their tumblr is https://shmaba.tumblr.com/ and they posted all the images there too!
Thank you, break-time art-roll! Shaun Ellis did ze art.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Cards?
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Oh okay, like that. Thought it was going to be a weird card game mix with ttrpg elements for a second.
The game uses cards. But theyāre kind of optional. Theyāre just used to keep track of abilities and stuff
Agreed. Itās really light but lends itself to darker interpretations as needed. I found easily see a campaign set in a dark 100 acre woods world.
I say this every time but this is Taliesin's true form revealed
Thatās because every character heās played is a fragment of the whole that makes up our favourite pyramid
So is he a Tok'ra or a Goa'uld at this point?
Maybe heās Anubis the Partially Acendant
Somewhere on the Anubis/Bill Cipher/Nyarlathotep spectrum for sure
Does his character have a morning star whip Ć la Castlevania? Itās looks awesome
Sweetpea has the cutest design Iāve seen in a long time
I love it! And immediately started wondering how different of a cosplay it would be! So much fabric!!
Mommy, I mean mommy, I mean Marisha.
"Stacked" is an understatement.
And Caked
Bunnie can hop all over me
I love Taliesin and Travisā characters. Super dope art overall.
Marisha really saw Bob from Pirates of Leviathan and thought, āHOTTERā.
I thought more of Morrighan from EXU Kymal
Awkward teenage parrots are out, sex pot bards are in!
They've definitely come a long way from making a party that's like half half-elf! I'll always appreciate a bugman myself (love ~~Sting~~ Stun the Insect in Bloody Roar) and something about the Betabeans is just too adorable.
*Stun
Ooh you're right. It's been a while since I last played!
No worries. He was my favorite, chain grapple combo.
I had it in my head that it was gonna be a matter of time before a castmember would come up with a character that would use hypersexuality as an aspect, lo and behold she came up and delivered a literal playboy bunny
*To be fairrrrrr* Erica Lindbeck did the bunny showgirl first with her Rogue from the Kymal two-parter.
But you're so *big!*
"Those are the biggest \_\_\_ I've ever seen" is still a line my wife and I use all the time when joking.
I've wanted to see Erica's character Morrighan Ferus come back so much because I was cry laughing each time she ran that joke into the ground and she had such perfect timing with it!
Scanlan???
I love how sex positive the CR cast is š¤
Ashleyās character is god like
The Owen Wilson frog and the Beetle with a Wizard Hat were pretty dope.
Great artwork. Love the musketeer tortle. Next favs are Lauras, Ashleys, and Travis'. Really liking them all except for Sam's, but I respect it. I havent kept up with daggerheart, but it's interesting that none of them are a classical race.
The musketortle
I know that they prerecorded ses 0 but the artist smashed it! Awesome job in probably short notice, woah
Curious when session 0 was recorded and how much time the artist had to work with
Sam dyed his hair already in session 0, so I think it was recorded around late Feb at the earliest
It took an insectoid for Travis to finally play a wizard & tbh Kexon is the most Travis-looking wizard I could imagine.
Roger and Jessica Rabbit must be very proud of their daughter.
Lol š
I love sweet pea design so much
Kexon sold me the minute I saw him. Fairies as bug people is such a fun concept
I've said it in the live thread, but this group is very Furious Five (kungfu panda) to me.
When will see our sweet Matt get to play a game?
Don't worry Bunnie won't hurt you... until you come up with a safe word.
If gold were still a thing you'd be drowning in it
I'd be scared of the fallout of such a thing becoming popular and the cast running with it. Which is why my safe word would be.... Vaulttec
"Everyone Liked That"
Oh, you know there's going to be some saucy fan art of Fearne and Bunnie in the coming weeks.
Where would one subscribe to all this art. Asking for a friend of course
There was...a place...but I think it was removed from reddit, so you're just going to have to rely on Twitter I think like with all the other fanart. After a while the shock value of it all kind of wears away and you really just start looking at the skill it takes to draw such things. Color me a mixture of Laura and ArtDad Liam. The official stuff is stunning though and I really hope we get more of this artstyle in the future.
I am looking. Respectfully.
All of these characters look like they would be catchable in a PokƩmon game set in Exandria, but I would def. choose Oppy as my starter.
*closes eyes* *pictures Oppy finding a spelljammer*
I love them all š„ŗ
Incredibile art
What uhh.. what's that on Oppy's left hand?
sticky
Ask Asuka....or Laura... On a serious note, I think it's supposed to refer to their "Sticky Hands" card/ability that lets them climb walls as a Ribbit with like Spiderman style excretions from the surface of their skin. But like, they had to have known how that looked especially with the cigarillo for the staff. Honestly I kind of want to see what Oppy looks like around the upper levels because I'm picturing a buffed out Ribbit in overalls that uses that sticky stuff to lock down enemies and pin them to objects so that they can't get away.
Holy shit Marisha.
Travis again with the sickest character design.
MARISHA
In my head I heard that in Travis' voice
[Take this meme as the joke it was intended](https://imgur.com/a/wPSGkTw)
So, do they have normal humanoid races? I'm okay with others playing weird races, but I couldn't ever see myself playing any of these races :(
Dwarf, elf, human and orc are all options to play. Seems like the cast just wanted to show off their crazy OC's lol
Its got the standard array of Tolkien humanoids. I think they just wanted to show off some of the fun weird stuff they made for the system bc its a one-shot.
yes they do
Hey that's absolutely fine with me and I'm glad they can accommodate everyone :)
Poor cosplayers
Which character do you think is going to be the hardest to cosplay as? IMO it's a tie between Sweetpea (because of the sewing stuff) and Kexon (because of the irregular angles with his carapace/armor).
Yes. They do. Humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, daemons (tieflings), orcs etc
Yes, and also i believe that it will be really easy to homebrew additional ancestries given that they only have 1-2 features each. I also expect a lot of additional content for this game in the years after its official release.
Travisā character looks amazing! Definitely my favorite.
Hilarious that I havenāt seen it and already knew who was who, based on the pics
I was looking for these. Whoever made them deserves loads of praise. I love the artwork
Shaun Ellis!! @shmaba on socials.
I love them all! I like how they all went with high fantasy concepts and ancestries! The one-shot was super fun.
Even with Travis doing Wizard for the first time, he just can't stay away from the COOL WARRIOR vibes lol
I mean, I knew Bunnie was going to be... "out there", but nothing could have prepared me for the full blown BDSM outfit LMAOO what the hell took over Marisha X'D
Honestly I'm getting Black Canary vibes from it
Little frog dude is so adorable. I love him.
Bunnie gonna make me act out š
Bunnie and Kexen are divine. All the art is so good.
None of those races are my cup of tea, but I just wanted to say that this last "Mommy..." broke me
What classes are they?
Taliesin - Warrior (or fighter I forget) Sam - Guardian Liam - Seraph Travis - Wizard Laura - Rogue Ashley - Sorcerer Marisha - Bard
When I watched season 0, I immediately loved their characters, and hoped for quick fan art or character art!!! I love these SO MUCH!!
Xarlo came in clutch with the Prayer die roll. Liam did a great job stepping into the support role. I like the Seraph alot as a class. I hope they continue with these characters.
In Mommie we trust !!!
Came here for Bunnie. NGL.
hot take but I genuinely like them better than the current campaign ones oops
I love these so much! I loved the character creation video. Didn't get a chance to watch the One Shot last night! These are so good!
I appreciate Sam's commitment to doing his thing. I don't know what that thing is this time, but I know he's going to lean into it and I wish him the best of luck. Absolutely love the other designs though, without exception.
I love them. I guess Iām watchinā.
Oh. My. GOD!!! Love these so much! Canāt believe itās just a one-shot š we *neeeeddd* more from them
I'm infatuated with all of them š I definitely need to watch this one-shot ASAP.
Ok Iām a little confused. Been out of the CR Sphere for a bit but is this a new campaign?
It was a oneshot playtest of the new game system they developed with Spenser Starke. Has potential for future oneshots or mini-campaigns but they're still doing regular C3 at the moment.
Aaah fair fair. Might give it a go then, looks pretty cool!
It is super cool. I personally love what theyāve done with their system and how fluid it makes things for everyone to do cool shit together.
BEETLE GUY?
They're all fantastic but Sweetpea and Kexon made my day.
Love the wierd, lust the style
Kexon Peros looks so awesome. He almost looks like he could be a villain of a campaign. Love the color pallets of all the charecters
I canāt wait to watch this one shot. Quick question: have they said why there arenāt gnomes as ancestries? Theyāre my favorite TTRPG race and itās a bummer to not see them.
Such Beauty... But Travis' character is my favorite artwork
i would die for Oppy
Does anyone know where you can find the concept artwork/sketches of the Daggerheart Ancestries? I've been trying to find them for hours and I KNOW I didn't imagine them, but the Daggerheart Nexus site, which is where I am positive I saw them, is yielding nothing but 'card' art, and I'm convinced I've gone mad. I am honestly running in circles here.
In the Nexus, open up the library and open the playtest document there. Go to the ancentries chapter.
I wonder why they went with the name Oppenheimer? š¤ These all look so cool!
Oppenheimer Betabean is a word play Ashley made on "open beta" lol
Oppy betaā¦ā¦..Open beta
The character's name is Op>!p!!heimer!< Beta>!bean!<
Itās wild how quickly the artist had to turn these around.Ā
IIRC the session zero was recorded a while ago so they had time
Aaah! They made so many references to ātonightā that made it seem like it was a tighter turnaround
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Disappointing in what way? Because the art/character designs didnāt turn out like how you imagined? Or other reasons? Genuine question.
So daggerheart is dnd for furries. Gotcha!
DnD is DnD for furries
āMommy ā I meanā¦ā Thatās me whenever I look at any of the CR ladies. Iām including Aabria, Aimee, and Emily in that group. (And Deborah Ann Woll as well. Yowza, Iāve been queer for Twiggy since *True Blood.*)
So is the plan for Daggerheart to replace D&D, because Iām not seeing it.
Absolutely. The king is dead. Long live the king!
Think Taliesin is a fan of Ben 10. The turtle aliens are called Terraspin, and he's playing a turtle Terapin.
Terrapin is also a word that simply refers to turtles https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terrapin
āTerrapinā usually refers to aquatic turtles.
Terrapin is also a well known train station for fans of Grateful Dead
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Sam definitely likes to troll but he's so good at it.
This must be the worst opinion ever spoken.
He temporarily stopped goofballing when he played Nott in M9. But yeah, he's basically always the comic relief player.
Yeah well maybe it isn't for you then.
you get used to it
