The Deadliest Spell, is a campaign setting and world for play which is Daggerheart Compatible. It is set in a film noir high magic world, where magic and technology mix. Blimps float overhead while runic and neon signs light up the night. New Yorick City is still recovering from the first world war only 25 years ago and now crews are rising up to replace older government structure. Where will your character fit in this changing world?

Coming in future updates – more cursed items, likely at least one more campaign start, more enemies. (And if there is any interest, rules on how to play WizBall.)
CONTENT WARNING: Be mindful that The Deadliest Spell supplement contains the following…
- A world history where there was a world war 25 years ago.
- References to a change in the leadership/government style moving towards Crews becoming the favored new method after an overall perception that previous Rulers and Government styles were the cause of the war.
- The adventure line “The Cage of Dust” features drug references, crime scene investigation, and atrocities against Ancient Fey creatures.
