A Tier 1 Scenario for Daggerheart
The night is alive with laughter, music, and glittering masks. Guests from across the kingdom gather for an evening of elegance and gossip, unaware that something far darker moves among them. When the first hints of blood are discovered, the celebration takes a deadly turn.
In Masquerade Macabre, the players must uncover which guests have fallen under a vampire’s sway before the entire party unravels. Their choices determine whether the night ends in calm whispers or chaos and screams.
This scenario can be played as a one-shot or dropped into an ongoing campaign. It’s built for tension and quick thinking wrapped in velvet and candlelight.
Included are three brand new additions to Daggerheart in this scenario:
- The Almanac: a collection of numbered entries for the GM which expand upon certain NPCs, locations, or events
- Roleplaying Challenges: like environments, but for roleplaying scenes where the PCs can achieve specific goals by roleplaying with rewards and outcomes that follow the fiction
- Scenario Resolution: a guided frame for resolving the scenario based off of how well the PCs did, including loot!
Tone and Feel: Gothic, tense, social, and dramatic
Themes: Secrets and masks
