Presenting – the cover for Bastion of Hope, my campaign frame of defiant fantasy, for use with the Daggerheart rules! Cover art by Shaun Ellis, cover design by Andrew Beauman

Pdf forthcoming in Spring 2026 on DTRPG, itch.io, and Heart of Daggers.

In Bastion of Hope, Dragons and Necromancers rule the world with sorcery and spite. They loom over bustling cities and use precarity to keep workers hungry and desperate. Now, after centuries, one nation has shattered the towers and slain their draconic overlord.

Inspired by works such as Mad Max: Fury Road, the world of Eberron, Final Fantasy VII, Dark Sun, Spire: the City Must Fall, and more.

The frame explores themes such as Authoritarianism, Community, Isolation vs. Interdependence, and Revolution.
