Daggerheart RPG Charity Game
Join Lockhart Gaming for an evening at Memento Magica!
Step into the glittering chaos of Bankburgh, where music fills the streets, nobles gather beneath crystal chandeliers, and a kingdom celebrates the first birthday of Princess Gerdathraeg. But when a legendary gift vanishes in a flash of magical darkness, the festival descends into suspicion, panic, and danger.
Join us for a Daggerheart charity adventure of mystery, magic, and high-society intrigue. Investigate among scheming dignitaries, race through crowded festival streets, and confront a deadly thief whose true form is far more monstrous than anyone imagined.
Come join our cast of seasoned players, as well as bid in an auction to be the fifth player at the table.
There will be chances throughout the game to donate to Pride of Caldwell County, by either helping or hindering the players!
