The Path

🔗 View the campaign site on GitHub Pages

A custom Daggerheart RPG campaign frame set in a mist-shrouded world, where players traverse shifting, interconnected locations known as "The Path."

The Campaign — the-path-campaign/

All campaign content lives here, organized by kind:

• locations/ — Path locations: surface, underground, the Starfall City sub-area, special locations, and the Village in the Mist hub
• adversaries/ — Custom adversaries by type (mist, beasts, siege, crystal-plague, spider-queen, the-croak, antagonists)
• lore/ — Factions (one folder per faction, with NPCs) and mist-islands/Starfall lore
• mechanics/ — Path generation, crafting & trading, village siege, Starfall City, and other core rules
• items/ — Equipment and item catalogs
• campaign/ — Active session/campaign tracking (e.g. Moonfield)
• example-path/ — A reusable library of example Path configurations

See CLAUDE.md for the full directory breakdown and content-creation conventions.

The Webapp — path-webapp/

A static site for browsing all campaign content — locations, adversaries, factions, items, path mechanics. This is what's deployed to the GitHub Pages link above.

Run it locally:

cd path-webapp
python -m http.server 8000

Then open http://localhost:8000. See path-webapp/README.md for other server options and troubleshooting.

Pushes to main auto-deploy path-webapp/ (plus the-path-campaign/ and the root index.html) to GitHub Pages via .github/workflows/deploy.yml.

Content-Creation Commands

For use with Claude Code in this repo — slash commands in .claude/commands/ walk through creating new content collaboratively:

• /create-location, /create-npc, /create-faction, /create-adversary, /create-item, /create-path, /create-chime

.claude/agents/ also has 10 specialized agents (GM support, adversary building, combat mechanics, equipment, homebrew design, rules lookup, and more) for deeper help on specific systems.
