A Foundry VTT module that adapts the Daggerheart system for the sci-fi fan supplement The New Unknown (TNU) — Playtests 1 "Heart", 2 "Mind" and 3 "Fist".

It does not replace Daggerheart. It sits on top of it and adds the TNU content: classes, ancestries, communities, domains, equipment, adversaries, ships, new conditions and the TNU terminology.

The New Unknown is made by its own authors, not by this module. To get the game itself and support it:

• The New Unknown on Kickstarter
• The New Unknown playtest on Heart of Daggers

• Foundry VTT v14
• The Daggerheart game system, version 2.10.12 or later. The module relies on internal structures of the system, so it is tested against that version.
• Recommended: Distances, to see combat ranges on the canvas.

In Foundry, go to Add-on Modules → Install Module and paste this manifest URL:

https://github.com/brunocalado/daggerheart-tnu/releases/latest/download/module.json

Then open your Daggerheart world, go to Settings → Manage Modules, enable The New Unknown (Daggerheart) and reload when prompted.

Everything lives under The New Unknown in the Compendium tab, laid out like the system's own packs:

• Character Options — 10 classes (Architect, Broken, Cheat, Hollow, Monolith, Primus, Protean, Resonant, Stray, Vector) with their subclasses, ancestries, communities and domain cards.
• Items — weapons, armor, consumables, and gear & implants.
• Ships — the Ankaa and Taurus ships, plus ship modules and ship domain cards.
• Adversaries, the TNU Gear and TNU Expendables rarity tables, and journals with the TNU rules, the ship rules, the classes & domains overview and the campaign frames (INSOMNIUM, STARHOPPING, X//666: HELLRAVE).

The first time the GM loads the world with the module enabled, the Daggerheart SRD is hidden from the system's Compendium Browser — which is what the character creator uses to pick ancestries, communities, classes, subclasses, domain cards and equipment. Players only see TNU (and your world's) content.

To bring the SRD back, open the Compendium Browser as GM, click Browser Settings and re-enable the Daggerheart source. The module won't hide it again.

A Ship actor type with its own sheet, played jointly by the crew:

• Hit Points, Stress, Hope and Armor Slots tracks, Evasion, Proficiency and damage thresholds — adversaries attack and damage a ship like any other target.
• Armor Slots on a hit: when damage would mark Hit Points and the ship has an unmarked Armor Slot, whoever applies the damage is asked whether to mark one to reduce the severity by one.
• Modules and ship domain cards: crew members are placed in modules and use their features with their own Power Trait, paying costs from the ship's resources. A cost printed "on a success" is charged only when the roll succeeds, and a module's ATK is added to its attack rolls.
• Spaceship Experiences that spend ship Hope.
• Tier-up applied automatically: raising the level to 2, 5 or 8 adds that tier's Armor Slot and threshold raises, and each option the crew checks (two per tier) adds its bonus to the sheet.
• Stress overflow: Stress past the last slot — from a feature or from damage — deactivates a module instead of marking a Hit Point; the GM picks which one from a chat card. Resting in the Cabins reactivates every module and recovers the once-per-rest features.
• A "beyond repair" card for the GM when every Hit Point is marked or every module is down.

See the Ships journal for the rules and how the sheet runs them.

The domain dropdown on Domain Card items lists the TNU planetary domains:

Mind: Mercury · Saturn · Uranus
Heart: Pluto · Venus · Terra
Fist: Neptune · Jupiter · Mars
Outside the spheres: Nibiru

All TNU weapon and armor features (keywords) are added to the feature picker on weapon and armor items — 32 weapon keywords (Precise, Rupture, Lethal, Tether, Shockwave, …) and 10 armor keywords (Adaptive, Phantom, Regrowth, Deflect, …). They show the keyword and its rules text; apply the effect at the table.

The TNU conditions appear in the token status menu:

Dazed · Distracted · Weakened · Stunned · Shrouded · Tormented · Ignited · Panicked · Frenzied · Ordered · Infested · Slowed · Terrified · Confused · Saturated

• Dazed — attack rolls get -2 automatically.
• Distracted — Evasion drops by 2 automatically. On an adversary, lower its Difficulty by 2 yourself.
• Weakened and Confused add a disadvantage reminder to the roll dialog.
• The rest are markers: apply their effect at the table.

Vulnerable, Hidden, and Restrained already come with Daggerheart, so they are not duplicated here.

Only the labels change; the mechanics are identical:

The currency is renamed to Credits. The Handfuls, Bags and Chests tiers stay on — TNU prices a new ship at "a chest full of credits". Change it back any time under Settings → Daggerheart → Homebrew.

• What the module writes to your world. Domains, keywords, conditions and labels are added in memory each time the world loads, and disappear when the module is disabled. Two settings are written once by the GM: the currency rename and the hidden SRD in the Compendium Browser. Both can be undone in the system's own settings.
• Icons are placeholders. Domains reuse Daggerheart's domain art and conditions use icons from Foundry's built-in library.
• Not automated: Charges, Echo and the other advanced TNU systems are described in the TNU Rules journal and run at the table.
