Did I miss anything while I was taking a Long Rest? I wrote about using pretzels, animal crackers, etc. on a battle map. Now, when a PC delivers the killing blow, you too can ask (cracker in hand): "How do you want to eat this?" blog.delvewithhope.com/a-real-beast... #daggerheart #ttrpg

That was an absolute blast. I am dead tired, but had a great time. Not much of an opportunity for pictures, but I did get one for the first group. I hope my voice holds out for the game tomorrow

“Does [Tusk Love] subvert any tropes in orc romance?” There’s nothing quite like book club to bring serious discussion questions to niche genre fiction Also it was surprisingly hard to explain how Tusk Love came to be to non-critters

I ran the part 1 of the Draw Steel Delian tomb start here adventure last And it is very, VERY good at what it is (tactical heroic fantasy) I haven’t finished reading the rules or played much noncombat, so there’s a lot more here to do I gotta up my tactics though if I want to keep running it

In daggerheart today, one of my players got 3 crits in a row to: 1. Haggle 2. Charm a grandma 3. Drink some nasty tea He then failed rolls to 1. Swing over quicksand 2. Get out of the quicksand I think that’s instant karma? True skill is rolling well when it matters

I really like @delvewithhope.com's idea of allowing players to make their own mini out of play dough when running at a con, but I think I'm going to 3d print them like I do for my hone game.

I'm a bit late, but I did finish watching Critical Role play Daggerheart in Age of Umbra! I have thoughts blog.delvewithhope.com/my-reactions... 1. Boy I'm not used to long-form actual play 2. PC dying in a CR mini-series works, but in a campaign? 3. Countdowns are great 4. I love small parties

Having run five sessions of Daggerheart at Gen Con, I have several blog posts queued up about my takeaways. First up is a listicle (confirmed easiest writing structure) about what I learned as a GM from Gen Con both watching other GMs and for myself blog.delvewithhope.com/5-gm-things-...

1. Use card binder pages for character cards 2. I run too quickly 3. Stand up and act 4. Start fights within Far range 5. Stick to small tables (for now) Having met so many incredible Daggerheart community members, I'm stoked to see what we can build together!

I just renewed the domain delvewithhope.com . I had only registered it for a year since I wasn't sure if I was really committed. But here we are! I optimistically renewed the domain for another 5 years and hope to enjoy this Daggerheart journey! P.S. blog post coming soon

I ran a Daggerheart adventure this morning at Gen Con but didn’t bring any minis or terrain with me. Pretzel sticks for terrain, animal crackers for monsters, chocolate candy for tokens, and play dough PCs are pretty much the same, right?

In a slight diversion, here were my takeaways from running the My Little Pony Tales of Equestria TTRPG for my nibling. My general recommendation? Play TTRPGs on road trips. It seriously is the best way to pass the time blog.delvewithhope.com/running-tale...

I'm not saying you're rolling your dice wrong, but I'm also not not saying you could create more suspense rolling differently in #ttrpg Read all about it at blog.delvewithhope.com/ways-to-role... 1. Narrate up to the moment of uncertainty 2. Calculate the needed dice roll first

Also brownie points to anyone who can guess where I got the dice in the featured image. I happen to be away from my dice bag at the moment but found suitable substitutes Because images improve SEO or something.
