It's out! Check out GRAVEHEART, our gonzo grimdark Sci-Fantasy setting for Daggerheart, where you play as Reapers hunting rogue souls in the war-torn Underworld of the distant far future. If you like Thundarr, Necromunda, Hades, and Dark Souls, with a touch of Dead Like Me, this one is for you!

The Naturolls are going to #PaxU and we wanna see YOU there! We get it, though. Everything's expensive right now, so we teamed up with Pax to give out FIVE badges so you can see us there and get all the #Daggerheart goodies we'll be looking for, too. Enter now! gleam.io/eJy4E/pax-un...

Wow you guys! We just hit 50 sales for Curator's Curiosities, and the book hasn't even been out for a week yet! 🔥 To celebrate, we'll give out 10 more community copies! If those run out, the Fear Fest sale is still going until the end of the month, so you can grab a copy at a lower price ❤️‍🔥

As of today, Fear Me is in the digital hands of 400 people!!! Just put out another 25 community copies to celebrate, grab them before they're gone! heartofdaggers.com/products/fea...

I'm gearing up to move into a new apartment, and since furniture is expensive I figured I'd have a sale! Grab all 142 of my #D&D5e adventures for just $60! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5... #ttrpg #rpg #indiedev #wotc #gaming

Creating tier 4 material for use with the Daggerheart rules is so much fun because I get to write shit like "If the PCs cannot make enough death moves, reality itself dissolves around them and the campaign ends."

This is such a fantastic photo: "The Witches' Tea Party" but I want to use it to explain the origin of the tall, pointy witches hat. The real story of this photo: These are residents at the Hospital of the Holy & Undivided Trinity: an almshouse in Castle Rising, Norfolk, England established 1610.

This is why I say I am a descriptor not a predictor. Didn’t see this coming. And right how as a descriptor I do not have enough caffeine to process. Live at the time of my posting.

New review (?) day! A challenge for myself: can I learn Orbital Blues by only playing its solo supplement The Wanderer by @moreblueberries.bsky.social A journaling game reflecting on the life and troubles of a space cowboy, building a playlist before adding a final swansong. youtu.be/vmMKcs2RRVE

Hey all! I just released the Fear Me Framework, a FREE public-facing guide to creating your own Villains for #Daggerheart. The Fear Me Framework offers detailed guidance for creators to make their own Villains, using the structure presented in Fear Me. heartofdaggers.com/products/fea...

Atlas of Adventure brings you 30 new environments for use with the Daggerheart rules. Strengthen your scenes with complementary environment moves or build out an entire session with the Masquerade Ball or Time Loop! 30% off for a limited time during FEAR FEST: heartofdaggers.com/products/atl...

James Introcaso on Crows, Draw Steel, and MCDM! Live from Gamehole Con! The incredible James Introcaso discusses 6 years at MCDM, the creation of #DrawSteel and #CrowsRPG, and industry insights. Listen or watch: masteringdungeons.podbean.com www.youtube.com/watch?v=KFJk... #DnD #TTRPG

Will be on bright and early tomorrow with @azuthebard.bsky.social of @bardandraven.bsky.social to speak about Folio of Frights! So much EYE-POPPING Adversaries in this one. Tune in and watch us talk about how this monster came together! heartofdaggers.com/products/fol... #AllHailTheRaven!

If you were thinking "shit, I wish I'd been at Gen Con to get Courts & Shadow", @koboldpress.com has a very limited supply of softcovers available online! Very proud of this campaign frame and I hope you check it out. #Daggerheart

Just got a big dose of love from the gang over at @bladebound.bsky.social. If you haven't checked them out yet, they're a great group who's running a ton of top notch DH games on Startplaying, and doing great vids about Daggerheart in general. Their Sage Touched series goes mighty deep on topics!

This totally isn't true (it is)

Tales of Collide is a delight. Give 'em a listen.

Wow, GRAVEHEART just hit Ruby (100+) sales on Heart of Daggers in less than a week! As thanks to all the support, we're opening up another batch of 25 free Community Copies for folks who are stressed for funds. Cheers! heartofdaggers.com/products/gra...

Remnants of the Coast by @manyworldstavern.bsky.social is now up on Heart of Daggers! I really like the caravan rules in this one, and think it would combine well with Journey to Horizon or with @possibleworlds.bsky.social's The Details of Our Escape. heartofdaggers.com/products/rem...

I am getting the DMing bug again. I am hoping to run a one shot for my husband and a friend in Daggerheart. Today drew this cover image for the game :D.

Really wished more people shared this with their friends, esp bookish friends who don’t use Bluesky. Stop looking for rando artists on Threads then screaming you got scammed. We already vetted a bunch of real artists for you to choose from.

If you're looking to understand adversaries in #Daggerheart, build more interesting encounters and make informed choices for your game, you really can't do better than this document. Absolute legend.

Tomorrow's the day!! I feel so nervous about the first book ever being published 😅

Goddamn. It's real bleak when you see all the games industry layoffs listed out layoffs.asgc.gg

Shout out to all my fellow indie #ttrpg publisher friends, and independent artist and writer and musician friends, et al. You've all, individually, made roughly $80 billion more† than Anthropic so far this year. Starting to think we might be the future. † ±0.001% margin of error.

SURPRISE! We're giving away Folk & Fear Volume 1 as a thank you to the @heartofdaggers.bsky.social and #Daggerheart communities. We've been gifted time and energy from so many great designers this year, and we want to give something back to you! Please enjoy Folk & Fear! #HoDFearFest2026

That Chris hasn’t sold double this since Hope and Fear came out is baffling. This is probably the best third party product for horror adversaries from the man who wrote the book that literally every other third party designer is using.

Here's a teaser for my Daggerheart compatible supplement coming out on 10/28! Armada, the Hungry Vessel. A colossus that's also a ghost's pirate ship/kraken. With fantastic art by @mayelia.bsky.social of course!

I published a full-fledged adventure arc for @daggerheartrpg.bsky.social #Daggerheart! Check out the epic Dire Goose monster hunt, filled with beautiful human-made art, a plethora of items, new environments, and tons of illustrated adversaries to threaten your party!

Lots of intriguing results in this year's GM Survey: www.daggerheartdispatch.com/daggerheart-... #daggerheart #ttrpg

Only 5 away from GRAVEHEART going Sapphire on Heart of Daggers! Not bad for only a few days after launch, thanks everyone. <3 We'll add another batch of Community Copies as soon as it hits Sapphire, as thanks for all the support! heartofdaggers.com/products/gra...

This week I'm working on Shine Your Last, a space fantasy campaign frame with touchstones like She-Ra and the Princesses of Power, One Piece, and Flash Gordon. Funded as part of Hope Dies Last at ttrpg.fund/hdl youtube.com/shorts/9pz_S...

And just wait til you open them up …

Just hit 100 copies of the Gothic Horror Toolbox for #daggerheart on HoD! In honor of that goal, I've put 10 community copies out there! If I can get to 150 copies in October, I'll add additional adversaries to the supplement based on the new Belmont's Curse heartofdaggers.com/products/the...

The Red Wick Manor is live! Happy Fear Fest. A Tier 1 Social Encounter, and a Tier 2 Dungeon with 2-24"x 20" printer friendly maps. heartofdaggers.com/products/the...

It's Daggerheart Fear Fest Time!!! Don't let us spend a Fear on your wallet. Huge sales and we've added 20+ Community Copies across all our products! Fangs and Felons, Heartbeat Issues (Gnolls, Dinos, Bugs, Pirates), and Fateweaver's Guide to the Realms Beyond! heartofdaggers.com/author/ettin...

Join @bjeanius.bsky.social and I in the chat this Wednesday as we watch ourselves nervously talk to @bardandraven.bsky.social about our first big #Daggerheart project! We've been so excited to release this for #HoDFearFest2026, and the time is finally almost here!

So worth it! Congrats!

Election officials in Washington state are urging voters to casts ballots as soon as they are able ahead of the Nov. 3 election.

With the Hope Dies Last campaign completed, my life gets to slow down a bit. But the streams continue! This Wednesday, we'll be looking at FEAR ME by @jaybird.games, presenting a new framework for villains to use with the Daggerheart rules. 2pm EDT on Wed the 21st at twitch.tv/turbotango

Let's see what new shenanigans we can get up to on this fine October morning. Cracking into new layout work for our next project, which will be a bit more crafty than anything we've done before.

We are live in moments!

My first designer credits and my not the first, not the last THANK YOU to Carlos, Mike, @bardandraven.bsky.social and @heartofdaggers.bsky.social

Trying to keep up with the @heartofdaggers.bsky.social Daggerheart Fear Fest - 😂 😭 😂
