Nice setup! Is that the sablewood messengers?

Did your players stick to the guardrails, or did anything wild happen?

Props again on stepping up to run! I hope it was worth pushing yourself to do it

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 have the luxury of blogging for myself, so I just generally look at engagement across social media and take that as a win

So no idea

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

Gotta be careful of those mimic dice that look like d12s but are really d6s at heart

Delve With Hope @delvewithhope.com · 28d

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

These are PERFECT.

Well headless varian may disagree though

Kaptaran @kaptaran.bsky.social · 28d

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. My AMS is acting up a little, making multicolor more challenging than usual, but I think this Varian Soto...

I know Gen Con was awhile ago, but I'm trying to stretch the content out. Here how I setup the table. 2 big ideas:

1. Make name tent cards
2. Keep the rules short

Also play dough was a hit.

Hope this help others run Daggerheart con games!

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
