Asteria is the *only* GM running #daggerheart at #paxunplugged. We think she's pretty cool, but all 3 of her games are booked. How can she help YOU join her ranks? Let's sling some Fear in Philly!

Our cat got up to do her usual "run around screaming while we're asleep" and she was... confused.

Klein and Schneider just put aside their differences to play catch, I guess it's contagious.

Just discovered the sublime podcast actual play Queen of Daggers, Heart of Fire from @hagdealgaming.bsky.social and I’m enjoying every episode so far. They’ve got a companion podcast called Duality Bites. If you’re into Daggerheart like I am, it’s awesome to find quality 3rd party podcast support.

The Poets at last find themselves in a fight they can't escape. What will they learrn about themselves in this trial by chaotic fire? Will motes of Madness herself change their fates?

We realized the second half of last night's chat episode wasn't spoiler-y, so here it is on its own for those truly CRAVING some Duality Bites!

Jay Ben and Asteria talk about all the pre-campaign work (and general years of gaming together) that laid the groundwork for their dramatic improv around Lemma's backstory. NB: Lots of spoilers since we talk about the intense emotional scenes from the most recent QoD episodes!

"Hey GM how do you come up with all those NPCs?"

Hag Deal Gaming @hagdealgaming.bsky.social · Sep 16

Dearest Listeners, this one's special. Huge revelations, wrenching vulnerability, flirty arm wrestling...a lot can happen at a Shadowjack wake.

The halfway point of the season, and it cracks the storytelling open in a way we never could have planned.

Nights falls on the Shadowjack camp.
