Saw this on @masteringdnd.bsky.social and knew it was immediately something I would be into, I have my own plans for something like this specifically for the Verve 👀

I've never thought of doing it with safety tools!

If I include rules for safety tools in the Verve it will definitely use this.

Getting back into revealing the combat classes for the Verve 👀

The Verve @thevervettrpg.bsky.social · Jul 14

I'm away from home for work tomorrow this week so the video I had hoped to come out this week will be next week.

I've got so many video scripts written the bottleneck is always editing.

The Verve @thevervettrpg.bsky.social · Jul 2

New video just came out but it's a re-upload with some fixed audio.

Been a task on my to-do list for a while.

The Verve @thevervettrpg.bsky.social · Jul 1
