E6: Kirsch continues to surprise

Hasn't happened yet, but I've wanted to run Savage Tide for awhile now. I debated running it in 4e, and have been in the planning stage of running it in 5e since the 2024 books came out

I'd expect more material soon. Can't post the link right now, but the Daggerheart YouTube posted adapting Travis's Blood Hunter character to Daggerheart. Apparently, the video says the content is already in the Void, so I'm guessing it'll be up shortly

Most of the time I run published adventures, so I'll use a random encounter mechanic if one is included. When I'm not doing that ... I generally plan encounters, even in the spur of the moment

Void update! Now new toys for GMs. A bunch of adversaries and four new environments. The Heist one will see immediate use in my campaign, I expect. https://www.daggerheart.com/thevoid/

It'll be a process getting all the advice centralized, as Experiences are part FATE Aspect, freeform skills that DnD Next flirted with, 13th Age Backgrounds and One Unique Thing ... etc. And also Experiences need to be a little general and malleable as some campaign frames might have specific...

It is funny that the chromatic dragons have the same colors as MTG's color pie, but are close but not quite a match for the color pie thematically. Red Dragons, as imperious and plotters are more White or Blue, and White Dragons as more primal and hunters are more Green or Red. Black Dragons...

The thing the GM should add to the question is " to your character?", so maybe the Dwarven PC can say, they recognize that earthy beer smell that reminds them of home, or the Drow can complain that the lighting is too bright, etc.

Without Discovery, there is no Strange New Worlds. Literally, season 2 is pretty much a test bed for SNW, as we get Pike, Spock and Number One there. And after Voyager and Enterprise both being poor copies of TNG, I give Disco a lot of grace for trying new things. Was it completely successful...

Daggerheart One-Shot: All Hope rolls until combat.

It's why I like 13th Age's One Unique Thing, it's a fun prompt. Doesn't always work well, but it's a fun idea, why is your PC special?

I know it's not unique to Daggerheart, but the Connections part of Character Generation has been possibly my favourite part. Sitting back and just watching the players brainstorm and interact and taking notes of things they come up with is so cool.

As for putting a player on the spot ... same happens when it's their turn in initiative. But for world-building issues, here are two things I've tried: 1. Ask a question that doesn't have to be answered immediately. In my Daggerheart campaign, I asked the Wizard player to think up a nemesis...

TBH, expecting a sharp divide of Player and GM responsibilities on world-building seems short-sighted and ... maybe if people are so precious about their sandboxes they'd be better off writing their own fiction without others messing it up? Sorry, too aggressive. But building a character to...

School of Knowledge has better access to their Vault anyway, as they get the reduced Recall Cost feature. I'm fine with 5 Domain Cards in Loadout being a "Hard" limit. I don't mind having cards that can sidestep that slightly, like Notorious, but I like keeping options manageable. Although I...
