    Tell me about your experiences running games at a FLGS

    My LGS has a discord server to organize games. I DMed a Daggerheart one-shot, and have joined a DnD Rime of the Frostmaiden Campaign. The shop / boardgame cafe doesn't charge DMs for running games there. I also ran Light of Xaryxis for a comic book store, they asked for DMs to submit a...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    Yeah, Eberron as a setting can support a lot of campaign options, it's one of the things I find so compelling about it. To the point where campaign frames are a good way to focus and limit the scope of an actual Eberron campaign. Unfortunately, Keith does not own Eberron, so any official...

    Daggerheart Class Packs kickstarter is live.

    I wouldn't mind another set of cards, mainly the ancestries, but yeah, the price of the KS was a bit much.

    Cookin again

    It's Canadian Thanksgiving, and I took charge of the turkey this year. So while I didn't do an overnight brine, I did do a wet one for a few hours, following by spatchcocking the bird and rubbing it down with a paste of butter, roasted garlic, sage and rosemary (and salt and pepper). End product...

    Trailer Tron: Ares | Flynn Lives

    The thing is that the TRON Legacy soundtrack is an all-timer, to the point where I almost consider the movie second to the soundtrack. It's like an album length video. So no shade to TRON Ares, but that was never matchable. And ... I dunno, I didn't care for this. Gillian Anderson was wasted as...

    Which are you, The plan everything out GM, or the Ad lib?

    A lot of the time I'm running pre-published adventures, so ... I guess that's planning everything out, only I didn't do it? Obviously, I ad-lib and alter on the fly, but I'm running off of someone's planning session.

    Drakkenheim Daggerheart Campaign Guide Announced.

    Mike Underwood is credited as a designer for Drakkenheim, and that has done a lot to up my interest. He's a great follow, his Youtube channel is chock full of a lot of great advice on running and brewing for Daggerheart.

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    Yeah, I see why Campaign 4 had to go with 5e, there's just a need for more material for DMs, adversaries and environments in particular. Yes, reskinning is pretty easy, but I still want a bigger toolbox to draw from.

    Drakkenheim Daggerheart Campaign Guide Announced.

    I've heard good things about the 5e book. What I know about the setting is intriguing, but admittedly I wasn't looking for a Dark Fantasy setting at the time for 5e. I'll be interested in seeing how they adapt it to Daggerheart.

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    5 Sessions in, and Daggerheart continues to work. My players have said that they feel really powerful and cool, and things just seem to be working well at the table. We use poker chips for Hope, Fear, Stress, HP and Armor, so there's less writing and scratching off as damage is taken. I do feel...

    The Mighty Nein Animated Series to Debut on Prime Video on November 19th

    Looking forward to this. Not a Critter, haven't watched any of the Critical Role campaigns. But I really enjoyed Vox Machina, so I'm interested in seeing this.

    Unearthed Arcana New Psion update, Dungeons and Dragons Unearthed Arcana

    The Psion, as it is, has several advantages. First, a lot of Psionic powers are already spells, making a class that just uses them saves a lot of work both in design and also makes the class more expansion friendly, future spells can just be added to the Psion spell list. It also makes the class...

    Unearthed Arcana New Psion update, Dungeons and Dragons Unearthed Arcana

    Psion is gonna be a spellcaster. Not a fight worth fighting. My temptation is to houserule them to use spell points for 1st to 5th level spells, and use spell slots for 6th+ level spells. Given those design constraints... I don't mind this iteration. I think the earlier version had too many...

    Daggerheart Class Packs kickstarter is live.

    Even in the AMA, they admit that this isn't a typical Kickstarter, the product is more or less made. This more market research tied to a preorder. The desire is to produce a cheaper point of entry for players and the Kickstarter is more to gauge whether this would be a successful product line to...

    What are you reading in 2025?

    The series continues to surprise and move me. Book Five (The Butcher's Masquerade) is now complete, but it'll be a bit of a wait until the library sends me the next two. Which is good, because the ending of Five shook me.

    Daggerheart Class Packs kickstarter is live.

    The AMA, while scattered, offered a lot of insight into how the team perceives Daggerheart and how they are still feeling out how they intend to proceed. The main note is to expect more announcements coming at PAX.

    Costumes and Cosplay

    So, I've got invites to two Halloween parties this year, and while I'm normally not the biggest costume/cosplay guy (Or more that I not the best at planning these things and being thrifty/crafty in putting a look together), I've been putting serious thought into what I am going to do for them...
