Cloud Empress & Alien Zoology. Cloud Empress is a group or solo ttrpg set in a nausicaä inspired world. Alien Zoology is a solo skirmish style game where you play as a zoological expedition trying to capture an alien creature you generate and kitbash, it also has rules for group play.

With the inevitable holiday scheduling chaos Im taking a break from my daggerheart campaigns till the new year. Gonna play some solo tabletop games instead, cloud empress & alien zoology have occupied my brain entirely. I wanna try to sculpt and kitbash some minis and terrain for solo play

Sorry you had to go through that, it's hard not to let it affect your excitement to gm especially if your putting alot of work and care into GMing for them. Sadly some players expect the GM to read their minds & cater to them even if they're not making their desires known, bad player etiquette

The modularity of 🗡️🫀 is one of it's most fun design elements, absolutely nothing stopping you from using a class's core and subclass mechanics and doing a simple domain swap if your gm is cool with it. Beast Bound Ranger with Blood & Bone, Winged Sentinel Seraph with Valor & Midnight, the combos r ♾️

Nikolae🗡️🫀 @2d12wfear.bsky.social · 23/11/2025
Figured out how to do domain swaps on demiplane for a similar reason, really loved the blood domain powers but didn't have a Blood Hunter concept i was excited about, so I tested out making a pact of the endless warlock with Blood & Dread domains instead of the raw Grace & Dread domains

🗡️🫀The Spooky little fae harpy vampire, Blood and Dread domain Endless pact Warlock i played in a Daggerheart oneshot. Playing a creepy little bird monster was fun, reanimated a dead giant captain with blood puppet and piloted him into battle sat on his head like a pigeon on a zombie mech suit .

Finally got around to getting demiplane nexus so I can share daggerheart content with folks that don't have the book yet and build characters with my online players. Fallen down the character creation rabbit hole now that I figured out how to do domain swaps for classes and edit weapon traits.

Busy daggerheart week for me, had an awesome session 0 for my Thursday campaign last night and running session 1 for my Friday campaign tonight, plus I'm playing in another oneshot on Monday as my favorite shroom fae renewal druid. Enjoying getting to play a ttrpg I enjoy as much 🗡️🫀 this regularly

Played another daggerheart oneshot tonight, this time as a stalwart guardian. First try at tier 3 play, alot of features to recall but a ton of fun. I usually don't play tanky martial heavy classes but unstoppable was incredibly clutch, when I did finally get dropped got a crit on risk it all 🗡️🫀

Got to play in another daggerheart oneshot as a player today, druids in 🗡️🫀daggerheart are so awesome. Was in the powerful beast form as a sabertoothed bear when my little feral shroom druid and the seraph tag teamed and killed the Toad God the cultists had summoned.

Aiming to play to level 5 but open to cont. to level 10 if folks want. Every players first session will be free so you can feel out if it's the system and vibes for you, only 3 players needed to start each campaign, capped at 5. check out thursdays game only 2 left needed to start the adventure.

Each campaign party will adventure thru a shared world with their own unique twists and personal threads within the narrative where the choices you make in one campaign can impact the fae realm and story as a whole and ripple out to other campaigns as the fae realm tries to resist the unseelie curse

Seelie good aligned fae so having them be darker versions of they're old fae selves with adversary features that mirror what a fae of that ancestry or class might be able to do but tweaked to be more villain coded lends alot to the tone of the game.
010
Nikolae🗡️🫀 @2d12wfear.bsky.social · 01/10/2025
so Ive been converting player features from classes, ancestries & domains into variant adversary features that run on fear and stress so I can carry some of that same flavor over to my custom adversaries. Most adversaries they're fighting are the cursed unseelie forms of fae that were originally
110
Nikolae🗡️🫀 @2d12wfear.bsky.social · 01/10/2025
Was brewing adversaries for my fae realm campaign and I did notice mechanically npcs don't use pc ancestry or class features. within my setting since all the ancestries minus human are considered as fae I like the idea npcs could share some class and ancestry elements that the players can pick from
110
Nikolae🗡️🫀 @2d12wfear.bsky.social · 01/10/2025
Lol the parties made of up motley weirdos are always the best anyway. Now I want to play in an swrd&sorc 🗡️🫀 campaign where the party is just a bunch of weirdos like fogman sorcerer cultists, swamp creature guardians, and evil little goblin druids becoming epic sword & sorcery heroes
110
Nikolae🗡️🫀 @2d12wfear.bsky.social · 01/10/2025
But yours is a cooler mix of the system and the setting.class abilities as unique to sword&sorc PCs vs the basic human commoner and the heroes in your party and even villains they fight having otherworldly, magical or nonhuman elements to them makes so much sense for the genre.
110
Nikolae🗡️🫀 @2d12wfear.bsky.social · 01/10/2025
Awesome port, i dig how its open to playing the nonhuman flavors of the 🗡️ 🫀 ancestries only abit more swrd&sorc. I jumped to the "nonmagic ranger" trick of low fantasy rational behind the features that felt magical for a human centric feel to ancestry features and less whimsical high fantasy vibes.
110
Nikolae🗡️🫀 @2d12wfear.bsky.social · 01/10/2025
Would a fungril pc be human? Like some mossy mushroom munching wildman and the fungril network and death connection features are tied to some narrative aspect of consuming strange mystical mushrooms, instead of the standard daggerheart flavor of myconid like mushroom person?
110
Nikolae🗡️🫀 @2d12wfear.bsky.social · 01/10/2025
Or would a ribbit be human and their features express narratively as being a skilled swimmer with a whip trick like ability in place of the amphibious & long tongue flavor?
110
Nikolae🗡️🫀 @2d12wfear.bsky.social · 01/10/2025
Been meaning to ask, how did you mesh the high fantasy elements of daggerheart with the more human centric sword and sworcery style of hyborian age. Particularly ancestries, say if a player chose to play a Fungril or a ribbit as their ancestry, are they mushroom or frog type humanoids like in 🗡️🫀?
120
Nikolae🗡️🫀 @2d12wfear.bsky.social · 21/09/2025
Really want to play in another daggerheart oneshot and try out another class from the player side of the table. Anyone got a 🗡️ 🫀 game during the week they need an extra player for? I Gm my own campaigns Thurs & Fri aswell as work Saturday & Sunday so weekdays are mostly all I got free
030
Nikolae🗡️🫀 @2d12wfear.bsky.social · 19/09/2025
Not any official material, just a homebrew frame loosely inspired by the faewild and shadowfell, mixing in my favorite fae elements from films and mythology and taking whatever unique fae fantasy ideas my players give me and writing story hooks and threads based on each pc's themes and backstory

Depends on the details you like, I prefer detailing narrative elements like story threads and beats over the tedious crunch of trying to get a homebrew monster or encounter to feel balanced mechanically in 5e. For me atleast it's way easier to reskin + homebrew adversaries & design encounters in 🗡️🫀

Nikolae🗡️🫀 @2d12wfear.bsky.social · 14/09/2025
I'm GMing both daggerheart and 5e and 🗡️ 🫀 is way easier to prep for a session than dnd by miles.
