Did I miss anything while I was taking a Long Rest? I wrote about using pretzels, animal crackers, etc. on a battle map. Now, when a PC delivers the killing blow, you too can ask (cracker in hand): "How do you want to eat this?" blog.delvewithhope.com/a-real-beast... #daggerheart #ttrpg

Nice setup! Is that the sablewood messengers? Did your players stick to the guardrails, or did anything wild happen? Props again on stepping up to run! I hope it was worth pushing yourself to do it

“Does [Tusk Love] subvert any tropes in orc romance?” There’s nothing quite like book club to bring serious discussion questions to niche genre fiction Also it was surprisingly hard to explain how Tusk Love came to be to non-critters

I ran the part 1 of the Draw Steel Delian tomb start here adventure last And it is very, VERY good at what it is (tactical heroic fantasy) I haven’t finished reading the rules or played much noncombat, so there’s a lot more here to do I gotta up my tactics though if I want to keep running it

In daggerheart today, one of my players got 3 crits in a row to: 1. Haggle 2. Charm a grandma 3. Drink some nasty tea He then failed rolls to 1. Swing over quicksand 2. Get out of the quicksand I think that’s instant karma? True skill is rolling well when it matters

1. Use card binder pages for character cards 2. I run too quickly 3. Stand up and act 4. Start fights within Far range 5. Stick to small tables (for now) Having met so many incredible Daggerheart community members, I'm stoked to see what we can build together!

I actually didn’t offer this morning because my grubby GM fingers were all over them …but now that you mention it, tomorrow, I’ll offer them a fresh cracker from the bag and ask “how do you want to eat this?”

The Darrington Press team gets credit for the laminated handouts, but yes, eating was definitely part of the experience! Expend a token by eating it. Damage a monster by physically breaking off pieces. Definitely keeping this gimmick in my back pocket

I ran a Daggerheart adventure this morning at Gen Con but didn’t bring any minis or terrain with me. Pretzel sticks for terrain, animal crackers for monsters, chocolate candy for tokens, and play dough PCs are pretty much the same, right?
