I've seen a few skull designs for fear trackers, but it's a bit too goth for me. :-p I eventually intend to buy this Fear tracker from WoodworksGB, once I've got a bit of extra money. It looks like something my nan would have owned and I love it. :-p

When GMing Daggerheart, I normally use a deck of playing cards as my Fear, but my partner has taken the deck on holiday. 😅 Looking for alternatives, I've realised the power tokens and cauldron from the Villainous boardgame make a really good Fear pool.

Daggerheart has got me in the habit of listing touchstones for basically everything, as a way to remember the general vibe of a person or place. It's leading to some pretty wild combinations of media...

Ridgeborne Gnome, Middle aged, It/It’s
Touchstones: Gizmo (Aeturnum), Beetle (Aeturnum), Gizmo (Gremlins)

Phuce Aldertail (Destructive Magic)
Reborne Fungril, elderly, She/They
Touchstones: Agatha Harkness (Marvel), Dark Willow (Buffy)

Tarzo Reedcheeks (Protective Magic)
Hearthborne Halfling, middle aged, He/Him
Touchstones: Bilbo Baggins (LotR), Gandalf (LotR)

Rob Dustcrest (Healing Magic)
Freeborne Goblin, middle aged, It/It’s
Touchstones: Skyrick, Dende (DBZA)

A cleaned up version of the Journey to Horizon map, from the Hope & Fear expansion for Daggerheart. I didn't love the split down the middle or the text round the edges, so I've covered it up as well as I can. It's not perfect but it'll do. Should be suitable for UK A3 printing, but not tested yet.

I designed a Hot Springs encounter for Daggerheart! On a long journey through the mountains, the party come across a beautiful natural hot spring where they can rest and recover. But if they aren't careful, they may disrupt the harmony of this natural wonder and find themselves in trouble...

I've made a few random things for Daggerheart. The last one is a new ancestry made via Mixed Ancestries for my Journey to Horizon campaign, as I had two players that wanted to be mermaid sisters. :-p

Another little amendment to my Journey to Horizon campaign. I decided that the 'Locate Soul Echo' downtime move didn't have enough meat to it, so I've made it an action roll.

Update on my enhanced Journey to Horizon biome table for Daggerheart. Though you could use it for any TTRPG worldbuilding, I suppose. Just replace the rule for if you roll a 1 - maybe something like "Roll Twice and Combine Biomes"? Depending on how whimsical you're going with your environments.

I've reworked the Journey to Horizon biome rolltable slightly for my Daggerheart campaign. I found more examples of the existing biomes, and added an 'Otherworldly' biome for those more whimsical/horrifying adventures.

Spent most of today restructuring my Obsidian Vault for my Daggerheart campaign and now she almost looks presentable. ^.^

This is one for Journey to Horizon specifically, but in the campaign frame, the Fungril Network (my favourite Daggerheart ability) has been destroyed and regrows as time goes by. I didn't want to be handwave-y with the regrowth speed, so I came up with a mechanic by which to control the growth.

Inspired by @bardandraven.bsky.social 's recent 'Mawdrey' Social Adversary, I wanted to try making some plants for the multiple Nature's Tongue users on my table to talk to. I really love the concept of Social Adversaries in Daggerheart, but I feel like it's criminally underutilized so far.

Two of my players wanted to be mermaid sisters in my Journey to Horizon game, so we worked together to come up with a new ancestry for them - the Merfolk. Daggerheart's Mixed Ancestry mechanic is easily one of my favourite parts of the game. So many fun options and so easy to work it into the lore.

Merfolk

Mixed Ancestry: Tidekin/Faerie

Ancestry Features

Top Ability - Amphibious: You can breathe and move naturally underwater.
Bottom Ability - Wings: You can fly. While flying, you can mark a Stress after an adversary makes an attack against you to gain a +2 bonus to your Evasion against that attack.

Description
Merfolk were one of the most recent ancestries to emerge during the Age of Wonder. Deeply ingrained in terrana, they had the capacity to go further than any other ancestry beyond the edges of the map, into the Endless Ocean that surrounds Aurelia's creation. Where most ancestries with a strong link to terrana have long lifespans, the Merfolk instead possess bodies with incredible versatility - they are able to walk, fly, and swim with equal speed and grace. This trade off has left them with an average lifespan of just 80 years.

A little shorter than most species, Merfolk have an average height of 4-6ft, though their wing- and fin-span can make them appear much larger, especially when they come swooping down at their enemies. Having only recently begun to appear on the shores of Valloren at the time of the Magi Rebellion and Starfall, merfolk are a rarer sight than most ancestries, and it is entirely possible that Marrogate is the only sanctuary where they have been able to survive and thrive.

One of my players requested a specific pop culture reference as part of their backstory, and I had to oblige. 😅

A screenshot of the summary text for an NPC in my Daggerheart game.

### Rag Bag

**Ancestry:** Clank
**Community:** Loreborne
**Pronouns:** They/Them
**Construction Purpose:** Research

Prior to the construction of Hodge Podge, Rag Bag was very much 'the odd one' among the MLCs. About two hundred years ago, they commissioned an entirely new body to be created for them, which made their appearance and movement much more in line with a large, bulky Simiah than any other Clank in Marrogate. When asked why, Rag Bag said that they had read an excellent series of books that they found in the basement, featuring an 'Orangutan Librarian', and that Rag Bag wanted to "give cosplay a go". The other Clanks believed it to be a phase. It was not.

Rag Bag's distinct appearance has caused them to become the face of Marrogate Library, delighting both them and the Clanks who would prefer not to be disturbed by 'the meatbags'.

Here's a very simple environment I designed for my party's first foray through a Shadowblighted region of the map. It was only used for a very brief section, so I might design a better, more extensive version of it.

A Daggerheart environment stat block named 'Cursed Canyon'.
