There is truly nothing wrong with disagreeing on matters of taste. In fact, peacefully disagreeing on matters of taste is a vital skill in the TTRPG space, one lots of people haven't cultivated.

Final spotlight of a Daggerheart frame-location pair from Hope Springs Eternal: Poisoned Roots proposes an intense, claustrophobic, political, and personal campaign where beauty and rot coexist. Travel to the Gardens for a campaign where combat and party-based adventuring will not be the focus.

Last night I ran the Blackwater Creek scenario in #callofcthulhu, and it was a spooky good time! I remade the map, removing all of the location names so that my players could write them in as they explored the area. How do people feel about handouts in their games? #ttrpg #tabletopsky

4th spotlight: Gutterpunk Rhapsody + The Tower! This Daggerheart frame and location pair goes all-out! You are a gang of punks trying to survive this polluted alchemical nightmare. From the Stygian Depths to the luxurious Alabaster, from the crowded Guts to the Junker's Wilds, there will be mayhem!

Today's spotlight is The Ever Rime + Fairreach. In a land doomed to an eternal winter, Shepherds must guide Wonderbeasts to vents of thermal magic. A Daggerheart frame with mechanics focused on community building and on the cold's embrace. A location focused on survival, wonder and mystery.

I love making weird sicko games with strange, bespoke mechanics. But let’s be fucking real, most ttrpg players and purchasers don’t. That makes a material impact on my ability to navigate the real capitalist hellscape we’re in. I hate it, but my ‘weird’ games don’t do well. ‘Safe’ stuff does.

I'm thrilled to present #TheSixDomains cover art - the Daggerheart Setting sourcebook I began work on last December. @selaaaaaa.bsky.social has done a wonderful job on it, and I look forward hopefully to future collaborations with her! One step closer to reality! Game absolutely, positively On! 🧙‍♂️
A wonderful piece of art depicting a mountainous landscape, an island city in the distance, airships in the air, a trio of adventurers, a bard, and a gryphon mounted by an armored knight bearing a standard. Title across the top reads: The Six Domains, with the Daggerheart Compatible legend at bottom right. Again, by deepest thanks!
