Dreadful news Dearest Listeners: due to another convention hex, this week's episode will be delayed a week. (Actually...due to a previous convention hex as well! It was partially recorded the day after PAX Unplugged 2025, and Asteria was so sick she had to cancel mid session.) 1/2

So glad we made the ENNIE Awards last night and saw Daggerheart win Gold for Best Game (amongst other wonderful wins and winners). We've loved DH from jump, and it's been a great joy getting to know the folks behind it and see such beautiful people...critting so hard. No other way to put it. More!

We just premiered S2 of our Daggerheart AP, which heavily features a homebrew magic item called the Thief's Compass. Oh hai! #greatminds

Hag Deal Gaming @hagdealgaming.bsky.social · 20/07/2026

Wow. We are...speechless. We hoped we'd get some Darrington noms, but we never, ever imagined we'd be one of four finalists for Best Series. Of the whole year! Thank you @critawards.bsky.social for taking the time to get to know us. Such esteemed company. Guess we should keep making this thing.

Hag Deal Gaming @hagdealgaming.bsky.social · 17/07/2026

For those wondering, the environment in our S2 premiere is homebrew--our first ever! But not the last you'll discover this season... #daggerheart #queenofdaggers #qodhof

More than a year after we started...Season 2. Now. And what a return! Party splits, narrative gaps, and time jumps, oh my. They're trusty devices—but in Lacuna, mechanics and meaning are never far apart, and the Caudal Ward ain't what it used to be... #daggerheart #ttrpg youtu.be/_vkMrN1qD84?...

A dear friend of mine is a community organizer/activist, and the Post just tried to do a hit piece on him for also being a mime. It comes off more as an advertisement, for him and for Broken Box Mime Theater. Thought my TTRPG crowd would enjoy this video of theirs! #bkbx shorturl.at/mfKAv

I've at times pointed out to folks online that they could just change the "but" at the beginning of their comment to an "and." Usually it's men replying to women. Usually, they agree. A lot of ppl don't realize how knee-jerk that reaction is--"correcting" instead of adding. Let's yes-and, folks!
