Reposted by @heccboi2d.bsky.socialTom Bloom @orbitaldropkick.bsky.social · 30/06/2026like i think daggerheart would have been better served as a pure pbta/narrative game, the tactics stuff is like all the worst parts of 5e with none of the interesting parts of it because there is just absolutely nothing there to hook into, it is both too clunky and too light to do anything 41653
Reposted by @heccboi2d.bsky.socialTom Bloom @orbitaldropkick.bsky.social · 30/06/2026basically i think the point of tactics games is to present interesting little points of friction and tension via the limitations and rules, then let players figure out ways to break them, daggerheart does none of this and feels insanely flat 11831

It’s the hate and power without any functional governmental system or ideals. Fascism is just the same stuff, concentrated for maximum hate. 1121
Reposted by @heccboi2d.bsky.socialDr. Katya Vrtis @purplezebrav.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Finally, treating fascists as unique, inhuman monsters actually helps Right Wing ideology.

Your grandfather was right to make sure you understood the true risk of fascism, and its persistence, but showing a young child the unfiltered horrors of war is not effective pedagogy. It’s just traumatizing. 2111
Reposted by @heccboi2d.bsky.socialDr. Katya Vrtis @purplezebrav.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Art isn’t war, isn’t education in history, isn’t a “how to” for running a resistance unit, and isn’t an ideological argument for antifascism. Elements of these (and so much else) can appear in art, but it isn’t what art is or does. Attempts to combine them tend to be bad art and bad education. 2121
