Hearing my players go absolutely feral in the background while one of the NPCs professes his love is top 10 GM’ing experience. #daggerheart #dodoborne #ttrpg #actualplay

GM’ing a mystery is all about balancing the clues to be not drop dead obvious but also not so obtuse that it doesn’t connect to anything. Made especially difficult in a game where information can come from a dice roll. I’ve tried it a lot, and learned.. #ttrpg #actualplay #daggerheart #dodoborne

Shoutout to the Journey soundtrack. Absolute favorite background music as a GM. #ttrpg #daggerheart

As a GM, new characters in the story represent new perspectives and new portions of the story to reveal! Always great to do a little side thing! Also I’m attempting a mystery for this series. Let’s see how it goes! #daggerheart #dodoborne #actualplay

You know that minigame in Mario Party where the whole game is just two sides fighting each other, but then shenanigans keep happening? It’s like that. See you soon! #dodoborne #daggerheart #actualplay #ttrpg

Taking a break from things is both great but also terrible because I can’t remember what all I was doing when I left.

Incredible work by @chaoticbeautiful.bsky.social ! It was a huge finale for season 2 and I love seeing how all the characters are depicted. Chefs kiss!!🔥🔥🔥

Got a little experimental with this one, maybe a little TOO complex 😅. I just love any excuse to roll the players’ fear dice against them 😤😤 also enjoyed bringing back an old favorite NPC.

Sometimes as a #GM you go fully catatonic and can’t come up with a good name for something and the best you come up with is “Big Sword Robert.” This will haunt me forever. #dodoborne #daggerheart

Someone said I be drinking too many drinks at work and at first I was going to defend myself and then I saw my desk with new eyes. I have no retort.

Isaac Allen Burns @iaburns.bsky.social · 18/11/2025

Sometimes as a #GM you have secrets in the background that you expect to be revealed much later. And sometimes you have a golden opportunity to honor someone looking like an important NPC and let some secrets to light. It’s a good game! #daggerheart

Played a game of #daggerheart where someone said the word hatch and suddenly memories of Lost and “What’s in the hatch?” Came flooding back. Those numbers are burned into my brain

The Tag Team Roll wording in #Daggerheart is interesting because it says: "On a roll with Hope, all PCs involved gain a hope." Seems to leave it open for more than 2 people in a tag team? But the rest of the rule suggests only 2 people. Leaves it open for future mechanics maybe?

Isaac Allen Burns @iaburns.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

Played a home game of #daggerheart during a tournament arc. It was the finals, third fight, and I wanted to spice it up. Pulled up a flaming totally-not-purple worm attack and both sides had to work together to take it down. Worked like a charm. Such a good system.

To all my “listen to everything” people looking for some new #music. Check out Jantra. Rural Sudanese electronic dance is maybe the best way to describe it. Hella good.

Isaac Allen Burns @iaburns.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

Fun fact about me as a #ttrpg GM: my nose doesn’t work all that well, so I tend to forget odors in my scene descriptions. So when a player describes a smell in a scene I’m always floored like “wow such good scene work”

Isaac Allen Burns @iaburns.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

Nothing reminds me of the fact I have asthma more than listening to the heaving inhales I make during the edit of #dodoborne. It’s like I’m coming up for air from a dive evrerytime

Voices are so hard as a GM! But sometimes a strong swing is what you have to go for lol. Also we’re really getting some of the campaign frame characters in the mix now!… kind of. Some recognizable names at least! #daggerheart #dodoborne

Isaac Allen Burns @iaburns.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

I put all my d12s in a bag when I GM’ed #daggerheart for Gencon in case people needed extra. Now I can’t find that bag anywhere… so I’m d12-less. Most important dice of that game! Guess I gotta get more!

My partner is well read on Austen and was happy to be my subject matter expert. We performed research by rewatching season 2 of Bridgerton multiple times. Kate and Anthony are for sure the best couple in the show (though I do love the Duke of Hastings)! #dodoborne #daggerheart

Isaac Allen Burns @iaburns.bsky.social · 23/09/2025

Now I really want to run a full period drama campaign with #daggerheart. Combat is just witty barbs sent towards each other to establish social dominance. The statblocks can support it!

You can really tell what the people around me were like in middle school haha. Fun to get to play a lil brat and argue with my players like a rude teen. #daggerheart

Isaac Allen Burns @iaburns.bsky.social · 26/08/2025

So pleased with this combat. Having the players set the scene with me made for a much more dynamic combat and threw details I hadn’t even considered. Felt more #daggerheart that way. Also Crank getting the wand away immediately upended any plans I had beforehand! A fine move.

The energy at the end of this ep was so good, we were all so amped afterwards. Are the mechanics I introduce going to bite me later? Maybe… but that’s the fun of #daggerheart! Also turns out making music is really hard, but really satisfying when it turns out like you envisioned! #dodoborne

Post convention work blues got me being so productive on all the wrong things. All I can think about is #daggerheart and #heroscape. Gotta do more cons

Isaac Allen Burns @iaburns.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

People seemed really excited for #daggerheart! Most people at my #Gencon tables were first timers, and really liked the game. The dodos in paradise will be back in 2026 for sure!

Day 1 of #Gencon!! I’ll be running a game of #Daggerheart starting at 10a at the Hilton! It’s currently sold out but I’ll be there early so come by and say hello! #dodoborne

Isaac Allen Burns @iaburns.bsky.social · 29/07/2025

We waited for the full #daggerheart release to begin recording S2 so I had MONTHS to write a memo. A fun exercise for worldbuilding that I then got to strong arm my players to interact with tee hee. Also got to cut my teeth trying to make some music. Fun episode to edit!

Isaac Allen Burns @iaburns.bsky.social · 27/07/2025

Going to #Gencon soon and it’s my first time going to Indianapolis. Anyone got some good food recommendations? Are there any good coffee shops near the venue?

Isaac Allen Burns @iaburns.bsky.social · 15/07/2025

Listen y’all I had like 3-4 months to plan out this encounter while we waited for full release. You give a GM enough time and they’ll come up with all kinds of things! #daggerheart

Isaac Allen Burns @iaburns.bsky.social · 12/07/2025

Should I be concerned? Did I interrupt something? #caturday

Isaac Allen Burns @iaburns.bsky.social · 09/07/2025

I've been thinking about how rolling pairs in #daggerheart are always a crit success, rather than like in #DeltaGreen where pairs above the thresholds are crit fails. Designed emphasis on player's success. Conversely, I think it speaks to how severe a failure with fear can be taken.

390

Isaac Allen Burns @iaburns.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

#daggerheart is good at calibrating a GMs propensity for rolls. I can’t just ask for a “spot hidden” or “perception” roll for the sole purpose of giving myself a few seconds to think about what comes next, and then saying it regardless of what they rolled lol. Gotta reign it in now haha
