Hey so, can we make "dropping sheeran" slang for 'pulling together for a greater cause'? As in "alright, folks, time to drop sheeran. There's a lot of people to feed, and we all need to work hard to make it happen." #neologism #edsheeran #freepalestine

And that's the Daggerheart Bundle of Holding done. Did I spend the last three weeks obsessively refreshing the sales page? Am I happy with the outcome? Do I want to do more, more, more? Yes, yes, and yes. @mikerunderwood.bsky.social; @carloscisco.bsky.social ... do you guys wanna collab sometime?

Really honestly stoked at how well the Daggerheart Bundle of Holding's been going. I know it's not because of me, but being amongst some big names has been very encouraging. I am seriously considering trying to expand Terrastorm to a full supplement. Just gotta figure out how that'll work ...

Well, it's official: I've just made the most money I've ever made from my writing - and the Bundle of Holding's barely even a third of the way done! As in, if my math is correct (gotta love exchange rates), then I've actually earnt more than the living wage this week.

So. GameDev ... problem, I guess. New Zealand is very geographically isolated. I'm currently making some tactile (card/board/dice) games that I hope to release sometime. How do I grab the international audience without crippling us both with international fees?

Finally - fiiiinally - got my Daggerheart goods uploaded to hearofdaggers.com. Did I also mention I'm working on a card racer game? Not strictly Daggerheart related, but the Rescueheart supplement I'm planning *after* that definitely is.

@heartofdaggers.bsky.social, I have an incredibly esoteric request: Is there a way you can think of to connect writers with artists, where the writer doesn't have the upfront budget to contract the work - in a way that benefits the artist?

A question for all the other folks selling Daggerheart products through DriveThru: What's the advantage of joining in on a sale? I'm pretty small fry (okay, fine. VERY small fry) in the scheme of things, and I wonder what boon there is supposed to be in dropping my prices.

SeanMcCann @seanmccann.bsky.social · 13/01/2026
So. I mentioned awhile ago that I was thinking of hammering together some vehicle rules for #Daggerheart. I'm happy to report: the first draft is done. Now it's into the weeds I go, to rewrite and recalibrate and then ultimately fiddle with the layout.

SeanMcCann @seanmccann.bsky.social · 07/01/2026
Someone compared Daggerheart and Draw Steel on here awhile ago, and it got me thinking: How important is art to a TTRPG? I ask because my supplements so far have been very lite on art - the NZ$ does not lend itself to a good exchange rate, so I'm trying to keep costs down.

Critical Role expected Daggerheart to do well, but they didn't expect it to do 2500% more than their projections
Critical Role's Daggerheart printed what they thought were a year's worth of campaign books in 2025. They lasted two weeks

Testing the waters here, but who out there would like to see a Daggerheart supplement full of vehicle rules? I have a *very* loose outline at the moment, but very broadly I'm coming up with a way to make some interesting race rules and some way of making vehicle combat viable.

Now, who would've thought that the hardest part of writing my second Daggerheart campaign frame would be coming up with *thirty-one* social NPCs? I maaay have bitten off more than I can chew with this goal, folks. Time to recalibrate and trim the numbers back down to a manageable level.

Okay, this is bugging the heck out of me: a Latin word meaning something like hubbub. It can conjugate easily into a verb, and generally means the background noise of the populous. It's used in a piece of rhetoric somewhere as an advisory, as in "when this noise changes, be concerned". Any ideas?

The Glorious Work continues! @spenserstarke.bsky.social - keen on some armour rules to go with the gun mayhem? (Some much more significant tweaking here; I've tried to standardize the progression of armour. To make up for it, I've put in some cool perks much earlier than they'd turn up in core)

Inspired by someone on reddit, this is what I'm calling the "#daggerheart Moh Scale of GM Moves". Note that spotlighting an adversary (the Daggerheart equivalent of taking an NPC action) is only the fourth hardest move you can make.

SeanMcCann @seanmccann.bsky.social · 06/08/2025
Oh! For anyone that stumbles across this at some unknowable date in the far future: I GM'd my first game of #Daggerheart (and my second game ever) the other day. One session, four hours. Hard to say if I've got a good sense of the rules yet, but we all had fun so I'm calling that a victory.
