Hobby cosplay portraits and pictures of my sleeping dog, mostly. I also GM a super fun #daggerheart game. My GM name should be “Matt Worser”.
Here is a fun look at my Daggerheart notes from our last session. Shout out to @slyflourish.com for the Lazy GM prep outline and to @legendkeeper.com for their excellent timeline feature!

The Unseen Seals: Act 2 - Session 20: The Festival of Heroes. Fresh off of robbing an adventure store on a morning set to honor them for saving the city, our heroes find themselves in the middle of a holiday, but, the mysterious Ashen Sparks are hot on their heels looking for the Ember of Ignisar!

Again, heavily inspired by @darringtonpress.bsky.social 's recent Daggerheart Adversaries and Environments v1.5 on the Void, here is my take on the Whisper Wraith.

When @darringtonpress.bsky.social released the Fellmounted Shadow King for Daggerheart, I loved the idea, but, wanted to put my own spin on it to make them truly terrifying and threatening. I also wanted to add a way for it to not have to be mounted... so... I did:
Enshrouded Shadow King - Tier 3 Leader

If you run #Daggerheart and you don't sub to @mikerunderwood.bsky.social Patreon, then... go sub, what are you waiting for?
There's just so much good useable stuff. I used 4 Environments in yesterday's session, & I immediately found a use for a Halloween Adversary he just released.
Thanks Mike!

Here it is! A T3 Environment that is generic enough to paste over (under?) any shop in your game that tries to answer the question: "How DO people steal stuff in a world full of magic?" and the answer is: "They don't."

My next Daggerheart project is a generic Environment template that you can throw over any mid to high end shop that gives you options to help dissuade your PCs from breaking the law and trying to commit grand larceny.

NO IDEA what what prompted this...

@thenaturolls.com - Inwas getting worried. My submission for Daggerheart WINSday is another T2 social adversary, the Information Broker- this is the shadowy figure that has- or can obtain- that crucial missing piece of your player’s puzzle… for a price… and not everything costs gold.

@thenaturolls.com - What do you do when a social encounter with a crime lord goes poorly?

I made a T3 Social that phase changes into a T3 Leader!

It’s no longer time to speak. It’s time to fucking yell.

One of the truly incredible things about Daggerheart that I feel routinely that I never felt nearly enough with the other game is how often I find an Adversary or Environment someone created and immediately say: “oh! I want to find a way for my players to interact with that immediately!
October 17, 2025 at 11:29 AM
@thenaturolls.com - Can't wait to show you what I'm cooking up for next week for Daggerheart! Imagine a T3 Social that PHASE CHANGES into a T3 Leader when it is time for the gloves to come off!

Well, I tried to find/tag the creator, but, alas.

I purchased this today. It’s really damn good.

If you find yourself creating environments for Daggerheart, remember that not every feature has to be a transaction where a PC rolls or gains hope or marks stress, etc… they can also be opportunities to tee up RP for the sake of making the scene interesting.
October 15, 2025 at 9:21 PM
@thenaturolls.com - like a damn Keebler elf, I’ve been cookin’ up the good stuff. My focus is shifting currently to social adversaries because there are not enough of them (and they are great), so, this is a T2 Social - The Noble Lord which is meant to fill the gap between Monarch and Petty Noble.

Daggerheart - Session 19 - Heroes

Making their way back to the surface, the party was greeted on the street as heroes; cheers, applause and fireworks. There would be a festival in their honor to celebrate their saving the city, followed by a huge banquet.

So… they robbed a store.

Fuck.

I’m quickly reaching that point where I feel like I’m over prepping for today’s Daggerheart session.
