@slyflourish.com has so many gems for all #ttrpg players and I definitely thought about myself when reading how to be a better player.
Definitely think I can let my own story go a bit and focus on building my PC into the group and GM’s campaign.

This one was super fun. I had no idea if going on a boat would work but it definitely did.
The one thing I didn’t see coming was Toko’s rod, tho.

Loving how much focusing on theater of the mind just feels like an improvement to VTT play. Maybe it is also just because it is #daggerheart?
Seems to bring more engagement and creativity to everyone.
Only bringing the maps back to the fore for combat, I think.

Apropos to nothing #ttrpg related this patience game, discovered by my 8 year old, has become a bit of an obsession.
Love that there is basically always a way to win as long as you play it well. Still feels fresh every time.
Pack of cards is still hard to beat for all kinds of fun.

Was super nervous but have been real happy with how things turned out.
Welcome to the Scorchborn Saga. Some just want to watch the world burn. #daggerheart #ttrpg

Watched Jaws with my 8 year old for the first time. He loved it. Biggest commentary was wondering why everyone smokes and, “this movie has a lot of bad words. I don’t like it. 😂

I love my maps from @tomcartos.bsky.social and @dysonlogos.bsky.social. Couldn’t recommend their patreon’s enough.
Anyone have favorite map, token, or you’re creators for running their #trrpg on a VTT?
#daggerheart specific is a win, too!
But I’d love to hear about awesome artists to support.

@norsefoundry.com’s Storybook line of dice is gorgeous. Picked up at #gencon
Snagged lapis lazuli and couldn’t be happier. Look so nice and feel great in hand.
Now we just need them to get together with #daggerheart for some hope and fear dice. 😏

Last day of #gencon for me and it’s been awesome.
Played some fun games with friends, bought some dice, and then bought more dice.
Also met awesome people from Darrington Press who I couldn’t say enough awesome things about.
And all that #daggerheart news is 👌. These folks are doing it right.

I did this for a shockingly long period of time.
Listening back to @thenaturolls.com Episode 2, and the 2nd or 3rd time I heard @teecha.bsky.social call my sand cat companion Ponzoo, I turned to the speaker and said "Pazu!" Just as I, as Yriel, said in character, "Pazu!"

Thanks to @dodoborne.com for sharing with a bunch of great ideas. Already started doing some of these with my in person group but plenty more to learn to let those dice help drive the story forward and not just be an extra thing.
Everyone stop what you’re doing and check out the newest entry from the best damn blog in #Daggerheart land!
I'm not saying you're rolling your dice wrong, but I'm also not not saying you could create more suspense rolling differently in #ttrpg

On another note I’m working to hold back from over planning this session. Barely scratched the surface of my initial plans for session 1.
Instead I’m trying to reuse, improv, and insert my different ideas into session 2 as they arise.
Still hitting my “beats” from #daggerheart core book, too.

Running session 2 of #daggerheart this weekend with a beautiful @dysonlogos.bsky.social map.
But how do you slowly reveal the map to players #ttrpg friends? Printed 2x3 ft.
Just cover with construction paper?
Going to use it as a reference and then draw a room on my flipmat for combat.
