There’s nothing quite like book club to bring serious discussion questions to niche genre fiction

I ran the part 1 of the Draw Steel Delian tomb start here adventure last
And it is very, VERY good at what it is (tactical heroic fantasy)
I haven’t finished reading the rules or played much noncombat, so there’s a lot more here to do
I gotta up my tactics though if I want to keep running it

In daggerheart today, one of my players got 3 crits in a row to:
1. Haggle
2. Charm a grandma
3. Drink some nasty tea
He then failed rolls to
1. Swing over quicksand
2. Get out of the quicksand
I think that’s instant karma?

I know Gen Con was awhile ago, but I'm trying to stretch the content out. Here how I setup the table. 2 big ideas:
1. Make name tent cards
2. Keep the rules short
Also play dough was a hit.
Hope this help others run Daggerheart con games!
