The sweeties at @darringtonpress.bsky.social invited me and my co-designer Cass Rea to make something special for the upcoming #Daggerheart expansion.
It's part Slugblaster, part Onward, and pairs well with a slurpee and 2009 dreampop.
It's called Castle High and I can't wait for you to see it!

Do we still need stories about an aspirational immigrant who's so devoted to his adopted country that he regularly puts himself in danger to help even those who fear and distrust him, and who's primary antagonist is an egotistical tech billionaire?
