A Real Beast Feast: How to Use Snacks for Terrain and Minis - Delve With Hope When I was planning my Gen Con setup, I knew I wanted to pack light. Ideally, I would show up with an empty suitcase and go home fully encumbered. Unfortunately, I also needed to GM several Daggerhear...

Did I miss anything while I was taking a Long Rest?

I wrote about using pretzels, animal crackers, etc. on a battle map. Now, when a PC delivers the killing blow, you too can ask (cracker in hand):

"How do you want to eat this?"

My experience at the Critical Role Indy live show - Delve With Hope When I decided to go to Gen Con this past year, I asked my wife whether I should go to the Critical Role live show as well. I consider myself a somewhat poor Critter. Despite picking up Critical Role ...

It was a hot second ago, but I wrote some thoughts about the critical role live show in Indy. blog.delvewithhope.com/my-experienc...

Nice setup! Is that the sablewood messengers?

Did your players stick to the guardrails, or did anything wild happen?

Props again on stepping up to run! I hope it was worth pushing yourself to do it

That was an absolute blast. I am dead tired, but had a great time.

Not much of an opportunity for pictures, but I did get one for the first group.

I hope my voice holds out for the game tomorrow

Top notch cliffhanger in this one

6 months ago 3 0 1 1

“Does [Tusk Love] subvert any tropes in orc romance?”

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

Also it was surprisingly hard to explain how Tusk Love came to be to non-critters

I have the luxury of blogging for myself, so I just generally look at engagement across social media and take that as a win

So no idea

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

Gotta be careful of those mimic dice that look like d12s but are really d6s at heart

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?

True skill is rolling well when it matters

How I Ran Daggerheart at Gen Con - Delve With Hope At Gen Con this year, I had the opportunity to run a new Daggerheart adventure for Darrington Press. I previously wrote about some takeaways from the experience, but I also wanted to share how I appro...

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!

My reactions to the Age of Umbra mini-series - Delve With Hope (Author’s Note: I wrote this post a few weeks ago before the Campaign Four announcement. My revisions may reflect that knowledge, but most of this stayed the same. I also probably won’t write anything...

I'm a bit late, but I did finish watching Critical Role play Daggerheart in Age of Umbra! I have thoughts blog.delvewithhope.com/my-reactions...

1. Boy I'm not used to long-form actual play
2. PC dying in a CR mini-series works, but in a campaign?
3. Countdowns are great
4. I love small parties

Maybe this should be a redwall-inspired, vegetarian fantasy world?
