Hopefully! And I suspect this was more of an inevitable consequence of the backend changes than anything preventable.

@save.vs.totalpartykill.ca Just catching up on my blog feed from last week and spotted your post about the migration! I use Feeder and didn't need to do anything on my end... except go mark 300+ posts unread, that Feeder registered as "unread" ๐Ÿคฃ

(oh, and if you have prepped encounters, go thru the environment or adversary blocks ahead of time and come up with some ideas of how you'll tactically run them. it's easy to forget about certain features when you're new!)

If you aren't already in the habit of asking your players "you [succeed thing]. what does that look like?", lean into that!

don't be afraid to spend your Fear. read the GM sections of the rulebook.

and have fun!

Aaah of course! Now that I think about it, is does remind me of the pages of a particular Japanese notebook I really like.

Ooh what paper is that, with the two-scale grid?

(Also, I love the dungeon. I was about crying with laughter reading it yesterday.)

Which means I just now met, once again, the single, simple paragraph that has left me perpetually dissatisfied with every other depiction of bandit-type enemies, ever since I read it c. 2006 (it's split across two pages in the paperback):

Biggest surprise of my DrakkenHeart campaign prep so far: the touchstone I keep turning to (consciously or not) as I work up the factions & NPCs is, of all things, Tamora Pierce's Tortall novels.

Partly cause of that, I've started rereading Protector of the Small.

(Oh, and the frame also gives a nod to restocking and a dynamic environment. The campaign book coming next year will have more, apparently.)

So I think I'm gonna be approaching my campaign prep very much from a "prepping a megadungeon" angle. Which is pretty damn exciting.

(By default, DH only provides for milestone levelling. I don't mind it as a player, but I revolt at the idea as a GM.)

Drakkenheim for DH has a vast, labyrinthine hostile space to delve into; a faction system; and random encounters.

Sounds like good meat for a 'crawl to me.

Basically, while the core rules suggest a very trad x narrative style of adventure gaming, I think there's a lot of interesting ways we can use DH's systems (like Fear and the 4-fold duality dice results) to do other things. One thing I AM gonna be test-driving is XP levelling advancement.

DH is not an OSR, or even NSR, game by any stretching of the terms. But among other things, it has modular design, a focus on emergent stories, and proceduralized play tools. And it's definitely "a dnd" (a fantasy adventure game, playable with pen and paper and miniature figures).

I'm super excited. Especially because my read on the campaign is that, despite the urban setting, its got most all the hallmarks of a *megadungeon* campaign.

I've been fiddling with ideas for months about how to marry DH and old-school types of play.

Kicked off our second Daggerheart campaign last night! Group decided to go with the beta Drakkenheim frame that recently went up - none of us are familiar with its previous 5e incarnations, but the frame is easily the equal of (or better than) the frames in the core rulebook.

And also at the local rpg society, I'm playing in a Werewolf: the Apocalypse game that's just getting off the ground! It's my first proper WoD experience, I'm pretty excited.

What else have I been up to? Let's see. Wrapping (probably) on an open-table dungeon crawl (DCC) I've been running Mondays for the rpg society locally. It didn't quite get off the ground the way I wanted it to, and with taking on the Daggerheart game as GM, I gotta put a hat down.

I'm pitching 3 different campaigns at them. 1 from the core rules (Colossus of the Drylands), the Drakkenheim beta frame, and a homebrew. Sent them a preview doc (1 page each).

That they are all into all 3 of them is very gratifying lmao
