Finally got around to getting demiplane nexus so I can share daggerheart content with folks that don't have the book yet and build characters with my online players. Fallen down the character creation rabbit hole now that I figured out how to do domain swaps for classes and edit weapon traits.

Daggerheart Duality Dice (2xD12s) will be available for the first time when our shop updates on Saturday, November 1st, at 12pm PT!

Busy daggerheart week for me, had an awesome session 0 for my Thursday campaign last night and running session 1 for my Friday campaign tonight, plus I'm playing in another oneshot on Monday as my favorite shroom fae renewal druid. Enjoying getting to play a ttrpg I enjoy as much 🗡️🫀 this regularly

Played another daggerheart oneshot tonight, this time as a stalwart guardian. First try at tier 3 play, alot of features to recall but a ton of fun. I usually don't play tanky martial heavy classes but unstoppable was incredibly clutch, when I did finally get dropped got a crit on risk it all 🗡️🫀

session 0 for my Friday Daggerheart campaign starts tomorrow & session 0 for my Thursday 🗡️ 🫀campaign next week. Excited for the PCs to meet their parties and to see what cool ideas and inspirations they add to the shared fae realm setting all the parties are exploring in their own adventures

My video on designing adventures for Daggerheart is now live on YouTube! Featuring my thoughts about the challenges involved and a preview of material from a WIP adventure I am writing for the Witherwild setting:

Got to play in another daggerheart oneshot as a player today, druids in 🗡️🫀daggerheart are so awesome. Was in the powerful beast form as a sabertoothed bear when my little feral shroom druid and the seraph tag teamed and killed the Toad God the cultists had summoned.

Seelie good aligned fae so having them be darker versions of they're old fae selves with adversary features that mirror what a fae of that ancestry or class might be able to do but tweaked to be more villain coded lends alot to the tone of the game.

so Ive been converting player features from classes, ancestries & domains into variant adversary features that run on fear and stress so I can carry some of that same flavor over to my custom adversaries. Most adversaries they're fighting are the cursed unseelie forms of fae that were originally

Was brewing adversaries for my fae realm campaign and I did notice mechanically npcs don't use pc ancestry or class features. within my setting since all the ancestries minus human are considered as fae I like the idea npcs could share some class and ancestry elements that the players can pick from

Lol the parties made of up motley weirdos are always the best anyway. Now I want to play in an swrd&sorc 🗡️🫀 campaign where the party is just a bunch of weirdos like fogman sorcerer cultists, swamp creature guardians, and evil little goblin druids becoming epic sword & sorcery heroes

But yours is a cooler mix of the system and the setting.class abilities as unique to sword&sorc PCs vs the basic human commoner and the heroes in your party and even villains they fight having otherworldly, magical or nonhuman elements to them makes so much sense for the genre.

Awesome port, i dig how its open to playing the nonhuman flavors of the 🗡️ 🫀 ancestries only abit more swrd&sorc. I jumped to the "nonmagic ranger" trick of low fantasy rational behind the features that felt magical for a human centric feel to ancestry features and less whimsical high fantasy vibes.

Would a fungril pc be human? Like some mossy mushroom munching wildman and the fungril network and death connection features are tied to some narrative aspect of consuming strange mystical mushrooms, instead of the standard daggerheart flavor of myconid like mushroom person?

Or would a ribbit be human and their features express narratively as being a skilled swimmer with a whip trick like ability in place of the amphibious & long tongue flavor?

Been meaning to ask, how did you mesh the high fantasy elements of daggerheart with the more human centric sword and sworcery style of hyborian age. Particularly ancestries, say if a player chose to play a Fungril or a ribbit as their ancestry, are they mushroom or frog type humanoids like in 🗡️🫀?
