A spread of all sample difficulties in Daggerheart

Yet another excellent piece of polish for Daggerheart. The table shows how all of the skills work for relative difficulties from Deceive difficulty 5 (trick a trusting acquaintance) to difficulty 30 (trick a god). Getting 6 difficulty levels * 18 skills shows the possibility space quite well.

The game's banner with the text "100 Community Copies" at the bottom.

The Magus was featured in a popular TikTok, and people have been really supporting the game.

To celebrate this milestone, 100 community copies are now available—no need to email anymore. Get a free copy of the Magus in just a single click.

And thank you for the testing

I am glad you like it and hope it inspires such a game. :)

I was able to finish Songfall Survivors from @genesisoflegend.bsky.social for the After the War #TTRPG over my Thanksgiving vacation. I really like the advanced community and wrexploitation (salvaging wrecked ships) rules. I want to get an After the War game going.

Let's get an indie ttrpg HYPE TRAIN going and recommend some cool games for people to buy/gift.

If you're a small #ttrpg creator (or there's an indie game you really love) drop a quick pitch and a link below.

Two scales illustrating the social environment composed by men. The first, prefaced with "I've learned that a lot of guys visualize our social environment like this" shows over 95% of the line to depict "good men", and a small bit to illustrate "crazed evil men". The second line, prefaced with "But it's actually closer to this", is labeled as follows: at the 1/8 mark, "heroic men who will intervene" another eighth "well-meaning men who underestimate the issue", the next line, at about halfway, reads "men who think certain women deserve it (but aren't active predators)" , the line after that, "men who passively enjoy/consume/encourage predation", at the 3/4 mark, "textbook predators we're all afraid of" and a final mark nearly at the extreme end of the scale, labeled "monsters so cruel we can't even fathom them".

I don't recall where I found this, but I'd say this looks about right.

When I consider Daggerheart I think of it as excelling in the evolutionary craft of game design rather than the revolutionary art of design (like PBTA or Amber).

The two axies (sp) are the highest number, and whether either hope or fear are dominant. If Hope is dominant you can get a yes-and bonus or a no-but consolation prize. If Fear is dominant you can get a yes-but complication or a no-and complication.

Yes indeed and they are local friends of mine

Moi aussi. Je dois travailler plus avec la distro et publier plus en français

Ack, I actually meant to say diagetically mask rather than dramatically.

Cute. Daggerheart basically uses the terms hope and fear to dramatically mask yes and, yes, yes but, no but, + yes and.

Ok, Cocaine Bear is exactly the kind of campy fun that I needed. Thank you Netflix.

Ew. That is just gross behaviour.

PDFs help but I don't think the revenue is sufficient to keep the lights on. Maybe domestic sales can move the needle.

I swear that some days I am tempted to liquidate my stock and close up business given the state of international commerce. Shipping goods to the US or Europe is absurdly difficult and the razor thin margins certainly don't help.

Thank you for your team's skilled design work and attention to detail.

A photo of the book Daggerheart where the heading is "Pitfalls to Avoid" with subheadings of "Undermining the Heroes", "Always Telling the Players What to Roll' and "Letting Scenes Drag".

Yup. Here is another lovely example of the evolutionary, refinement of game design. The section of Daggerheart titled Pitfalls to Avoid is remarkably useful and a clear sign of effective playtesting. Show people both the best practices and the mistakes folks make.

Reminder that we're doing a short holiday market campaign where you can get discounted bundles of great games like Lovecraftesque, Wreck This Deck, Last Fleet, Bite Marks, Flotsam: Adrift Amongst The Stars (plus loads of our zines available as add-ons!)

Only a week left before it ends.

Have you heard about Once More Into the Void? This beautiful game was designed by @temporalhiccup.bsky.social using the Firebrands Framework and deserves your love. Perfect for holiday gift-giving and tariff-free for Americans! www.indiepressrevolution.com/xcart/Once-M...

This is absolutely what our industry needs. Oy.

On this Transgender Day of Remembrance, I affirm that trans rights are human rights, and trans people are and always have been a vital part of the LGBTQ+ community.

I honor and remember the lives lost to anti-trans violence and discrimination and rededicate myself to fight for trans rights. 🏳️‍⚧️

I am truly and genuinely so glad you asked!

Yes, but not for the digital (ebook) version sent out to customers. They are afraid that folks will be able to extract and thereby use the typeface from the book itself, which is not a problem with print media or anything rasterized.
