Making Custom Adversaries β€’ Daggerheart Compatible Adversaries & Creatures Homebrew β€’ Heart Of Daggers I’m Chris Davidson, one of the writers for Daggerheart! I wrote the Custom Adversary section of the Core book and I’m here to help you making even more adversaries for Darrington Press’s Daggerheart! ...

If you're designing adversaries and environments for Daggerheart, I can't recommend this guide by @rightknighttofight.bsky.social highly enough. And if you're running Age of Umbra they've designed some gnarly adversaries/environments for that as well.

Providing people with reasonable healthcare is too expensive though.

Hypocritical fuckers. It's infuriating.

Art of a robot facing forward, part of its chest is open to reveal wires and a core glowing from the inside. A few wires drape over the arms like fabric. The "Show Me Your Core" title is set at the bottom of the page.

What are some good #Discord alternatives? I use the platform to organize with creators to make and publish #TTRPGs. With all the data breaches these days, there is no way I am giving them more of my data.
