Dragon's Vault Sneak Peaks #1 & #2
Some of you may know me as the Magic Monday guy. Well Magic Monday is becoming a book. Specifically converted 4+ years of old D&D 5e content into Daggerheart Weapons, Armour, Loot, Domain Cards and Adversaries.
The Dragon's Vault is releasing on August 31st, and until then we're dropping sneak peaks of some of the up coming content every couple of days. The first two Eye-Spy Key and Cackling Skull are here, along with the gorgeous cover with our titular Librarian Dragon studying their horde.
Hope you all enjoy and are as excited as we are. More info about the project as a whole to come.

[Spoilers C4E27] Critical Role's Bold use of Ancestries in Campaign 4
Tagging up to the latest episode, although this video was filmed a few weeks ago. Brennan's intentional use of the "all Orcs are this..." And "All elves are this..." as a foundational element of Araman really got me down a rabbit hole as a GM and world builder.
Into Mithral Skies - Subclasses Playtest
Hello Adventurers!
I am coming to you with a new playtest for an upcoming Campaign Frame: Into Mithral Skies.
Into Mithral Skies seeks to bring high adventure in the high skies to Daggerheart. The frame is set in the mountain top world of Aeith, with adventure found between the clouds and over the horizon.
This first playtest focuses on three Subclasses: The Explorer Ranger, Call of the Swashbuckler Warrior, and the School of Mechanics Wizard.
The playtest is totally public, and all three subclasses are available on Heart of Daggers right now as well.
I will appreciate all feedback and constructive criticism, and there will be future playtests to come!
Note - art presented in the Pitch is temporary and will be replaced in any final product.

(a little late posting) but this week on DH2H we discussed all the exciting things from the anniversary stream. Including a fairly intense debate about the use of the term "load bearing" when it comes to Hope & Fear.
Discussion and debate always welcome

So I've been thinking over how my experiences with Daggerheart showcased what my issues were with D&D, and more importantly how Daggerheart has shaped the ways I GM D&D when I go between both systems.
