  1. As a follow up to this, it looks like CR WILL be using D&D for its Season 4 campaign.

    Which is... very odd in my opinion.

    Whatever the reason (Hasbro $$ maybe?), I feel like they're sending the message that not even they, the creators, want to run Daggerheart.

  6. Further Unhinged TTRPG takes: Do an Actual Play where you don't ever perform. Stop doing voices and deeply described details or physical act outs.
