My #D&D #DescentIntoAvernus players had to cross the River Styx. They could pay for a ride across; or work for a Devil to earn their passage; or... there was a high stony cliff, overlooking the river. After careful thought, the Barbarian floored it and jumped the War Machine over a 250ft gorge.

That was a fun bug for #Homebrewery: variables were unexpectedly being reset at the end of each page. It turns out that when we extracted the function to the NPM package `marked-variables`, we missed that the packaged version didn't play well with our custom HTML renderer. The fix is live now!

#Homebrewery v3.20 just went live! Now to find all the bugs that we missed...

If you need art for your projects but have time instead of money, @wendigoworkshop.bsky.social's PDF is an extremely handy resource! #ttrpg #homebrewery

My #D&D #DescentIntoAvernus players have reached a crossroads; tonight, they must choose their path. They may escape Avernus, but in the knowledge that by doing so, they leave the city of Elturel to fall to the Devils. Will they doom at least 10,000 people to save themselves?

After a long and tiring work trip, I got home to relax... by finding a sync bug in the current #Homebrewery development branch that prevented transferring files to/from Google Drive. Once identified, it was only a few lines of code to fix... but I'm very glad that one didn't manage to go live!

My #Daggerheart SRD project continues... Today, I've been working on testing! ✅ 100% of the API is now covered by tests ❌ 7 of the 14 UI data types (including #Homebrewery templates) are 100% covered - Adversaries - Ancestries (HB still WIP) - Armor - Beast Forms - Loot - Weapons - Wheelchairs

I've been posting progress updates about my current #D&D campaign on a Discord server for the module. Today I got a message from a new user, asking about specific plot points because my campaign sounds "cinematic" and "epic". BRAIN: It's an AI spam bot, isn't it? ME: SHUT UP AND LET ME HAVE THIS

I was already thinking of converting Curse of Strahd to #Daggerheart, but this morning my brain provided a further wrinkle: Make the infamous grey East European-inspired Barovia a western. Pros: Ridiculous Vampire Cowboys Cons: I have to rework the entire campaign, like I was already going to...

Data entry is done for #Daggerheart subclasses at daggerheartsrd.vercel.app! Unless I've missed something, that should be a wrap on the data entry portion of the project and all that's left is creating Homebrewery templates for everything.

This is the link to The House of Fear, my re-imagining of Curse of Strahd's Death House as a #Daggerheart one shot. Here's how it went... #ttrpg

Wrapped up my #Daggerheart Halloween one shot just before 1 AM. In a first for my table, the PCs failed to achieve the best outcome and had to handle the permanent loss of a character, who chose to sacrifice themselves so that the others could get away. Success, but at a great personal cost.

Today's the day: #Daggerheart Halloween one-shot is due to start in less than ten hours! So naturally I'm doing my usual DM last minute preparations and revisions - adding spot art from itch.io, specifically Hounskull and Fscibe.

Swapping out Nodesto for Eveleth feels right, given that the primary focus of this document is Daggerheart, not Dungeons & Dragons.

I don't know why I started giving my Environments alliterative names, but I feel like it's a thing now and I should probably keep doing it. #daggerofstrahd #daggerheart #oneshot

I forgot to post that all of my #Hacktoberfest PRs have been accepted, and I am officially a Supercontributor... as of about two weeks ago. Whoops. I got the Hacktoberfest 2025: Supercontributor badge from Hacktoberfest @hacktoberfest @digitalocean! www.holopin.io/hacktoberfes...

My #Daggerheart API project (daggerheartsrd.vercel.app) is nearly complete... Subclasses are still WIP, but data entry & API routes are complete for: ✅Adversaries ✅Ancestries ✅Armor ✅Beast Forms ✅Classes ✅Communities ✅Consumables ✅Domains (including Cards) ✅Environments ✅Loot ✅Weapons ✅Wheelchairs

I printed the mini for the boss monster of my Halloween one shot! Grey Ooze, by Draigbran www.thingiverse.com/thing:4222630

Watching the #Dimension20 season finale and adding more data to my #Daggerheart #SRD #API... Tonight, I've pushed live the data and basic Homebrewery templates for Armor, Loot, and Wheelchairs. Subclasses are still in progress; Consumables and Domain Cards are not started yet.

In my re-imagining of Death House as a #Daggerheart one shot, the party is menaced by a strange mist - but on reaching a village, all the doors are locked! Then a girl calls from a window: can they come up and let her and her brother out? No time! Mist on their heels, they race in. #daggerofstrahd

Oct 31st is fast approaching, I need to get this #Daggerheart one shot wrapped up... Environments: Haunted House > Monstrous Ambush > Digesting Dungeon > Altar of Blood Modified Adversaries: Dire Wolf, Rotted Zombies, Patchwork Zombie Hulk Doesn't look much like the original Death House.

Just as I got the last of the #Daggerheart SRD Environments loaded, Vercel has gone down... Looks like the front end might still be working but the back end is unresponsive. Sounds like a good point to call it a night then.

Secondary Weapons are now complete, and #Homebrewery output is now working for all Weapons. #daggerheart #srd #api Being able to throw these together in a matter of seconds is incredibly convenient... Especially when you're looking to base your homebrew weapon on an existing one.

Just quietly finished the data transformation to add all 149 Primary Weapons to my #Daggerheart API. Next up: secondary weapons & wheelchairs.

Another update for daggerheartsrd.vercel.app : Homebrewery format is now in place! The line at the bottom of the card indicates which page of the Daggerheart SRD document (including document version) contains this card's information. #daggerheart #srd #api

What is the first scene of Death House? In the original, two children approach the party on the street. As a one shot, we can't have the party opt to go around them... so instead, we'll start the first scene INSIDE the house. #daggerofstrahd #deathhouse #daggerheart

Confirmed; the players are in. #DeathHouse #Daggerheart one shot on October 31. ...hopefully I can find some better haunted house artwork by then, this one has AI vibes. #daggerofstrahd

I flexed Regex skills I didn't even know that I had, and turned text extracted from the Daggerheart SRD PDF into functional JSON that can be returned by an API. All 129 Adversaries have now been added. Full Adversary List: daggerheartsrd.vercel.app/api/adversar...

So, not to be distracted from #D&D tomorrow night, or the #Daggerheart one shot in two weeks... I started working on a Daggerheart SRD API to #Homebrewery converter tool. This DID mean that I had to create the API first... daggerheartsrd.vercel.app

In my original plan for the #DeathHouse #Daggerheart conversion, I was only going to have creepy effects in the first two floors, then jump scares for the next two. However, after watching Evil Dead 2, I'm reworking the effects. #daggerofstrahd

I decided to return to my Death House #Daggerheart one shot tonight. In order to promote thinking about a horror narrative, I watched Evil Dead 2. Again. ...taking notes this time.

I wasn't planning on doing a Halloween one shot this year. Then I did the #Daggerheart one shot. Followed by the Death House conversion. And now I realize that the last scheduled #TTRPG session for the month is literally on the 31st? Get in, players, looks like we're going back to Barovia...

6/6 accepted for #Hacktoberfest! I'm aiming to complete a few more before the month is out, but now I'll feel better about returning to other projects.

One of my favourite things about #Homebrewery is that I don't have to wait for experimental cards like Transformations to be added to the official #Daggerheart Card Creator before I can make one that looks good! www.daggerheart.com/thevoid/

Five out of six PRs for #Hacktoberfest have been accepted, and the final one is waiting for final review now that I have applied the requested changes! I'll still push to get a couple more through before the month is out, but #Homebrewery is going to benefit from a lot of minor fixes very soon!

A player asked if it was possible to play a Dhampir character in #Daggerheart? I don't believe you can currently, so I created this Graveborne community background. It's probably terribly unbalanced & overpowered. The Evil Within concept art by Christian Bravery: www.artstation.com/artwork/rRN46

My first two #Homebrewery PRs have been submitted for #Hacktoberfest, and a third one is motion! I found a nasty bug that was causing the default save location setting to not be read properly; that was a PITA to track down and solve.

My plan for #DeathHouse #Daggerheart one shot: - first floor (rooms 1-10): whispers and things that no one else sees/hears - second floor & attic (11-21): jump scares, inexplicable movement, ghost sighting? - children's room (22): openly attacked - dungeon (23+): gore, sneak attacks, boss battle

The Death House #Daggerheart conversion continues. I'm pretty happy with the first two floors; but tension needs to continue to ramp up in the Attic before peaking in the Dungeon. Perhaps the ghostly children, who the party are trying to help, are the first things to openly attack? #daggerofstrahd

I've been thinking about effective horror for an upcoming #Daggerheart #Halloween one shot, based on Death House. Generally, the longer the monster is unseen, the higher the tension... so why are there ten different battles, starting only halfway into the house? #ttrpg #oneshot

I've started to actually look at Death House content for conversion to #Daggerheart. I've worked through the house but not into the dungeon underneath yet. I'm struck by a lot of what feels like missed opportunities to set the tone of this Haunted House. #daggerofstrahd #curseofstrahd #deathhouse

In Death House, there are 22 listed ability checks (excluding the Ending). 12 of these are Perception checks, of which 5 are to notice unsettling details on the wallpaper, and 3 more are to find MANDATORY SECRET DOORS. I won't go into the ~10 combats today. #daggerheart #daggerofstrahd #deathhouse

It's official: a pre-order has now been placed for the next #Daggerheart Core Set release; estimated to be about eight weeks from now.

#Daggerheart quickstart campaign complete! I realized that I was running Adversary Damage Thresholds incorrectly, which was making them much tougher than intended. Once corrected, the 2 player party began to carve through the encounters with ease.

I'm running the #Daggerheart quickstart campaign in... less than four hours. - I have maps, from #NerdyMaps' free selection on Patreon - I have minis, from #LootStudios and #TitanCraft - I have so, so many dice from my crippling TTRPG addiction Snacks and players, and we're good! Cat tax:

Running the #Daggerheart quickstart campaign tomorrow night; I've read the entire thing but I planned to read it today, and again tomorrow before the players arrive... ...so naturally work dropped an eleven hour top priority emergency breakdown on me.

One thing that I found useful when running #KidsOnBikes for my D&D players was having example Difficulty Benchmarks at hand. While the #Daggerheart #SRD has these tables, they don't seem to appear in the Quick Start, so I've reproduced them into a quick reference guide.

#Homebrewery got a shout out by the #DeckOfDMThings!

The Whitefire Arcanist is progressing. Unfortunately the paint I have is not perfect, but it's the paint I have, and the session is in six days... Basic color is down. Well see if I remember how to do a proper wash tomorrow.

My Whitefire Arcanist has a layer of standard gray primer... The paint process is officially begun! #Daggerheart #3dprint #titancraft
