A dear friend of mine is a community organizer/activist, and the Post just tried to do a hit piece on him for also being a mime. It comes off more as an advertisement, for him and for Broken Box Mime Theater. Thought my TTRPG crowd would enjoy this video of theirs! #bkbx shorturl.at/mfKAv

You *must* listen to this conversation between Carmela (Ginny) & David (OrLeon). One joined us never having publicly acted; one joined us never having played a TTRPG. Now, a year+ in, these two thoughtful, passionate people share their paths and discoveries. www.hagdealgaming.com/db-13-the-ac...

While @asteriathehag.bsky.social heads to #PAXeast, enjoy a clip featuring the new PC art by @chaoticbeautiful.bsky.social! Mariana, The First Poet, The Shield of Boreas is herself eternally 17. But she really cannot with these kids today. youtube.com/shorts/w-3EY...

Professor Asteria's office hours have begun. #ttrpgs #psychology #acting #rp #mentalhealth #puns and #daggerheart cuz we love our Everything Daggerheart feed www.tiktok.com/@hagdealgami...

David and @twafirstlady.bsky.social were so excited to interview each other, they started with a whole bonus episode. Check out this fascinating #dualitybites about building a score to structure a story. #daggerheart #actualplay @darringtonpress.bsky.social www.hagdealgaming.com/db-12-settli...

Your favorite Fearmongers have returned! @asteriathehag.bsky.social & @dodoborne.com's @iaburns.bsky.social continue their epic chat about fanatically running Daggerheart. Collaborative combat, Fear moves, table conflict, system changes, and those times your players foil your evil plans. And more!

We've been avoiding posting our most dramatic moments, but when our Dearest Listeners give us such moving art...well it would be a crime to keep to ourselves. Thank you Barbamouche ❤️‍🔥 #daggerheart #art #fanart #ttrpg #actualplay #qodhof #ttrpg

And now, at last...meet the Poets. We cannot recommend commissioning @chaoticbeautiful.bsky.social strongly enough. Wonderful process start to finish--especially the finish, where we get to see our heroes ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥

@iaburns.bsky.social of @dodoborne.com fame joins @asteriathehag.bsky.social for a meeting of the GM minds: Two Titans of Daggerheart Actual Play enter...and later both exit, the richer for their collaboration♥️🦤👑🗡️ A Duality Bites! so momentous, it required video. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NySW...

At last, our Season 1 Finale. In which the Poets are tested in a bargain for the Heart Afire. They will learn about the Ward, the realm, themselves--but will they put trust in a hag so they can betray a Queen? We put a lot into this one, folks. #daggerheart www.hagdealgaming.com/s1-finale-pu...

The season finale fast approaches!!! In our most recent episode, you can hear OrLeon learn the hard way to be wary of those who beckon. (Featuring Asteria's Top Two favorite NPC voices.) #daggerheart #actualplay #qodhof youtube.com/shorts/xCdA7...

Here at Hag Deal Gaming we believe in protected spaces.

START THE PRESSES!!! We're beyond honored to share that @saint-eephus.bsky.social has launched the Queen of Daggers, Heart of Fire wiki. It already has so much great info! You can find out how "Caudal" is spelled, which NPCs are hot, and that Augurie is the bestest girl. #lore qodhof.fandom.com

A very real, totally unbiased ruling is at last released: #Dodoborne and #QueenofDaggersHeartofFire are the Duality of AP #Daggerheart podcasts. Hope Squawks! Fear Writes Rhyming Quatrains! Put both in your earholes. go.bsky.app/ViTBvy9

With our latest episode, prepare for a journey! From a royal breakfast where every move might be observed, to a delicate break-in, down through the depths of Lacuna's desires. Also, some silly voices. A few notes to come on version changes and errata. www.hagdealgaming.com/episode-13-r...

Wow, thank you to @darringtonpress.bsky.social for shouting us out in their holiday newsletter!!! It's very esteemed company (hi @dodoborne.com!!!) and we love the Darrington crew soooo much. A Lacunan cubit, even!! #daggerheart

We just celebrated #faunakkah over at Talking Crit!! Blown away by the art @embiodiedvoice.bsky.social @chaoticbeautiful.bsky.social @twafirstlady.bsky.social and @smashmyfoot.bsky.social have made--not even a complete list! Hie thee to this Discord, maybe the fun will last 8 nights? #daggerheart

Our most recent #dualitybites is one we've been wanting to do for awhile. David and Asteria--who met making theatre 30 years ago--sit down and talk about the mechanics of #daggerheart and what makes it so inherently dramatic. We hope you enjoy! #ttrpgs www.hagdealgaming.com/db-9-thirsty...

There is such a great episode of Queen of Daggers AND of Duality Bites each SO CLOSE TO READY for your lovely ears. Both so different from previous episodes! And both not quiiiiite done in editing. Soon!!!

The wheels...they are turning...

I've at times pointed out to folks online that they could just change the "but" at the beginning of their comment to an "and." Usually it's men replying to women. Usually, they agree. A lot of ppl don't realize how knee-jerk that reaction is--"correcting" instead of adding. Let's yes-and, folks!

@asteriathehag.bsky.social talks about #Daggerheart's support for winging it. And maybe talks more about neurodivergence than she'd set out to, that'll happen.

Announcing our campaign to convert totally normal unsuspecting weirdoes into Daggerheart GMs. #daggerheart #rpg #gmtips #fearmongers #tryingtomakethatathing youtube.com/shorts/u6Sih...

Another huge PAX-related thanks we owe: @chaoticbeautiful.bsky.social from @systemshifters.bsky.social, who talked us through the con experience and gave us so much practical advice. Thanks Emma for amping us up, and reminding us that everyone loves animals (and candy).

Yesssss it's here. This is the first half of our penultimate session. Our finale is also going to air in two parts. That means a mere THREE EPISODES after this!!! ...for S1. We've already started on S2. Don't stop rolling with hope. www.hagdealgaming.com/episode-12-r...

By far our most-viewed short...and yeah, it's an earworm. youtube.com/shorts/ed32v... #daggerheart #actualplay #ttrpg

Asteria is still fighting off con crud, so Episode 12 will drop tomorrow!

Asteria here! I am sick--looks like just a random bug--but hopping on to thank everyone who played and chatted with at this weekend at #PAXU! If you played at one of my tables I've been meaning to reach out via RPGGeek, but I've had Germ Brain. Hope I get to thank you better after the holiday <3

Jay Ben has been mapping Lacuna as we play. Today he showed us the prettied-up version. Some of us may still have big heart eyes. #daggerheart #fantasymaps #lacuna

Wow! What a first #PAX. We'll have to do a roundup of the how-is-this-real memories once we've slept, but for now the most important: our three incredible tables. Each so different, each as good as could possibly be. Hag dreams do come true!!! @officialpax.bsky.social #daggerheart #hagstuff

Poll: How many GMs out there are also event coordination nerds? #paxunplugged #gamemasters #dms #ttrpg #rpg #gmlife #daggerheart #nerds

Today for our first #daggerheart game at #paxunplugged, we went in with no plan at all...but occasionally drew cards from the Alleyman's Tarot for inspiration. Here are the cards that led us to the Abandoned Grove. #alleymanstarot @darringtonpress.bsky.social @tthq.bsky.social

What did YOU bring to #paxunplugged? #daggerheart @officialpax.bsky.social @darringtonpress.bsky.social

It has come to our attention that there are people here talking about things other than Daggerheart #doesnotcompute #paxunplugged

The Harvest Court contains multitudes, and our Poets no longer no whom, or what, to trust. It's been a long, weary road, after all, marked by loss and upheaval. But when the Queen of Harrows questions you, you don't want to lose your head... www.hagdealgaming.com/episode-11-a...

Milk and apple fritters for everyone! It's a joyous day for all who love #daggerheart ❤️ Hope you can join!

Faced with a showdown between Glory and Fortune themselves, the Poets make some quick decisions--and try to put together the pieces of all that's befallen Lacuna in a few short days. #daggerheart #ttrpg #podcast www.hagdealgaming.com/episode-10-w... @darringtonpress.bsky.social

We forgot to take a group pic during our Season 2 premiere sesh! But here's our Fearsome GM afterwards, unwinding the only proper way: drinking gin from a yogurt cup, in front of a "story wall" that's just the names of all the characters she could remember from Season 1. Twinfold blessings all!

I've unlocked a big essay I wrote this summer about developing your table's shared storytelling skills for games like but not limited to: Daggerheart, Blades in the Dark, Apocalypse Keys, The Between, etc. www.patreon.com/posts/142374...

Gearing up for our return to #daggerheart with @hagdealgaming.bsky.social, with a new Strange Patterns RNG from @twafirstlady.bsky.social which lives in this amazing hand-crocheted potion bottle customized for Evelyn! #queenofdaggersheartoffire

ok but should we call Daggerheart GMs "Fearmongers"

Pretty pretty

Asteria is the *only* GM running #daggerheart at #paxunplugged. We think she's pretty cool, but all 3 of her games are booked. How can she help YOU join her ranks? Let's sling some Fear in Philly! @tthq.bsky.social @officialpax.bsky.social @darringtonpress.bsky.social youtube.com/shorts/GDR6C...

Hey there, Dread Poets Society! Two announcements: 1) This week's episode is delayed a day, cuz it was a bear to edit. 2) @asteriathehag.bsky.social will be running some games at #PAXUnplugged next month! She's got one listed now, with 1-2 more coming forthwith. rpggeek.com/geeklist/363...

Duality: the heart of the game, the heart of adventure. www.youtube.com/shorts/aIF0m... @darringtonpress.bsky.social #daggerheart

Welcome to the neighborhood, Darrington! Prepare to be tagged, just, so many times.

Coven cats pulling their weight

This week on Duality Bites: Combat! How our most recent one was made, and how Daggerheart makes combat design more fun, less anxiety-inducing. #daggerheart #ttrpgs #gmtips #freshcutgrass @darringtonpress.bsky.social www.hagdealgaming.com/db-8-the-gre...

😭😭😭 Our Poets aren't quite Big Damn Heroes yet but they're putting in the work.

The Poets at last find themselves in a fight they can't escape. What will they learrn about themselves in this trial by chaotic fire? Will motes of Madness herself change their fates?  www.hagdealgaming.com/episode-9-a-...
