Daggerheart isn’t finicky
A few weeks ago, I ran my first in-person Daggerheart session, and it went great. Of course, I ran The Sablewood Messengers again.

How I Found Daggerheart
(Author’s Note: this post was written based on the Daggerheart Open Beta v1.5) I first came to Daggerheart through COVID. Sort of. Not the big pandemic, of course, but just a smaller bout. Let me explain. One evening after a tiring day of entertaining the kids while relying on ibuprofen to keep myself going, I just wanted…
