Delve With Hope: a Daggerheart blog

Should I be preparing the game of Daggerheart I’m running tomorrow night? Definitely. Am I doing my Advent of Dungeons content instead? You bet. My Day 20 Content Speaking of betting, today’s prompt was POKER. I have never come up with a gambling mini-game for content before, but now seems a good a time as…

As winter approaches, what sounds nicer than a trip to the beach to gather seashells? Well, I won’t be doing that myself, but perhaps we can imagine such a moment sitting around a table playing a TTRPG. My Day 19 Content Today’s prompt was SEASHELL. Let’s make another adventure for it. Quest: The party is…

We are a week out from Christmas, so we’re in the home stretch here. On that note, I need to check if advent calendars typically run through Christmas Day to determine if we’re doing 24 or 25 of these. My Wednesday game today was canceled, so I didn’t get to use anything. I hope to…

This reminds me of “Ghost Riders in the Sky“, a western song about devil cows being chased by ghost cowboys. It’s not really the sort…

We’re two weeks into the Advent of Dungeons, and I’m still happily cranking on content. I was wondering if I would need to plan or think a lot about the prompts, but the world is full of inspiration. My Day 14 Content Today’s prompt is FENCE REPAIR. That naturally fits into an adventure. I want…

I really enjoyed coming up with yesterday’s content. I tend to let the humor come through at the table rather than planning for it, but I also like the idea of setting a sillier tone for the world in general. Since writing that, I thought a good setup would be for an arm to almost…

We’re half-way there in creating bits of game content for the Advent of Dungeons! I’m hoping to stay on track with the rest of this My Day 12 Content Today’s prompt is MARBLE. Let’s try a different sort of adventure setup that hopefully is a good setup for hijinks. Quest: The party needs to deliver…
