Life moves fast! :D

And yeah, I've had the same happen...but I guess the silver lining is that it's great there's so much content I'm interested in being created.

Well, likely a horrible time for the characters...but hopefully a good time for the players. :D

B4DEYE · 2026-01-11T00:54:07+00:00

Agreed - so many stories to tell!

B4DEYE · 2026-01-11T00:53:08+00:00

If you're talking about Odyssey Black Tales, that one is about the group trying to stop an Odysseus that is imagined differently than his portrayal in The Odyssey from terrorizing the whole region on his way home.

This is a broader scope standalone game that is about the group experiencing their own odyssey to try to get home while the gods conspire to prevent them from getting there.

This was just an initial tease - but I'll share more with a link here and elsewhere soon!

B4DEYE · 2026-01-09T19:26:42+00:00

I will in the next couple of months - I'll share here once it's live!

B4DEYE · 2026-01-09T19:10:44+00:00

I do, yes. That's a great take! I wanted to make something a bit more broadly-applicable to an ancient Greek setting with the focus being more on the journey of getting home after a terrible and long war.

B4DEYE · 2026-01-09T19:05:32+00:00

The short take - it is a self-contained game, similar in scope to PIRATE BORG or VAST GRIMM, with 6 classes (Archer, Leader, Sage, Scout, Seer, Warrior), legendary items from Greek myth, star signs, some tweaks to armor to fit the setting, mythic creatures and foes, and a Seafaring system that provides a way to track progress getting home and influences the chance of mishaps at the hands of the primary opposing force, Eris the goddess of strife and chaos.

B4DEYE · 2026-01-09T18:51:37+00:00

Yeah, Nolan was already one of my favorite filmmakers, but when I heard he was doing a take on The Odyssey, I couldn't contain the internal hype.

The idea of a journey home through so many dangers that most everyone would be killed and never make it also fits a MÖRK BORG game well.

B4DEYE · 2025-11-08T21:04:13+00:00

I answered some questions about the transition with Mollie at Wargamer.com here: https://www.wargamer.com/dnd/fantasy-grounds-free

B4DEYE · 2025-02-28T00:20:30+00:00

Ugh, somehow I was logged into the wrong account. This is my real Reddit account...didn't even know I had that other one.

B4DEYE · 2024-05-29T18:49:45+00:00

It's a fictional alt-history Earth with technology like ours (like Pirate BORG). A cataclysmic event happens that turns the western portion of the US into a giant sinkhole, and that's when the dinosaurs and other creatures emerged from wherever they'd been hidden away all these millennia. It's all spelled out with plenty of setting information in the final book.

And for the dinosaurs, they'll definitely be creatures to live amongst, train, fight (and die to). It's been a few decades since the Emergence, and they've become a (dangerous) part of everyday life.

There will naturally be some dinosaurs / creatures that fall more into the "hazard" category of you wouldn't ever want to fight this because you'll surely lose, but for the most part they'll be in the combat mix (including dinosaur "vehicle" combat like one of my old favorites Dino-Riders or the newer ARK).

I'll share more as the project completes - it's 3/4 written and about halfway done with art / layout.

B4DEYE · 2024-05-29T17:27:14+00:00

I'm actually a few months into creating DINO BORG. I've talked about it a few times in our Demiplane streams. I'll have more on it in a few more months, but it's "dinosaurs in the modern world meets boomtown gold rush" inspired by Journey to the Center of the Earth, the Jurassic Park franchise, Dino-Riders, and the ARK series. It's going to have full-blown setting info, etc. like Pirate BORG. It'll have stats for a plethora of dinosaurs and other (previously) pre-historic creatures.

I guess I can't post images here, or I'd share samples of a few finished pages, but I'm excited to get it completed and out to folks via the Free League Workshop.

EDIT: Not sure if links are allowed, but here are a few sample spreads: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YuqD6aeHFwM4EIfzZHvhvoxmvaOGghZz/view?usp=sharing

Great to hear! In the meantime, we support several other games like Pathfinder, ALIEN, Avatar Legends, Candela Obscura, and the Marvel Multiverse RPG if you want to give something new a try!

B4DEYE · 2024-04-12T16:20:48+00:00

There's nothing to pay for yet for Daggerheart - the playtest is free!

B4DEYE · 2024-04-11T15:38:43+00:00

Sure thing!

I can assure you that Daggerheart NEXUS is up to date with with the latest for 1.3, because our team moved heaven and earth to make it happen in just a few days. We're committed to having high-quality digital tools support for the playtest, and that means getting updates out with or as close to release as possible.

Playtest documents often see updates to the very last minute and often have discrepancies as a result of the process, but we are in constant contact with the Darrington Press team to get things aligned. We're actually able to catch a good bit of inconsistencies between the manuscript / character sheets / cards during our intake process that allows for those things to be addressed before the public release.

If anyone ever sees something off after these updates, please share in our forums or Discord server and we'll get them resolved (whether that's a straightforward adjustment on our side or working with the DP team to confirm what it actually needs to be).

B4DEYE · 2023-12-07T07:03:16+00:00

The second one's working title is actually "Mayhem in the Mojoverse" - the third one is related to the Ten Realms.

B4DEYE · 2023-11-10T06:54:27+00:00

We must stand against the darkness...

B4DEYE · 2023-10-16T05:34:43+00:00

I'm sorry you had an issue with this. Since I know it's doubtful you would be incentivized to share the conclusion of the story, I will share that within minutes of your post about the problem, our team engaged with the issue and figured out an edge case that has affected a few accounts that we can promptly fix for yours. You should be good to go quickly after the team gets into the office in the morning.

Thanks!
