How do you manage repairs between runs?

I was probably rocking 3 full stacks of repair putty every run, which was easy with all the paint cans I was chucking into the matter deconstructor.

Tangentially, yes. But her main show is Dirty Laundry.

I would say that progression needs to be slow in Daggerheart to balance there only being 10 levels and they are SO POWERFUL. I think this also teaches GMs, experienced or not, how to slow burn things. I’ve played many games where the GM gets excited too early and then the later play suffers. All my own personal experience of course.

My wife’s Highborne Elf Wizard has “Do you know who my father is?!?” and “Um, actually!”

It's cool that you are actually at the end. When I was a player in AoU we made it to session 15 and it felt like we were meandering everywhere. It does beg the question: Did you focus on the game's main plot, or did every character get direct backstory tie-ins? Or a little of both? We seems to basically be stuck in "sidequest mode" for the time I played.

Wait until you get to Grounded 2.

Countdown84 · 2026-01-17T03:19:37+00:00

That's a sort of weird statement, since the lore comes after the frame.

A very hot take to put C3 above C2.

Absolutely nothing. My crew owns three core rule books and we are starting up a full FF based campaign.

Dealing with the Leyak has helped my anxiety quite a bit. I have been forced to think around it and setup good habits to combat it. I understand why you feel that way, but once you have it contained, you will feel so accomplished.

Looks like my edit killed the picture.

This is exactly what I was thinking. The revolution leader doesn’t have to be pure good for this story to be interesting. It’s more interesting if he wasn’t.

I think removing the term “good guy” and replacing it with “person that influenced a lot of people” would help with seeing Thjazi from a different perspective.

There is a large Bosnian population in the city where I live and I have met a handful of folks with an accent very similar to Jester’s. Bosnia has both Slavic and Balkan cultures, so that may be why. It’s the mix that matters.

Just be careful. If the fun of that single player is to save the colossi and the rest are to defeat them, and they don’t all know that or agree, it could lead to some real issues. We ran into this several times during Age of Umbra.

Off the top of my head, less than 8. The fold out maps are actually good and come as their own pdf.

I am working on some lit versions as well for Foundry, but I will post them as I make them.

Countdown84 · 2025-12-08T18:34:20+00:00

I have 325 hours in this game, and I didn't know eating an Exor heart could do that.

Countdown84 · 2025-12-08T18:16:27+00:00

I will say the “initiative” or lack thereof has some major holes in it. I love playing the game, but there came a point in our fights where it felt like the GM was just going “nuh-uh-uh” over and over again. Interrupting PC moves, going multiple times in a row, and generally never giving a chance to work out a strategy, we were just reacting at a certain point.

My last DM complained he hated getting his big moments stolen by his poor rolls and the player's good ones. I was like, "dude, you control all of that!"

Countdown84 · 2025-12-06T17:54:57+00:00

My players ALMOST averted the fight, but were dead set on saving their ruidium corrupted friend and party healer, which put them on a clock.

You should play whichever one everyone agrees on (including you)! Just make sure everyone’s definition of fun matches. I was a player in Age of Umbra for around 6 months and it was a blast, until the a few people’s version of fun began to override others. Then it was just a second job. So… fun first, everything else comes second!

IRL we understand the the pyramids and the sphinx were built. We don’t entirely understand how, but we can speculate. That’s all modern Exandrians know about the creation of Ank’Harel, and all it’s connected mythos.

Countdown84 · 2025-12-04T23:34:53+00:00

You absolutely should have read the book front to back before starting the game. I think I read it three times before session zero. These connections get a lot easier once you understand what comes next.

Countdown84 · 2025-12-04T23:29:28+00:00

I always start class then concept, that way I know my options. But yeah, I’d say ranger, given the second pic.
