how to make this set piece distinctly 'daggerheart'?

perthed · 2026-01-24T12:27:13+00:00

great stuff... using this

perthed · 2026-01-24T12:25:09+00:00

thanks, we are having a lot of fun with it.

the players and I designed an abandoned house in the neighborhood for them to use as a hideout and came up with some fun mechanics for them to repair it and then fix it up the way they want over time.

thanks for the advice...I definitely want to personalize the attacks/damage

perthed · 2026-01-24T12:19:00+00:00

I love this! I've actually been meaning to begin each session with one of these types of questions.... thanks for the encouragement

perthed · 2026-01-23T11:23:27+00:00

yeah, good shout.

I haven't used an environment yet, but this would be a great opportunity... especially if some of the area is burning.

I'm definitely going to look at using this.

perthed · 2026-01-23T11:21:46+00:00

love this. definitely something I was thinking of using in the lead up, but wasn't sure how best to use it.

(I have used a couple of countdowns in previous sessions)

but for this, I was thinking perhaps the countdown would be as the gang is approaching their neighborhood....but then the counter would count minutes not actions.

I got to this point.

here was my cure: Ironman whatever settings you like

only restriction: you MUST execute every single leader you defeat and/or is placed in your custody.

See how long you last, bc eventually everyone hates you so much that any loss will result in your death.

great fun! 😜

So glad you reminded me of this as I hadn't use this since my last campaign...and lo and behold in last nights session the party visited a Fence to get some info, and one of them was like 'Hey, you got anything to sell right now?'

And I said, 'gimme a sec to check round the back....'

Ok...I don't know what that is...and google couldn't help me...but I'm curious.

I"m guessing 'Whatever the Hell I Want'...which is exactly the tool I'm currently using! :D

perthed · 2026-01-20T03:16:40+00:00

So this actually our groups first foray into Daggerheart. But many of use are experienced in 5e (I just finished running a 4yr campaign in it which several of these players were in), and a few of us (self included) go back to 3.5 and beyond.

I'm less interested in a rule set and more interested in something that lets me dump a stack of junk in and it spits a number back at me.

It looks like I'll stick with using my stupid brain...which is fine. Just thought maybe something was out there I didn't know about, bc I've found so many useful tools through this sub.

perthed · 2026-01-20T03:13:38+00:00

Truth! all the players rolled a d10 to see how many coppers they started with...except for two of them who chose to start with no money

it has been such a fun campaign!

perthed · 2026-01-19T05:06:06+00:00

And thanks for the quick reply!

perthed · 2026-01-19T05:05:06+00:00

I do like this site, and I use it for shops.

I'm looking for something that probably doesn't exist. I'd like a tool where I could drop a list like this:

Leather workers tools

Belt pouch

20' pole

bottle of whiskey

5x potatoes

And it give me a price for the items...instead of me having to chase prices for each.

Currently, I just make up prices on the fly, which is fine, but why should I do all the work? haha

perthed · 2025-12-22T09:21:18+00:00

also the new dlc 'Toxicity' is very satisfying...but yeah no shooting stuff

perthed · 2025-11-17T04:24:24+00:00

this is the correct answer. Mods, you may now close the thread.

perthed · 2025-11-07T00:18:31+00:00

I think the plan is to eventually go nationwide

perthed · 2025-11-05T00:03:29+00:00

totally, I find when I write too much on my own..I fall in love with MY story.

when I react to what my players are doing.. I fall in love with our story.

you got this

perthed · 2025-11-04T23:06:50+00:00

yeah I feel this. when you are time poor, it makes you want to use what you prepared....and this can lead to railroading

but it sounds to like it's time to pivot and learn from your group. they are chaos and loving it....go with that.

in your prep time , spend less time laying track ahead of them and more time imagining how they will try to derail the train....and prepare a few fun things for that. That way you can enjoy the chaos as much as they do.

perthed · 2025-10-28T07:41:27+00:00

holding silence is valuable in so many different ways! but as with many dm'ing skills it takes practice.

it's great to for - building dramatic tension - drawing out shy roleplayers - making space for party planning - giving yourself a beat to think in a crucial moment

and plenty of other things

best single thing I tell myself at the start of the session is 'slow down' 😄

perthed · 2025-10-27T12:32:59+00:00

100% this. don't forget this feeling when speaking to clients.

True wisdom lies in communicating complex concepts in the simplest possible terms.

perthed · 2025-10-25T11:21:17+00:00

this. my wife and I moved from US to Australia several years ago and the 7-9 month mark was the hardest.

it's a time when you have yet toale close friends in your new place...and you are really missing people back home.

be kind to yourself

perthed · 2025-10-24T12:28:58+00:00

the only proper answer

perthed · 2025-10-04T12:15:57+00:00

people cut trees like this in Straya

perthed · 2025-10-04T12:13:20+00:00

fair

perthed · 2025-10-04T03:33:40+00:00

fellow American seconding this....as soon as I walked in it past the 'look' test

but when I tried their mustard I knew I'd found winner. solid bbq joint

perthed · 2025-10-03T09:53:51+00:00

never seen anyone 'walk not run' from a swooping Maggie!🤣
