Mostly actual play from online tabletop games, played on Roll20. Also random other stuff.

Doyce Testerman
We return to the village of Hush (after a month off to rework our virtual table top). Everything is working better and we're all locked in for a happy little party where no one is being mean and nothing can go wrong.

Yeah. about that...
You've been asking, so let's talk about why to try Daggerheart (from a non-DnD POV).
Our heroes (with a guest heroing from Jamie) defend the village of Hush while the Arcanist gets the protective wards back up.

2025 08 03
Kiki, Nonny, and Stoat arrive at Hush, and find out how the town has been able to avoid both the Witherwild and Haven troops for the last two years - magical wards.

Then they... well. You'll see.
We join our heroes in route to the village of Hush, escorting a cart full of weapons.

Character generation.
Another "one shot" (ha) with my family over summer break.

This time, we're playing Psi*Run, about supers on the run from a shadowy organization.

We missed the Prologue, and picked up after character generation and the inciting "Crash" incident.
I started off the year with a truly new #ttrpg experience - one of my kids ran a game for ME! First time that's EVER happened.

We played #Runecairne and she damned near killed me. It was great.

(We didn't TOTALLY separate the player/warden roles in this, because part of the reason we were doing this was so I could teach her to GM, so we did a two-person game (Runecairne is great for this) and a scenario I'd already run with Sean, and had open on my screen to spot any gotchas and give her tips.)
