Our DaggerHunt campaign recently went on a mid- to long-term hiatus because one of the players needs a step back. I figured it'd be a good time to give some reflections on running a 33-session Daggerheart campaign. So! Here are some reflections in no particular order,

Alternative title: Rocks Fall; Who Dies? 💡The Sly Flourish Discord has a lot of great RPG discussions, resources, people, and more. It's one of my favorite places on the internet. Go there! I've kept names of people there out of this post, but if you were
I'm a bit of a "forever GM," as they say [Ed. note: who? who says this?], someone who ends up in the role of Game Master (or Dungeon Master or Referee) most of the time. (I'm a forever GM because I like being a
Editor's Note: I run a Drakkenheim 5E campaign every other Thursday; this week, we had some player absences, so I pivoted to teaching the present players my favorite RPG: Delta Green! Drakkenheim recaps will resume in January 2026. One of the things I enjoy is roleplaying in the
