Nico and Gethin dive into the monster filled nights of Anadluria this week, and reminisce about our teen years and Kate Beckinsale.
We continue our mini series looking at the Campaign Frames in Hope & Fear, this week the fairy tale themed Curse of the Weredragon!
This week we discuss how we would take a system agnostic adventure and bring it into our games of Daggerheart. What steps would we take as GMs and what additional considerations would we have during prep and the game?Gethin: @thewelshdm Nico: @NicodeGallo === COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT - AMAZING ADVERSARIES & ENVIRONMENTS ===High above the clouds, scattered across a breathtaking chain of floating earthmotes, lies the Sky Isles—a secluded refuge where the disciplined Phoenix Monks have built a new life far from the world below.But peace here is fragile.The Sky Isles is a complete, ready-to-play Daggerheart location built around exploration, discovery, character-driven encounters, and a growing supernatural threat.

Daggerheart is still a young TTRPG, which means there's not a lot of official or unofficial content for it yet. So why not borrow from other systems?
World Building is a crucial element of TTRPG campaign design, but how much is too much? And how do you ensure you leave space for your players to add to the world as well?
