This is Roots and Daggers, an actual play, TTRPG podcast, using the Daggerheart system. We’re going back to the roots of TTRPG, where heroes rise, dice decide our fate and chaos is only 1 roll away. Our story takes place in the world of Soltherra. A world functioning with heroes who wield “the light”. Our 5 heroes have just graduated from the Hero program, but have ranked last….200/200th place. Will they rank up high enough go compete in the grand ascendance, a tournament of the generations best heroes? And will they learn what it means to be a hero? Find out in our podcast Roots and Daggers. We’re all first timers. I’m a first time DM and all of my players are first time players. We’ve done our best to bring you the most intriguing, action packed, comedy, drama, mystery adventure. We do make a lot of jokes, but there are times we reach sensitive topics. Please rate us and tell a friend, you’ll be our hero! See you at the ascendance!

In a world where the line between a hero’s rise and a catastrophic fall is as thin as the edge of a d20, the members of The Aston Menagerie & Tall Tails find themselves bound by more than just adventure. For the Menagerie, what begins as a Princely Pilgrimage quickly spirals into a journey across the kingdom of Ilsea and beyond, where forgotten secrets and ominous omens wait in every shadow. While for Tall Tails, A mercenary band named Murder Mittens has just decided to take a vacation and gets whisted away on a whirlwind adventure taking them across the entire world. From high-stakes royal balls to desperate searches for what has been lost, the party must rely on their wits—and their luck—to survive. As ancient powers stir and personal pasts begin to catch up with them, one question remains: When fate is on the line, will the dice be in their favor?

Session Forge is an offline game master toolkit for fantasy tabletop RPGs, made by Donald Stelling of Digital Underground. Instead of another long PDF, it is a single HTML hub that the GM opens in a web browser and uses at the table to prepare and run sessions. It holds 14 tools: encounters, NPCs, loot, initiative, session notes, dungeons, taverns, quests, rumors, villains, weather and travel, settlements, a one-click one-shot outline, and a short GM playbook. Tools for running the table - Encounter Forge builds fights on an XP budget set by party level, party size and difficulty (Easy to Deadly). Each encounter comes with a motive and a twist, and the creatures are drawn from 198 original 5e-style stat lines. - Initiative Tracker handles HP, AC, conditions, group adds and d20 rolls. Rounds and turn order save automatically, so combat survives closing the browser. Fights made in Encounter Forge can be sent straight into the tracker. - Session Notes saves as the GM types, offers random sparks for quick ideas, and keeps a full archive that can be restored. - GM Playbook explains how to use the tools live without slowing the game down. Generators - Full Session: a one-click one-shot outline with a hook, NPCs, a villain, a journey, two fights, a site, treasure and a twist. - NPC Generator: 8 naming cultures, plus role, voice, quirk, secret and adventure hook, and a "crowd of six" mode. - Loot Tables: common to very rare items, plus gems, art objects and 64 curses. - Taverns & Shops: taverns and shops with priced wares. - Dungeon Builder: dungeons of 3 to 12 rooms, with a boss scaled to the party. - Quest Hooks, Villain Forge and Settlements. - Rumor Mill: rumors with a GM-only truth rating. - Weather & Travel: 6 climates and 4 seasons. On every generator, the GM can lock a line and reroll the rest, go back through a saved history of the last 20 rolls, copy results as text or Markdown, download them as .md or .txt, and send them to Session Notes in one click. Seeds are repeatable, so the same seed always gives the same result. How it works The GM downloads a ZIP, opens index.html and bookmarks it for game night. After that one download, Session Forge runs fully offline with no account. Data is saved in the browser, and the home page has backup and restore. It works in a browser on desktop and on mobile. Systems and fit The stats are 5e-flavored so they feel familiar, and the content is easy to reskin for OSR games, Pathfinder or homebrew settings. All generator content is original; it is not a dump of official rulebook text. Session Forge suits GMs running 5e-compatible fantasy, one-shots and west-marches campaigns, and GMs who improvise and need ideas fast. It is not a virtual tabletop plugin: it runs locally in the browser and does not connect to Foundry VTT or Roll20. Price and license Session Forge is a one-time purchase from CAD$14.99 (pay what you want above that) on Gumroad. The license is personal, single-GM use. Version 2 raised the toolkit from 6 tools to 14, and earlier buyers get v2 free by downloading again; their v1 saves carry over.

Dungeons & Dragons 3rd Edition (D&D 3E) is a fantasy tabletop roleplaying game of dungeon delving and heroic adventure, published by Wizards of the Coast in 2000. It was the first edition the company released entirely itself, and the Player's Handbook went on sale on August 10, 2000, with its debut at Gen Con that month. Monte Cook, Jonathan Tweet and Skip Williams all contributed to the Player's Handbook, Dungeon Master's Guide and Monster Manual, and each then wrote one of the three books, with Tweet credited with the design of the Player's Handbook. The designers set out to simplify and declutter the whole system. "Advanced" was dropped from the title because the Basic game had been discontinued and the simpler name was more marketable, but it was still called the third edition. The system directly replaced Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Second Edition (1989). It was revised in 2003 as Dungeons & Dragons v.3.5, a deliberately small update. Description Players take on adventurers built from a race and a class, and the Dungeon Master (DM) runs dungeons, monsters and campaigns. The edition removed many of the old limits: restrictions on class and race combinations, and on level advancement for non-human characters, are gone. Combat expanded to include a grid system that supports tactical play and miniatures. The game asks a table to be comfortable with character building. Skills and feats give players more ways to customize a character than the older edition did, and the options keep growing with each rulebook. Reviewers at the time praised its art and tightly packed rules, and one called it the best combat-oriented roleplaying game available.
