Just discovered the sublime podcast actual play Queen of Daggers, Heart of Fire from @hagdealgaming.bsky.social and I’m enjoying every episode so far. They’ve got a companion podcast called Duality Bites. If you’re into Daggerheart like I am, it’s awesome to find quality 3rd party podcast support.

We realized the second half of last night's chat episode wasn't spoiler-y, so here it is on its own for those truly CRAVING some Duality Bites!

Jay Ben and Asteria talk about all the pre-campaign work (and general years of gaming together) that laid the groundwork for their dramatic improv around Lemma's backstory. NB: Lots of spoilers since we talk about the intense emotional scenes from the most recent QoD episodes!

"Hey GM how do you come up with all those NPCs?"

Hag Deal Gaming @hagdealgaming.bsky.social · Sep 16

Dearest Listeners, this one's special. Huge revelations, wrenching vulnerability, flirty arm wrestling...a lot can happen at a Shadowjack wake.

The halfway point of the season, and it cracks the storytelling open in a way we never could have planned.

It's a great place to find new APs to listen to, AND actual games to play in! They're devoted to non-D&D systems and there are a lot of people running Daggerheart one-shots and short campaigns. HIGHLY recommend.

Hag Deal Gaming @hagdealgaming.bsky.social · Sep 9

Very cool news! The folks at Talking Crit are hosting us on their Discord server for any and all fan chat about "Queen of Daggers, Heart of Fire."

Hard to ask for a lovelier community. If you're a QoD fan, remember to tag yourself Dread Poets Society :)

Sometimes the Internet and the real world are equally baffling so we put on our evil queen crown and we make fun things out of spite.
