Three Dials To Tune Daggerheart Solos
- For Daggerheart solo difficulty, three main dials are hit points, Relentless activations, and Momentum to regain fear.
- Use these to extend action economy without bloating encounter time or adding many monsters.
Prioritize Water Food And Sleep At Cons
- Prioritize Maslow basics at conventions: bring water, food, and sleep.
- Pack two bottled waters, takeout or grocery food, and aim for regular sleep to avoid exhaustion during multi-day events.
Protect Your Voice And Pace Your Games
- Protect your voice and health when running multiple convention games: bring throat lozenges, wear good shoes, and limit heavy run days.
- Run one long game a day or separate long sessions by a rest day to avoid blowing your voice.
