Four young Poets--the realm of Lacuna's specially gifted guardians--embark upon a simple visit to a neighboring town, as part of their training. Surely, despite the strange omens they've all seen, things will go as planned...

WARNING: We curse in this one! The dice will do that to you.
Our heroes scramble to reckon with the strange force they've unleashed. As the Ward cracks around them, they must stretch their Poetic powers into territory fearful and new. They've never been tested before--can they step up and save people, including each other?
An action-packed episode (with some lore at the end).
As strange music heralds the arrival of the Rain Queen's court, our heroes find themselves separated.
Soren shows OrLeon what it's like to live amidst chaos; Ginny discovers yet another Duality; Evelyn is abandoned, but not alone; Lemma is faced at last with a choice he cannot ignore...but will he?
An RP-heavy episode, with some major players revealed.

Everyone loves a carnival! Our heroes aren't exactly in the mood, but then they don't exactly have a choice, as the Rain Queen's court has blown into town as it always does--unexpectedly. If only they truly thought this was all a coincidence...
Games of chance, mob unrest, and trying to figure out what it means for a person to be made out of your fr...
After Episode 4, Asteria and the players pause to talk through their level-up decisions. Almost NO SPOILERS or campaign familiarity required--just good clean system talk. (Plus some hard-hitting nostalgia around backpacks.)
Though Season 1 used the Daggerheart playtest, almost everything we discuss here is applicable to the official release rules! Carmela explains at top of the episode.
If you're not interested in the mechanical...
GM Asteria chats Daggerheart mechanics! Joined by Katie McLean Hainsworth and Jay Ben Markson after the debut episode of Queen of Daggers, Heart of Fire, and the Daggerheart system itself. Just three theater folk who love spreadsheets, trying not to get hit.
GM Asteria, in a solo episode, considers a hallmark of the Daggerheart system: Making GM Moves. A nerve-wracking prospect--especially when your players roll with Fear! Eight months after the Queen of Daggers, Heart of Fire campaign began, what has Asteria learned the hard way? What might she do differently? Our Episode 2 look back at our other Episode 2.
Because hindsight is 20-20--or, as we say in Daggerheart, 12-12.
Our Poets hit the road, and the books. Will unraveling Lacuna's past help them decide its future? And while they're choosing the realm's path, they'd better keep an eye on their own...

Jay Ben Markson as Lemma Katie McLean Hainsworth as Evelyn David Skeist as OrLeon Carmela Smith as Ginny and Asteria the Hag as Game Master
Carmela Smith (producer, editor, and hag-about-town) chats with her fellow player Jay Ben Markson about his PC's custom ancestry, and about how both Ginny and Lemma (their Queen of Daggers, Heart of Fire PCs) use the Orderborne community. A great discussion for anyone intereted in the mesh of mechanics and flavor/backstory in the Daggerheart system.
A jam-packed episode! Our Poets are caught in the thick of a shadowy ambush. In the aftermath, they'll learn things about Lacuna--and themselves--they never imagined.
The beginning of a big second arc. Who (and what) are the Shadowjacks? Where is the Sallow Ring, and why are generations of Poets drawn there? How many accents will Asteria attempt in just one session? Stay tuned.
