Roots and Daggers

Updates & news

For anyone who wants to try us out and is hearing our audio quality. Know that we are going back and improving it. We just re uploaded episode 4 with better audio quality and working our way backwards so you don’t start with episode 1, sounds good, then episode 2 sounds terrible. We will eventually re-release 1-3 and give you the audio quality and the sound effect you deserve!!! Also by episode 7 imo is where our group really find there stride and their chemistry. But highly recommend listening to earlier episodes. There are JUICY small details that are small ripples…for now!!!
Hey heroes, so we just released episode 7 and 8. This has started our new little adversary arc of the thought stealer, one of the 4 legendary masks. Amongst the players and listeners, it’s been a BIG HIT. It’s thanks to many factors. For 1, the players roleplaying has improved tremendously, the way they interact with the environment and their gameplay mechanics have straight up IMPROVED. The Dm has a really good direction on how to explain the back stories of each PC narratively, then just doing a “flash back”. We just concluded this arc in our episode 10. We’re all very happy and proud of our work and we hope you are enjoying it as well!

Overview

This is Roots and Daggers, an actual play, TTRPG podcast, using the
Daggerheart https://groupfinder.gg/library/daggerheart-2025
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!

Everyday Heroes

Rules-medium
Modern
Heroic
Everyday Heroes is a modern-day action roleplaying game designed by Sigfried Trent, Chris "Goober" Ramsley, and D. Todd Scott, with Jeff Grubb - co-designer of Wizards of the Coast's original d20 Modern - serving as design consultant. Published by Evil Genius Games following a 2022 Kickstarter, it takes the 20-year-old d20 Modern concept and rebuilds it entirely on the 5th Edition SRD chassis: same six ability-driven hero archetypes, same "why play an elf wizard when you can play Rambo" pitch, but running on rules 5e players will recognize instantly.  The line has grown around a string of officially licensed cinematic settings - Escape from New York, Highlander, The Crow, Pacific Rim, Kong: Skull Island, Total Recall - letting the system double as an action-movie conversion kit as much as a standalone game.

High Guard Rules

English
Traveller
High Guard Rules brings Classic Traveller's Book 5: High Guard starship construction and combat rules to the web. Ship Designer walks you through building a warship from the keel up — hull, jump and maneuver drives, power plant, computer, weapons, and screens — following the Book 5 construction sequence, with every calculation (tonnage, energy points, agility, cost) handled for you automatically. Combat Arena lets you pit your designed ships against another player, or fly solo against an AI opponent — resolving the full Book 5 ship-to-ship combat sequence round by round: Battle Formation, Initiative, Range, Pre-Combat Decisions (break-off, emergency agility, surrender), Combat, Damage, Breakthrough Combat, Pursuit, and a Terminal step for boarding, repair, and crew transfer. Ship Library keeps your saved designs on hand, and Meeting Room is where you find another player and start a battle. Whether you're building a fleet, sparring with the AI, or working through a firefight against another captain, this site handles the math so you can focus on the tactics.
