So, just up there I was saying that I probably wouldn't push the spreadsheet any further. See that? I was weak. I couldn't resist.
I fixed it up and threw the entirety of the Daggerheart Void in there. It might be getting a little cluttered...
Character Creation Cheat Sheet for Daggerheart
Alright, roughest version of this spreadsheet that I will release.
Not to replace the SRD, but includes pretty much everything the SRD has to guide you through character creation. I think being able to see the steps in the process and the truncated info for the choices as well as a place to record your picks all on the same page is really useful.

This is a legitimate 5e d&d character race I made ages ago for my book Grimdark & Dangerous. I wanted there to be a new race option for each monster type that didn't have a good option and this was for constructs (iirc) (and yes, I ignored warforged as constructs for reasons).
Tumblr media
Dumbass RPG character idea:
A roguishly handsome adventurer who otherwise doesn't seem to much care for maintaining his rugged good looks, but is comically particular of his iconic ridiculous hat, which he never takes off. Like, ever. He sleeps with the hat tilted over his eyes, won't remove it indoors even at a dining table, bathes while wearing it. Nobody wants to know how the hell he washes his hair. Telling him to remove the hat is an absolute dealbreaker - if any place demands that he removes the hat before stepping inside, he'll rather wait outside by the door while the rest of the party does their business inside. It's obnoxious but what are you gonna do.
Then, when trapped in a situation where the party must either sacrifice one of its members or all will die, the guy volunteers, on one condition: the party must take his precious hat, and give it to someone worthy. Ideally someone spectacularly handsome who will look good in it, but he'd rather have anyone at all wear it, than nobody at all. Nobody in the party, though - none of them are allowed to wear his hat. Baffled but grateful, the party agrees to his conditions.
Some time later, once the rest of the party has escaped, they slap the hat on the first person they encounter and deem sufficiently fitting. The person freezes in shock, blinks twice, and suddenly shifts their stance to a familiar posture, sighing "oh thank the gods, you actually fucking did it", in a new voice but a familiar style and intonation. The character was never The Guy, it's a demon bound to the hat, who possesses whoever is wearing the garment.

Version 1.4 of the sheet is now available.
I'm debating whether I want to expand on this more and add more content from the Daggerheart Void. I know there are three more WIP classes and more WIP community options, but adding on that many new things would require renovating the build sheet pretty drastically. I could do it, but if people aren't really using the sheet there isn't much incentive.

Ya'll...
I've been adding armor info on to the DaggerHeart character creation assistant sheet. And I figured out how to more easily reference named ranged in formulas without using indirect (because indirect means I have to have exact names with underscores and it looks ugly), just by doing extended ifs with named ranges instead of specified cell ranges.
And I just spent like 30 minutes trying to figure out why my solution worked for all the listed armors except chainmail. Everything was spelled right. Everything was formatted right.
EXCEPT THERE WAS ONE EXTRA SPACE AT THE END OF THE TEXT IN THE CELL AND IT REGISTERED ON THE DROPDOWN MENU!
Anyway. Problem solved. New update for the spreadsheet coming soon. Trying to make it look a little prettier. That's all. Have a nice day folks.

“The old magic persists thanks to it’s unfathomable power.”
No, the old magic persists because the new magic can’t run the legacy spells I need to do my job, and keeps trying to install spirits I don’t want or need onto my orb.

The news are out! I've been given the great honor to work for WARFRAME & Paizo Inc. in their new collaboration!
Extremely grateful to the Digital Extremes team for their love and support and for giving me this opportunity. This means the world to me! Warframe is one of my favorite games of all time and I still cannot believe that I got to work on such a cool project. Thank you so much! 💜⚡

If you wanted to fiddle around with what that might look like stats wise, I have a character building spreadsheet for DH on my blog... Somewhere. Not that hard to find I just don't want to make link to it cus I'm lazy.
There is a slight chance that I might get to play Daggerheart in the coming months and my brain will not stop going Monkey Rogue Monkey Rogue Monkey Rogue MONKEY ROGUE

So sick of the fantasy trope where humans are the dominant race and are so cool and are everywhere. Fuck that. In my setting, kobolds are the most common race. Those little guys are everywhere.

So I fundamentally misunderstood the core dice mechanic of Daggerheart, made a lengthy post about how the major VTT platforms had formatted their dice rolling badly because they were doing it wrong, and none of y'all called me out on it?
What kind of world are we living in where I can be so fundamentally wrong and I don't get dragged through the street for it, come on guys. You can do better than this.
I do still fully believe that the Nexus/Demiplane (and associated roll20) dice roller is crap because they implemented a "reroll" feature to repeat specific rolls for "okay, no, do it again" situations and the reroll button can only ever result in the exact same outcome as the original... and also the dice roller lets you add as many advantage and disadvantage dice as you want without canceling out or imposing a limit.

Me, sweating nervously and scooting out of the room, muttering "I'll finish the MacGuffin heist module eventually... I just got caught up in other projects and I hate actually writing the modules out."
The more I think on it, and I know this greatly differs from what people have come to expect in recent years, but to me a TTRPG with no adventure modules is like booting up a video game and finding out the devs didn’t make any levels. Like I wanted to play this but I guess we’ll have to wait until someone in the group, who may have never played the game before, spends a not-insignificant amount of their free time in the level-editor throwing something together for us to play.

This is really cool actually. The dice roller still seems off to me, but you'd really have to code a propose build roller to get a genuinely functional one. I like how bare bones it is compared to Demiplane, they had way too much artsy coating it gave me a headache.
This is good. I think I'd be inclined to recommend foundry for Daggerheart based on this.
Hey, I have foundry VTT, do you want me to send you some screenshots of what the daggerheart system looks like in it? It's community-made, but it looks pretty decent, and it separates the dice.
Yes actually, please share this. If it actually handles the system well it will be the first I've seen do so.

Updated link for the spreadsheet. The sheet now contains details for all classes and subclasses, details for level 1 domain options (attached to each class), and details for all heritage options.
(hopefully I did it right this time and don't need to redo this post again).
