Here's the VOD on YouTube for today's stream on How to Create Dynamic Battles in Daggerheart.

I also surprise announced "Sharing Spotlight", a video sub-series where I will talk about other RPGs (and maybe random other stuff) that I think are cool. This is with the hope of sharing my excitement and interest in other games to bring them more attention. The first "Sharing Spotlight" stream will probably be next week.
