The Exploration player is the oft forgotten, but perhaps most important element of a heroic fantasy TTRPG, and Daggerheart provides a wealth of tools to explore this pillar of play. But even the best of us still can struggle with it, so we discuss our tips for running interesting, compelling, evocative Exploration in Daggerheart.

=== COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT - CRYPT OF THE NEKROLYCH ===
A Villain Frame for Daggerheart that brings the ancient NekroLych to life in your games, by Tomas Gimenez Rioja
You already know what a Campaign Frame is. Now, a Villain Frame is the same, except it puts a villain as its main point. The primary villain, in this case the NekroLych, becomes the Big Bad Evil of the campaign you port this Villain Frame to, and gives you everything you need to know about its backstory, motives, and plans to not only have a villain, but a compelling 3-dimensional villain your players will absolutely love to hate!
