To be fair, wikipedia is a lot better source than many others because of how rigorous its standards are. The sun’s not hot unless you can cite primary sources. It’s got its problems, of course it does, but it’s far more reliable than any LLM.

They basically don’t count. The US might as well be a third-world country when it comes to how the working class is treated. The single largest category of theft in the US is wage theft, where your employer simply doesn’t pay you for various reasons, and it’s also the least likely to see any...

The stupidity is very real. It’s the intelligence that’s artificial.

I think my favorite oracle so far is the simple 1d6 and the yes, and ladder. Roll an extra die if there's dis/advantage. Don't need much beyond that. Or the Yes And system that was proposed and dropped for Adventure Time. 1d6 for success/failure and one of those nerdy-ass Fate dice for a...

That's one big benefit of reverse engineering the math. In 5E, if everything's balanced where it should be, as long as the player rolls 8+ on their d20, they succeed. Whatever the PC's level or the monster's CR, 99% of the time, their AC will be exactly 8 + the assumed progression of PC ability...

Titan Forge is going to do a Kickstarter for Dragonbane minis. Launch page already up. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/titanforgeminis/dragonbane-rpg-miniatures-northern-beasts

Happy treason, terrorism, and guerrilla warfare day.

I think it’s a bit of a loaded way to phrase things. It’s not that all these steps are done by the same person. In Daggerheart, the player rolls 2d12 + mods then reports that to the referee. The referee determines if it hits or misses then reports that to the player. The player rolls damage and...

You could probably do about the same with three Fate dice. Two of one color and one of another. The solo Fate die is yes, maybe, no. The other two are and, [blank], but. Get two +s or -s and that’s double ands or buts.

TIL the average empire survives 250 years. That gives me far more hope than it should.

This is a plus thread. If y'all wanna argue about the system, kindly take it elsewhere.

Absolutely. But they didn't know what the license would be so no idea if they would or should sink development time into it. Plus all the time and money for the art.

The CR US shop has boxless copies available. Just the book and loose cards in a bag. https://shop.critrole.com/products/boxless-daggerheart-standard-bundle

Let’s no gloss over the Kickstarter lead-in time. Kelsey was up front about the license and it’s in plain English. No real need for a lawyer. CR was not up front about the license, only revealed it after the launch, I believe, and it’s in legalese. So you definitely should talk to a lawyer...

I wonder how long until this becomes reality in the US.
