I've been away from the forum for a while and just recently came back, but I had left exactly because of what @Hussar mentioned. I would block a lot of the incredibly negative posters, because I really don't have the emotional energy to just hear about how much people hate X, Y, or Z, but even...

I remember hearing a lot about the release of the earlier edition SRDs into CC but it was always third hand for me. I went ahead and found at least one instance where it came up: funny enough, it was in a talk between Bob and Kyle Brink. That link should take you to 16:07, where Kyle says...

I think of all of Sanderson's books that I've read, I've liked Warbreaker the best. It's wild to me that he just has it up for free!

Apologies. I meant “guy” as in the post, not “guy” as in the person. That was unclear given how I wrote it.

In trying to think of video games that have X/Day powers, I can literally only think of Elder Scrolls racial abilities.

If there was more conversation about how to make props for games, different ways to structure notes, you know, actual productive things instead of gatekeeping about who "looks like a wizard" and whether mechanics for X game are somehow breaking what it means to "actually roleplay," TTRPG corners...

-The Final Fantasy series of games, broadly. The tenth game in the series was particularly formative for me, and the recent sixteenth installment was inspiring. The Elder Scrolls series of games, particularly in its presentation of esoteric lore in the third installment. A Knight's Tale, the...

Going through Ginny's videos, I see: Tips on building characters together in session zero to have pre-existing connections to help fuel roleplay. Common problems people have when DMing, from not setting expectations for the table, not being flexible with rules, or communicating things poorly...

Here’s the main reason I like Fear specifically: it’s a very easy way to make every roll feel like it has consequences in a concrete way. Sure, in my playtest session when a player rolled with Fear, I hinted at an off screen complication to foreshadow the boss fight, but I also gained a Fear...

Ginny Di, cynical and pessimistic in general? I can't think of a single person in the space who seems more positive about just about any and everything.

Can you walk me through how you got to such high pools of fear? I want to make sure I’m not making mistakes, my campaign starts this week after everyone loved the one shot. My players role play, investigate, get going, and over the course of 10 rolls build up a statistically average pool of 4...

I’m not sure that would adjust it too much once combat starts, just because once someone fails or rolls with fear, it’s the GMs turn to start spending down. You weren’t waiting for a failure to start having monsters go, right? Even a success with fear let’s you start spending action tokens and...

I find it really interesting how different our experiences here have ended up! I was going into fights with only 3-4 fear to start, and I was making sure to spend down whenever PCs rolled with fear and gave me the reins. I wonder if you’re maybe calling for more action rolls outside of combat...

Between spending fear to give enemies advantage, boost their damage, add two action tokens to the tracker, or complicate the situation, I don’t think I ever had more than four fear during my first playtest.

Is anyone implying otherwise? I'm not seeing anyone here saying that people that enjoy 5E are being duplicitous.

Hey @Minigiant, I appreciate you whipping together an example of what you're talking about! You might need to adjust the share settings so anyone with link can see the character, the link as is takes me directly to the Nexus "make a character" launch page, not to the character you made.

I took this as a no, so I went ahead and did my best to do my worst. https://app.demiplane.com/nexus/daggerheart/character-sheet/718d4ea7-9e18-40a0-bd99-2b1922015e54 First, I'd like to note, I don't think I've ever played with someone who would go this out of their way to make someone bad at...

I’m curious, would you be willing to make this theoretical utility character that shouldn’t be using actions in combat? Even the most RP forward characters I’ve thrown together on Nexus have had pretty rad things they could be doing in a conflict, and I want to make sure we’re not discussing...

I largely disagree with a lot of your points and think that they’re trying to systematize away problems that wouldn’t exist at my tables (can only speak for myself)… …but every character I’ve made to see how things progress over time, from my social focused knight from the lower planes to my...
