I am surprised I am still excited for Daggerheart

I'm sorry if my response is not to your liking, but it is my genuine gut reaction to seeing the cover. I can say more at length if you would like, but I also didn't want to be too critical about it in a thread for people excited about the game itself.

It just took me aback. But you are certainly allowed to feel how you feel. Mea culpa.

So that's the cover of Daggerheart? Meh.

I'm totally on board with a cover that puts a Starcraft hydralisk front and center

I have decided I want to run Daggerheart at one of the big regional cons I run games at regularly this spring. Hopefully it ships before the end of April.

Now I just have to decide whether to go big, or just get the core set.

I was messing around with character creation again on Demiplane. I guess I was a few beta updates behind because the new options all seem great and flavorful.

I still don't think I'm going to end up pre ordering it, as I still want to see reviews on the final product. But I think am "interested" in this again.

Late to the party here but...

This is how I've felt mostly about assorted 'special' and 'limited' covers. I often avoid special editions because they have blander covers than than the normal art. That's how I felt here - the cover we're discussing is the regular one. The limited one that's almost $100 more is, to my eyes, a lot less interesting. I 'showed up too late' to order it, and I'm almost glad for that. Sure I missed some of the cool things in the set but I'm kind of glad I'm "stuck" with the cover you disliked.

I pre-ordered a few days ago, have been watching assorted videos about Daggerheart, and have been a little surprised that it seems to have dropped off the 'hype radar' as far as I can tell. Not many YouTubers, forums, etc ranting about it these days.

I'd dismissed it back in the first release of the playtest because of the lack of an initiative system. I've kind of come around now, but it's mostly other things driving my personal hype. Including something that likely makes no sense to anyone but me - that it has 'Faun' as a core PC ancestry.

But it will sit in a weird place in head-canon as a Pathfinder 2E GM and player; Daggerheart is a near polar opposite of my normal tRPG space, but seems to have the 'right tools' to address the things that have kept me away from more 'loose' systems.

And I know this post of mine is 'coming out of left field' in a semi-dead thread. This is the topic that popped when I searched for Daggerheart here. I guess the hype is also 'over and done with' in EnWorld also.

I'm hoping that everyone is waiting for the full release (May 20 for those of us who preordered, June-ish for retail), to start shoveling more coal into the hype train.

I was following the project just because it had the chance to become 'the next big thing' and along the way fell in love, so excited to see any activity in the space.

I waited to long and now the premium edition is sold out.

Deleted. Didn't realise I had already replied this thread back in January.

I am surprised I now have received a shipping notification that the core set will soon ship.

And Thud! it landed today.
