Fair enough. I just don't think $50 is quite in the impulse buy category, especially as peoples' purchasing power has been eroding.
The set itself looks awesome, I'm not disputing that, the content looks exactly as you say. I'm just unsure as to whether the price point will turn people away...
While I completely understand the external reasons why the price may be so high, I can't see $50 being in the range of a "Well, let's go ahead and try it," purchase for many people. I'm sure the contents are worth it, but that's to us, the hardcore TTRPG fans.
I don't think anyone is saying that Darrington Press is going to completely abandon 5E, but they would be remiss to not focus on Daggerheart, say 75% DH and 25% 5E.
I knew when I made that reply that somebody would point out how Shadowdark is a little more than an OSR game. :) I agree, but I don't think it is enough so to do anything other than denote it as OSR to anyone that isn't hyper-aware of the differences.
Daggerheart certainly isn't going to cater...
Shadowdark is popular in the OSR space, but I don't think it really makes a dent in Pathfinder or D&D. Just my take.
I could certainly see Daggerheart taking Pathfinder's spot as the number two tabletop RPG if they make the right moves.
Yes but, correct me if I'm wrong, all of Fantasy Flight's RPG products are now under Edge Studio so it is one or two subsidiaries down from Asmodee itself.
This was the first D&D product I ever received and was my first exposure to D&D. Played that for several years before stumbling upon the D&D 3rd Edition Player's Handbook. This set holds a lot of nostalgia for me and I snapped it up quickly when they finally released it on DriveThruRPG.
I think it's that and also a little bit of "I don't think it's as problematic as people are making it out to be," at least that's what I get from the previous "building bridges" remarks.
I think a medieval fantasy version of My Hero Academia would be neat.
Perhaps there is a larger, adventurers guild kind of organization that spans across multiple countries or continents. The party first has to become accredited guild members and then they go off on adventures solving all...
Yes, that's been reported in this thread somewhere. Like I said earlier, I have doubt that they didn't have these plans, and I think the additional plans with JG only turned to "no plans" due to the backlash they have received since the outset.
