Flattening an image, I can see that with just a normal program of some sort. I can't wrap my head around how a program would be able to do 2D to 3D without AI or a relatively healthy amount of definitions inputted by the user.
Agreed. It just hasn't been worth the trade off, though Dungeon Alchemist is really impressive.
Another thing that 3D VTTs have to fight against is that not everyone has a computer that can even run them, even as just a player.
Certainly could have been part of the genesis for Sigil. I think a lot of people like the idea of a 3D VTT, but in practice I've found that they don't add much to the overall experience when taking into account all the background work you have to do for each session.
Thanks! I really appreciate the response, Retreater. I may end up picking it up anyway as, like Voadam, I think that fantasy Africa sounds more interesting to me then fantasy Asia.
Does that book have any areas inspired by North Africa? My wife is Moroccan and I've noticed a lot of fantasy books inspired by Africa really just mean "inspired by sub-Saharan Africa" and sees North Africa ignored or lumped in with fantasy western asia.
It's funny, I was just thinking the other day how a game like a Neverwinter Nights 3 would be great for the brand, especially if they continued to put out content (even monetized) that allowed players to get that toolbox feeling again.
I honestly thought Sword Coast Legends was going to be an...
This all makes sense to me. I would love to see a broader level of synergy across the brand, but not at the expense of any one part of it and definitely not at the expense of the tabletop game itself.
Pokemon is a good example of a franchise that often self-sabotages it's video game...
I would have totally watched a Daggerheart campaign 4, but I'm totally fine with them using D&D and a West Marches campaign sounds awesome!
All that being said, I think it will be perceived as a lack of confidence in Daggerheart by the DH fans, and I think it will hurt the game in the long run.
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.
