I agree. And I’m fine with that and I look forward to the VTT that MCDM is coming out with. I’ve been playing P2e for years on Foundry and it’s a really good experience, so much better than face-to-face (which is a mode of play that I prefer overall).

Ok, so I saw both eps of the Delian Tomb actual play. A level one fight between 5 PCs vs... 8 (?) minions and 2 (?) captains was close to 2 hours. "?" noted because I'm not positive of the numbers. And it wasn't like the players didn't know the rules. The GM was the lead designer, 3 players...

Not to be pedantic, but more as a warning to others... Derik's second live-stream on Draw Steel was nearly 8 hours.

My perhaps-unpopular opinion here is that I wouldn't have hired Steven Kenson as 4th edition's designer. I would have loved to have gotten a fresh designer's take on what M&M might be in 2025 rather than go with the same designer responsible for the previous 25 years worth of the game.

39 conditions?! No. Just… no.

If I'm a 5e player who's interested in much more tactical play, why would I go to Draw Steel and not simply Pathfinder 2e which has way more content at this point? This isn't a challenge to DS and I'm not trying to boost Pathfinder here. P2e is currently the biggest option for 5e players...

Grimwild winning Gold here for Best Free Product will maybe bring more attention to the fact that the creator - J.D. Maxwell -- has been missing for months.

The Sanderson fans love their merch. I think 95% of the people who bought into the original KS don't even care it's a game and have no plan to play. They just saw an official product and with new lore by Sanderson and they bought. It sounds like the game is decent redrafting of D20 which...

To answer the question at the top of the channel... Nowadays I only buy stuff that I'm going to use. My limit is $60 for a hardcover. $25 for a pdf. Anything over, and I'm out. So I see Draw Steel at $140-150 (honestly not sure which price, I've seen both) for two core books at retail...

No idea what they'll be using going forward but I think CR is done with 100+ session campaigns. And I don't mean because Daggerheart might not be able to handle that, but because viewership has greatly fallen off as the very-long campaigns have plowed on and I think MM wants to produce more...

To steer this thread in less weird direction than nitpicking about players forgetting items... It was a good, instructive moment when in... ep5? maybe ep6?... one of the PCs was trying to get across the battlefield and MM told them they would have to make an Agility roll to do so. Travis says...

Ugh

I don't have players losing their minds over the system because I have the virtue of having assembled a new group to play Daggerheart rather than trying to convert over anyone. So everyone I found is into these types of PbtA games or they've investigated DH enough that they're interested in...

It is not being released tomorrow as was the plan. They sent word to the patrons, not the backers, that the release would be delayed at least a week.

I agree, that does happen a lot. Luckily, my group and I played it first and then hated it.
