I've been enjoying Umbral overall, but this is the big criticism from my point of view. They're in a situation where they are putting out content that they KNOW will be used to judge and evaluate Daggerheart, yet the majority of them don't seem to be even passingly familiar with the rules...

As I mentioned in the other thread, something like a 50 Fathoms plot point frame is what leaps immediately to mind. Something like that would a great fit for Daggerheart IMO.

And, to emphasize what @nyvinter said, character death meant the player was done in this mini-series. No coming back in the next episode with a new character; that player was done and dusted. Considering the group was in episode 2, it's straight up bonkers that both of them chose the roll! I...

Completely agree about plot point campaigns; something along those lines would work great. Can you imagine 50 Fathoms for Daggerheart? I absolutely can!

Couldn't agree more. Stealing 75K from backers is bad, but he didn't take the money and disappear! He's still out there working in the TTRPG space for companies who, I can only assume, didn't do their homework before hiring him. If I recall correctly the Kickstarter was from 2014, so it's...

I thought episode 2 was more Daggerhearty than episode one. Tag team rolls, important rest choices, consequences for not balancing actions between players in combat, at least one combat combo that would have been difficult to pull off in an initiative based combat, and serious death choices.

Same; I'd love to see a Daggerheart module for Foundry.

I watched some of the game last night and for me the combat was really good. It didn't bother me that there was no initiative order and I like the HP/Armor/damage threshold thing.

I'll preface by saying I really like both of these systems. A lot. :) I think for me the flow is better in SW. I improvise better and keep things moving better. I'm more comfortable with not worrying about if there's a specific rule for something when I GM SW. Combat is faster in SW, and...

I think that's a difficult comparison to make. 13th Age is better at Fantasy, because that's its target. SW can handle almost any setting with just the core book, just not to the level of completeness (is that a word?) as a more targeted ruleset (like 13th Age, or SW with the Fantasy...

To expand on Reynard's post of the video, there are more videos that have been released today as well on YouTube. There's a character creation one and a session zero one as well, and there could be more I haven't seen.

Here's a video about it:

Of the published settings I've run: 50 Fathoms (my favorite) Accursed Frozen Skies Rippers Regime Diabolique But I've also run a Bureau 13 campaign and some one shots. I love the system. I feel like I can approach almost any setting with confidence that the system will do what I want it to...

Stras did Scum and Villainy IIRC. Edit: ninja'd! :)

Mark Hayen's King's Watch series is set in modern day England and has a character that has a sorcerous tablet ("sPad") as her focus.
