On one hand sure, its fine to just stick to what we like. But you seem to have missed the point of my point you quoted = personal attacks are a problem and pathetic. I assume and state nothing about others engagement with a game, and he should too. And no, I disagree. There needs to be a...

Oh, no no no. We are not done with Daggerheart yet. And we have not played a full campaign of Cosmere yet. Lots more play to come! :D I don't want to get into Daggerheart discussion in this thread (it was only intended as a perspective comment earlier, and too many people are...

It's a long list... But her are my to favs. Some of which are "in the rotation" regularly... - Pendragon (current new edition): this game has simple rules, characterful characters, and a very well utilized Trait and Passion system that let me feel like my character has different opinions...

This is very much what I am also thinking. Personally, I don't need the whole concept of high fantasy utterly re-written. And I don't necessarily want only RPGs that are entirely different than D&D. I love what PBTA improved upon in roleplaying. I love what Blades in the Dark improved in...

Good job at being another person who didn't give a good reason. And made laughably wrong assumptions. With good friends of mine co-authoring Daggerheart, quite the opposite - we had high hopes.

Oh heck no! We are playing Wraith the Oblivion, and Star Wars, and Final Fantasy 8. After playing Infinity, L5R, Conan, Mork Borg and a bunch of other great games. We roleplay 2 to 3 times a week for 4 hours each - every week. I have a lot longer list of RPGs I love than hate. But some...

I like these questions! I am not here to sell folks on Cosmere, so this is just me liking that question and trying to answer it for myself ... A. For me... D&D is a miserable system. It has terrible combat that is sooo tedious. It has no social rules, and there is zero support for...

Good point! I have been tracking Cosmere because of the system its self. I wanted to see how an author with no RPG mechanic design pedigree would make what is one of the hardest games to make = high fantasy. I think the rules are fantastic. It's open enough to define your Cosmere You...

No.... I am saying that I know nothing about any Sanderson book, never ready any. And picking up the Cosmere rpg, and making characters and talking plots and reading its campaign books = was easy. I never felt like I was reading an RPG that was missing info to the point I needed to go read a...

I personally call BS on all claims to people being scared off by IP or lore or metaplot. Warhammer does fine, there are good sales, and plenty of indication that new players are joining all the time. Even those who have never seen, let alone played the wargame. Cthulhu is a classic example...

Again, thank you, that was awesome and very clear. Sounds like Group Advantage is good stuff. :D

Wonderful reply, thanks so much for the details! Can you talk more to this I snipped above? What do mean by many unnecessary bonuses? What were they and why do you feel they were unnecessary?

I have question = How do you feel about the way the game handles modifiers to rolls. (such as "+10 bonus to Casting and Channelling rolls when in a rural or wilderness environment") Do you feel that players are often forgetting bonuses to their rolls from various sources? Are there times...

That was a useful link, thanks so much! - Over Tier 6? heck we took a year of playing every night for 4 hours, every week for 12 months to reach tier 6... barely.... are people really ripping through tiers that fast? after a year, i am ready for a new game or new character :P But... what...

That part about this announcement that DOES confuse and has the potential to irk me = I just received from MC games, by copy of High Noon at Midnight. And now they are telling me it will not be part of the new rules update only a year away? But why? The kickstarter was last year, so its...
