I'm tentatively excited for the Netheril story, it's an age (Arcane Age) which really interests me as a DM and player. My concern is that Wizards have previously expressed that they don't really consider the older lore to be 'canon' if it's not fifth edition, and there's so much in this setting...

The language tightened up a bit, things like the 'Action Tracker' were simplified (tokens) but on the whole I think it's pretty similar. I do agree that it's improved for release, I think it's a good product, but I'm very excited to see what a 'v2' of Daggerheart has to offer, when it's had a...

It does seem like a good optional rule; I actually quite like a lot of the optional rules and think they should have been standard, gold units, standard distances, all those are good. I didn't feel like we needed the token rule at my table because we're quite well balanced, but I did get...

Ah okay, so unsubstantiated right now but a high likelihood? I will keep an eye out for an email. :cry:

Was this actually confirmed or is this a guess? I might have to sell my ticket if it was. Edit: I can't find anything on this claim, if someone could validate, I would appreciate it. I would rather my ticket go to someone who wants to watch Daggerheart.

Yeah, I get that, it was a bit of a pop at all the headlines (not exclusively from any one outlet) touting 'DaGgErheARt SoLD oUt!' without the nuance. Your comment alone is more informative than 90% of the reactionary YouTube videos made on the subject. The original comment I replied to was the...

I was able to find this from a shop two days after it had 'sold out' so I'm not sure what the metric for this was. All companies will fudge their numbers though pose news in the most positive light. Sadly the binding quality was quite lacking (same reports as others on the Darrington Discord.)...

This specifically will be very disappointing if true.

This is very valid too in my opinion, and probably the reason they're dammed if they do, and dammed if they don't. Equally, they can't just do the same thing from now until they die, that would be tedious and stale.

As with any media there will be a variety of reasons people consume it. I never much cared for the CR stories because they didn't grip me, but I enjoy the system well enough. Daggerheart doesn't appeal to me in the same way that D&D does (having played it) so I couldn't see myself enjoying a...

Hopefully this is confirmation that the next campaign will be D&D! If it is, and Brennan Lee Mulligan is coming over to DM, I'll probably give the podcast another go, at least initially.

Daggerheart didn't click with me, or my table (nor my second table but they weren't interested in trying it,) but I am glad to see that they're supporting separate card boxes for players, that seems like a good move. I was a bit iffy about lending out my cards (currently sat in a box collecting...

That's good to know! Hopefully it feels a bit more cohesive than the VM series did (again, still enjoyed it, I think it was just that they've tried to fit too much into a short TV show.)

I think it's pretty obvious that big parts of it are going to be scripted, that's how you write a cohesive story, even if individual elements build on the overarching narrative. The animated show was okay, it didn't do anything new in the genre (but that's partly because the world seems very...

Accidental double-post, so I will say that I have played Daggerheart and enjoyed it, but it definitely doesn't scratch the same itch as D&D. I think it's a great introduction to TTRPGs for some people, clearly and unabashedly designed for streamers, and some players will prefer the...
