I now use Aspects for everything then stitch them together so to take your example: 1 Tsurugi Industries headquarters is Tomoes domain 2 The Sky above is a concrete blue dead screen and endless cold stars 3 Its Tower soars beyond human comprehension and two and a half million lives 4...

I'm not an expert on Daggerheart rules but maybe have each character start play with 2 Virtues which the player gets to invoke for bonus hope eg Courage - Hope: Roll a bonus hope die when standing against overwhelming odds. But: Take stress when your recklessness results in others getting hurt...

The important thing about Arthurian Fantasy as opposed to other Fantasy is that Arthurian Fantasy is embedded in Chivalric Morality, which are mythic ideals bound in oaths and duty, then tested by court intrigues, romantic entanglements, mystical visions and moral failures that lead to grand...

Isnt Hommlet in a temperate forest region? I also thought it was a standard English Midlands hamlet or maybe somewhere central france-like Keep on the Borderlands is in the Balkans - especially with its Karst limestone caves (though it is very informed by old US forts)

TEAM LAKE - SUBJECT:SHADE-9 - LOWER LAKE CAVERN Shade-9 steadied the kayak as it rode the current down into the lower cavern, his internal systems calibrating quickly to the changing conditions. “What is your status?" Shade-9 inquired of Aywin as they settled in to the flow of the lower lake...

This gets into the debate about Steampunk v Victoriana Fantasy which exist in that community. But I think Steampunk gets into the smog of Industrialisation, Victorian classism: urban dispossession vs entitled elitism, Corporatism (robber Barons), Imperialism and resource colonisation, and...

Yeah Solarpunk and Hopepunk are the two big offenders, at least earlier variations could lean in to the dystopian, anti-establisment vibe of "punk" aesthetic - solarpunk takes it to utopianism abd a complete inversion of the Punk label

Early Modern Clockpunk more 16th - 18th Century than Steampunks 19th Century Pirate Games have always been there and DnD has never really been Medieval, it was also at least Rennaissance. Having it develop a little isnt at all bad imho That said it would be nice to have a proper Medieval...

I'm still hoping for a proper Eldraine treatment - DnD lacks a proper Chivalric setting and one tied in directly with Fey and Giants works for me

TEAM LAKE - SUBJECT: SHADE-9 -MISSION UPDATE: River Cave Secured. "I can hear the unmistakable sound of battle above us" Shade-9 reported, once it was confirmed that the Teleport node had been locked. The voice came from the shadows, before he emerged and came to a stop beside the kayaks...

Talking about 2 games - thats obscura whatsit innit? how is that one going sales wise? Ive not heard much since its launch. Im surprised theyre not pushing Daggerheart more, just from a marketing standpoint

So your saying its more 19th Century "Gilded Age"? — robber barons, monopolies, Pinkertons, luddite rebellions, urban migration and rur dispossessed, utopian communes, mad darwinist, carnival sideshows and seedy cabarets. I could see adventuring in that era

Something to challenge every PC no matter what there power level or focus is. Multiple objectives in each scene and a good dose of drama

I mostly play Fate, so I encourage players to word them like character Aspects to inform play and earn points (inspiration)

I didnt mind 3e's big cosmic Evil and Good, or Elrics ideas of Law and Chaos but applying it to human behaviour is dumb, I much prefer Traits, Bonds and Ideals.
