I agree that the Artificer is hamstrung as a half-caster and might work better with a different casting progression. I'm not 100% sure that full caster is the way to go, however. I might be closer to the Warlock's spell system ... but that too doesn't feel like the right fit.

Not more content, more that Matt Mercer is playing in Acquisitions Incorporated, they are restarting the campaign in a new world in Daggerheart at level 1 and that will be airing later today

Your wish and mine has been granted. Standalone GM screen! So I'm just getting the base Hope & Fear now.

I'll interact more fully with the thread later, I just need to add: I want a schnauzer with my weinerschnitzel

This Insta post confirms that this is not what Keith was working on. Also ... the Fear tokens are rhombic dice that can slot over the GM screen, so I'm leaning slightly more to the upgrade https://www.instagram.com/reel/DRU74jjj2jx/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

Haven't pulled the trigger yet, but I am planning to back the Drakkenheim Daggerheart kickstarter and pre-order Daggerheart: Hope and Fear.

What's interesting to me is that one of the witch arts looks to be a male coded character. I don't have any problems with using that class name, but I also recognize my own privilege here. Yeah ... that's the one reason I'll delay a bit on deciding whether to go for the deluxe or not. I want...

I like that they're packaged to make for an easy to run experience. I ran the Heist one from the Void pretty much as-is and it gave me a solid framework to run a whole session with minimal prep. I've grabbed parts of environments, like the desecrated grounds from the Cult Ritual to explain why...

Also ... given what CR campaign 4 is shaping up to be ... Daggerheart wasn't a mature or big enough system to support 13 different PCs. The "we have no faith in our own system" narrative was a bunch of bunk and drama baiting. I'm guessing one of the campaign frames will be the Romantasy frame...

Yes!!!!

Stoked for this. The base version is an auto-buy, nearly doubling the number of Adversaries and Environments alone makes this worthwhile. We'll see where my campaign is at by then, though. But also the new player material ... I already consider that Void content in a pretty playable state, so...

Generally I want, assuming a level 1 start, to level up at the end of that first session. From there on, 2-5 sessions per level, depending on progress and party vibe.

Yeah, and Heavy and Hand Crossbows.

I really enjoyed the book, interested to see the movie and what changes

Sure, but I'd argue that an adventure should sell itself as a standalone first, as a "here's a high-level module that a prospective GM can buy and run" is a wider audience than "This module might help you continue your ongoing campaign"
