I wish I was smart enough and driven enough to make an awesome rpg that is getting a lot of buzz while at the same time getting money from WOTC to play D&D. I don't care if it is ads or sponsorships or whatever that is just living the dream. And they seem genuinely good folks to boot.

I wonder if it's occured to Crit Roll/Darrington to use C4 with D&D to promote Daggerheart and the other streams using Daggerheart. I know thats crazy talk.....

I watched 3 Youtubers today with high level of shock (and varying levels of dismay) over it being D&D 24. I am liking the looks of both games(I haven't be able to play either yet) so I don't care either way but the angst is fun to watch.

One of the "old man cards" I play at work is that I remember when lawyers, doctors, and prescription drugs not allowed to advertise on TV.

I have posted before on those ads. Man. I loved the one for Dragon raiders... "christians Learn To Fight at the Gates of Hell". The game was not remotely about assaulting hell. Unrelated to the above but to those old ads: I got to visit NYC last year and go to The Compleat Strategist. I pulled...

I bought it and tried to run it...My group and I were horribly confused by it. the ropeless got a few chuckles then we realized that was the whole theme. We were running it over Christmas break, and to be honest I was reading it only one level in advance. When one of the players pointed out we...

I did decide on the one ring version. After years of reading over it and going "I just don't know if I really grasp this, and I know 5e..." I looked at both books again last night. All of a sudden I was like Oh I get it now..of course...yeah cool regarding The One Ring and 5e didn't inspire me...

I have both core books. I have the first One Ring starter box, I have Moria in hardcopy for 5e and the pdf for both. I shouldn't order both starter sets........which one which one my precious?

It occured to this weekend that this game could have some truly amazing random tables, and either a huge number of races and classes or advice on how to build them to match what players want. I don't know how they are going to pull this off but I am now excited to follow along and see.

I saw where Glass Cannon announced their up coming campaign is going to be a Shadowdark game. I don't know if that is considered big or not. But I have generally enjoyed their non-pathfinder streams.

As a long time fan if V&V that did play it by the book (make yourself into a hero) I would love if this is okay yourself I that world.

I voted green for the manipulation aspect but...if she leads her armies in the field (in disguise) blue dragon if she sends out her armies from her throne room like chess pieces then green.

Hmmm. You may have a point it may turn out a bit like Assassins Creed the movie. I always thought that was a bad idea because the story is the meta part not the game play. The important parts of DC Carl is him trying to fight the system not the levels themselves (at least through book 6). It...

After reading some commentary on other games, I realize how much I appreciate the clear communication in Daggerheart and I really like the player best practice. Embrace Danger. That is what I want to run. The other best practices are great as well but Embrace Danger as #1 sets the tone for me.

I'm firmly in the fringe camp as well I have multiple notebooks scattered around each dedicated to a different game or campaign but the reality is I may get in one game a year. Yet due to my general interest and hanging out here I know a lot about a lot of games. Also, even with not playing I an...
