    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    I was just pointing out a different product to grab if he didn’t want the adventure! They do have different maps between them for the settlements and stuff though, worth considering which style you want.

    Daggerheart To Release Official Hope & Fear Expansion

    Huh, wonder if that led directly to their long list of inspirations page in DH.

    D&D 5E (2024) WotC Should Make 5.5E Specific Setting

    Legacy of the Crystal Shard has a ton of the deep north setting stuff, iirc Rime just recycled most of it verbatim.

    I feel like Paizo would be hurt by this.

    Daggerheart To Release Official Hope & Fear Expansion

    I mean you're assuming all games need constant releases. CO is a much more contained narrative thing then Daggerheart, which is designed as a "generic" system to layer stuff on top. (now I have heard that CO was rough around the edges as released) Blades in the Dark never got "additional...

    Secrets of low-prep homebrew [+]

    This is a great way to do a moderate amount of prep when you have the mental energy and inspiration that then leads to many sessions of 0 prep or at most hastily jotted notes of possibilities for the day. I tend to steal/borrow liberally from books I've read, like when I sat down and built out...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    Still love just dropping sheets and images into Miro like we're playing with pen and paper around a table. The one thing I can see getting a little annoying is high Proficiency math come T3-ish. That's a lot of d8s etc getting tossed around by people. ____ We had two Death Moves made on...

    Check out the playtest of Witch / Warlock to see this, it's neat.

    D&D 5E (2024) GMs: How long should it usually take to go from level 1 to 4?

    The total absence of anything but fiat leveling from Daggerheart is my biggest complaint with that system. I like how Draw Steel! abstracts it down to a much smaller system of 1-2 Victories awarded for overcoming challenges, and 16 victories translated into XP for a level. If D&D separated XP...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    I definitely think the Void ones that are ports of rulesets from other games are more interesting generally than the core book ones. But I've done that sort of thing already for my games as part of the core design. Maybe I should just extract the set of the interesting mechanics from the...

    I don't have an opinion either way.

    Daggerheart To Release Official Hope & Fear Expansion

    I'm assuming @Aldarc 's thrust was about associating the Witch class which is highly gendered in folklore and culture with the first Domain they've added that is basically negative / cruel. The Witch class itself + the subclasses are lovely.

    D&D 5E (2024) Lorwyn: First Light Released on D&D Beyond

    Seanan McGuire is doing MTG novels? Wow, good for her.

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    There's nothing they do that I don't do by default via the standard moves except break out a custom array of outcomes (apart from the Cult Ritual which I think I'll grab for an upcoming showdown). I was looking through the T1 and T2 ones in particular last night to see if there was anything...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    I always feel so weird with VTT discussions, I like my stuff as simple and close to tabletop-analogue style as possible. Clearly in the minority there though. Regarding the "expansion" I'm not sure I see anything interesting there but hey, they've got more time. I don't really have any interest...
