    Anything but D&D

    When you are open to online play, suddenly you reach a much broader array of folk who might be interested in that. I haven't had any issues filling games across a wide variety of game-types primarily via Reddit (I think the longest I had to advertise a game for before we filled up was...a...

    Daggerheart Sold Out in Two Weeks, Has Three-Year Plan in Place

    As far as that initial print run is concerned, they went pretty big scope wise. No KS style assured set of pre-paid sales, but a full print run in major distribution networks including B&N etc. To then discover even that was undershooting must've been one hell of great news for Darrington. Im...

    For your second bullet: “the first time you take any move marked with an asterisk, cross off ‘would-be’ on the front page [of your playbook].” :love: Also like, all of book 2. I’ve never read a setting guide that made me want to see what we’d actually make of it in play, thanks to alll the cool...

    Daggerheart Sold Out in Two Weeks, Has Three-Year Plan in Place

    I'd like a better understanding of how they designed and scaled the abilities by level, as what's in the Homebrew Kit is pretty vague on that regard. Otherwise, the core book gave me everything I really needed!

    I certainly was confused as heck on forums seeing people referring to "playing APs" before realizing that was a Paizo thing.

    Mythic Bastionland - initial impressions, and making a Realm

    If you were inspired by Errant more than MB, I'd be telling you to go see a doctor (and I think Errant does a lot of very cool stuff!) ;). Any game that starts from the inspirations it does (especially the dreamy "mythical" media such as The Green Knight) and then hits that mark should be...

    D&D General The Monsters Know What They're Doing ... Are Unsure on 5e24

    When I built a little setting for my Daggerheart campaign, I simply situated each of the core Ancestries (basically all the core 5e ones and then a few extra, 18? total?) within the world - and suggested that some are pretty rare and we should work together to figure out how and why your...

    Stonetop, or, Nice Village You've Got There

    Update today said they're planning to have the physical books shipping in February. I've already had the most satisfying TTRPG play of my life with this system, hopefully lots of folks who were "waiting until its done" can get to hop in soon!

    Daggerheart Sold Out in Two Weeks, Has Three-Year Plan in Place

    @Aldarc is referring to “adventure path” not “actual play” there. DH is no more “made for Actual Play” then D&D 2024 or idk Blades in the Dark is.

    Mythic Bastionland - initial impressions, and making a Realm

    Sure, and you’ve got a different background than she does, but I’ve seen various people call out the sparseness of the book in handling different bits of rules as a frustration so I thought you’d appreciate that it’s not just you! Apparently there’s good discussion including with the designer on...

    Mythic Bastionland - initial impressions, and making a Realm

    I believe this is pretty squarely a “NSR” game, which generally wander away from old school D&D tropes and mechanics while keeping to or extending some of the philosophical stuff from the OSR blogosphere.

    Mythic Bastionland - initial impressions, and making a Realm

    There was some good discussion of how prepping and running the Myths could use a little more bones then the book gives in a Discord I lurk in. Folks eventually linked to this blog post with some solid thoughts. To quote a line that seems to resonate with your reading of the rules: "Overall, I...

    Daggerheart Sold Out in Two Weeks, Has Three-Year Plan in Place

    Yeah, in context that was quite clearly "Actual Play" and I was also a little baffled by the responses to @Reynard ! Im glad to see that DH is doing well, and driving the additional support. I've been enjoying both of my games quite a bit, and the ease with which it adapts to different game...
