That one's a bit of a culture shock for me coming from Pathfinder 2E, but over in the D&D 5E world it feels like they take away your 'DM Card' if you don't have at least 73 pages of houserules BEFORE you even buy the DMG. ;) Critical Role also, hasn't really been following the rules for years...

It's not though. A cleric is a warrior of a religion who exists to spread their faith at the end of the threat of violence. Using that term just peels away all attempts at making it sound better, but that is what it is. And it's a concept that isn't common in fantasy literature in the modern...

They've been debating that issue over on the Daggerheart in Foundry discord, 'Foundryborne'. They've locked invites while they sort out legalities so I can't send you one - but there's a lot of uncertainty. You have to think about whether or not it is worth risking it, even if you think you...

Daggerheart lacks a 'cleric' like class. You can do 'healer' with Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard, Bard, and Seraph in differing ways. but there's no express 'kill heretics' class - only an implied one in seraph. Personally from a fantasy conceptualization point of view I'm glad it's not there. I'm not...

I'm not a fan of milestone advancement systems. Both as a player and as a GM - I like seeing a build up of progression. I have found it hard to maintain interest as a player in the games I've been in that used milestone, and as a GM this is one of my bigger concerns with running Daggerheart...

This is worrying for Daggerheart: https://www.daggerheart.com/faq/ To me that reads like a built in suicide card; something that eventually kills Daggerheart in the community. People get very loyal to their chosen platform and if they insist on only allowing one choice, that will take the...

Detective style mystery drama. The sort where you investigate a scene and interview witnesses and suspects finding a lot of clues and putting the puzzle together through a mix of said clues and social interactions. The narrative focus where players are expected to fill in scenes, explain what...

It's not so much that for me. Daggerheart is highlighting points of frustration for me in other systems. Where I see something now in Pathfinder that I don't like how we're dealing it, and can point to another approach elsewhere that I much prefer. There's no need to stick to two different...

I was actually impressed by that as I've never seen any tRPG ever credit another for any inspiration or even set of ideas taking whole cloth from another game outside of just having a license on the back page. Maybe that's a new trend, it wasn't a thing back when I was around 20+ years ago, and...

I haven't watched the episode yet as I'm traveling, but I suspect that's possible. The cast has already played a lot of the system and during the launch party many of them noted they'd also been GMing it regularly.

I played in one the one shots over on startplaying. Found a great GM there who I might even be willing to pay to play with again if schedules can line up. He used Owlbear.rodeo and demiplane. There is no integration between these and owlbear lacks a duality die roller so we rolled on our own...

It's one of the campaign frames - a post apocalypse world where instead of magic there are remnants of 'super tech'.

Yep. this worry popped up on reddit yesterday too and my reply there was that if you absolutely insist on rolling a die to spread jam on your toast, the GM is free to turn around and make that jam a boss adversary ooze. Plus you'd be going against the spirit of the game insisting on rolls for...

Sure. Rip out the entire skill, spell, vancian (daily charges) magic, class, equipment list, magic items, monsters, and feat system and D&D can be reskinned... But.. that kind of makes my point.

Daggerheart has a 'lighter footprint' so is easy to reskin to different genres. D&D by the very existence of a skill system and spell slot system is NOT a very customizeable game unless you ignore how nothing fits the genre you're playing in. D&D is not 'heroic fantasy' in the least. D&D is...

The worst thing about the show being cancelled is that if someone ever does it again they won't start from where this show left off, they'll start all over again, we'll get just barely into the Dragon being active, and then it will be cancelled again.

Mapache - That's their Spanish name. Mapachtli - That's their Aztec name. I'd go with "Mapachtli" as it's one of the original names of the creatures. All I had to do was look on Wikipedia to find that. :) Which also considers "trash panda" to be a side-door synonym (trash panda redirects to...

It's not the number of metrics to track that matters, but the complexity of tracking them. If they work in a very consistent manner they get easy to track even with a lot of them. But if they're very inconsistent - each having it's own unique rules that don't seem to share the same design style...

Yes. I'd look for more reasons than just one before subscribing. I'm assuming it will be on YouTube in a few days.
