    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    OK yeah. It actually is refreshing to see people here on this site with an awareness of all thse other systems, and even more systems than I know (my references are all older systems, though clearly with gaps). I'd been under a thankfully incorrect impression that folks on ENworld were kind of...

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    Well if you DO want to see inspirations for Daggerheart in action. Not that you're required to :) - but CR has a pile of playtest liveplays on their YouTube and Beacon for Daggerheart. There was also one last night I believe, session 0 for the upcoming campaign; that I missed...

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    Sure but, that's doesn't take away from Daggerheart doing what it does and... well, many folk, self included, have never played or read or seen Fate. They have their inspirations listed and that's great. Maybe I'll look at some of those someday but that isn't here and now and I do not feel I...

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    Not directly but it does have the tools for them to talk that problem out and make a 4th option that is a mesh. Any group can do that, but Daggerheart explicitly intends that. Session 0 in Daggerheart isn't just make characters and talk safety tools, it is also where the PLAYERS make the...

    Most influential RPG

    FUDGE was also free. While that should have made it the seed that birthed the idea of OGL, I'm not sure if the OGL / WotC folks even knew FUDGE existed.

    Judges Guild Makes Statement About Goodman Controversy [Updated]

    I mean yeah... That's been par for the course for these things for ages.

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    It will vary by game group because some will make heavy use of it and others will use it as a token resource to be spent with little flair. It is supposed to be a guide for how the GM 'roleplays' the results of actions. You succeed with hope or with fear - in both cases you got a success. One...

    I am surprised I am still excited for Daggerheart

    Just as long as Daggerheart doesn't end up in the '99% o' players ain't heard o' dat either' list in a few months. It probably will... but it'd be nice if it didn't.

    Daggerheart has been Officially Released

    Heh. Yeah we're getting older. I can't paint the individual nose hairs on my 20mm dwarf mini with a regular brush and no magnifier anymore. ;) Those days are long gone. Don't make the screen scream at me. I'm with you there.

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    I could be wrong as I'm only going from a read at this point and not 'up against the wall of actual players'... but yeah. When I read Daggerheart I kinda feel I could just play or run it with mostly regular players. We'd get to a narrative moment and instead of saying "you see ABC in the...

    I am surprised I am still excited for Daggerheart

    That's hard for me to answer because I've never read PbtA and only even heard of it in recent posts here. Maybe the things I find so well stated and revolutionary are old news to many of you. I've been seeing some reviews that are making that point. In which case it's value is that this advice...

    Daggerheart has been Officially Released

    This one might be interesting. How good are the digital tools: Daggerheart is in a rough position of competing with two very different fan bases. They need to meet expectations of people coming from D&DBeyond, and of people coming from the independent hobby scene where we have things like...

    Daggerheart has been Officially Released

    Haven't watched all these. But at least they're not done before even reading the thing like some of the day one's: I think this guy will have the most value for D&Ders IF he does another video with a 'now that I've played it even more' followup. He's a player, he's not been following...

    Daggerheart Releases Two New Classes for Playtest

    I loved that they called it fighter if only for the comments it will generate around tables. :) That said, the playtest mostly looks good but I've seen folks saying they think the Juggernaut is not interesting enough compared to the Martial Artist.

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    Get a PDf through either Demiplane or DriveThruRPG. That's a lot cheaper way if you're willing to get it, but just not up for the print copy price.

    What do YOU plan on doing with Daggerheart?

    I'm thinking my plans for a Pathfinder 2E campaign ended yesterday. I'll still do some Pathfinder 2E adventures, but for a full game right now my thoughts are on Daggerheart. That might change if I grow to dislike something about them. My biggest concerns are over what VTTs end up supporting it...

    Daggerheart has been Officially Released

    If you're going to do a day one review, this is how you do it: - that's 6 and a half hours of 'lets read this on stream page by page and talk about every little thing we find. I lasted a couple hours, and he seemed to really like it when I fell asleep. ;)

    Daggerheart has been Officially Released

    That last guy you linked did his review right after he did his unboxing review. He hadn't even read the book yet. So it's really a playtest review. He also ordered the limited set, and then spends time complaining that it came with "stuff" that only the limited set came with. - He's the guy who...

    I am surprised I am still excited for Daggerheart

    Some folks like the 'shiny new', some don't. Sometimes being open to the shiny new can let you find a gem to hold on to. I will say I think the narrative method would great in a circle of gamers that are friends beyond the table. It lets you just 'go' with the mood of your friendship when...
