This makes sense to me. I would have promoted someone already working on it and has been mentored by the person leaving to that position rather than hiring a new "leader" from outside. Least of all when you released a new set of rules just a few months before.

Cityborne might be navigating and finding specific places to stock up on supplies? After all, you can find anything in a big city.

I know some of the people prepared to do a Foundry module right now are salty as heck because it's not allowed in the license but considering how many fan-run modules that are abandoned when the author plays something else or falling behind as Foundry updates — not to mention how Critical Role...

Yes. Coming from games that usually run like this, I actually think the guidance in the book is slightly wrong. The GM needs to control the spotlight and move it around, but be open to people who chimes up or signals a "me me me". If it's up to players to decide who goes first, it will stop the...

Some of the people doing things have been playing since the early beta. Others of course hasn't and you can tell because there's a lot less thoughts about synergies for current and future uses.

Only options from the Daggerheart quickstart is free. The rest you have to buy.

Yeah no. I was thinking this is for the whole group it's just that you rotate who does to roll.

Very quick and dirty non-milestone thing: make a countdown for the players. Each rest/session/something, one of them rolls the duality dice. Hope, it ticks down towards level up. Fear and it ticks up as a setback. Crits ticks down two steps. Two successes to get to level 2 and then you add...

I would probably make a new subclass then, just to avoid confusions. Had the same problem with the Wayfinder Ranger in that it didn't do much wayfinding, so I did a new subclass for that. Need to do the art for when the card generator is up though. Trailblazer Spellcast Trait: Instinct...

Yes! A fantasy noir city campaign and a mercenaries at war campaign can exist in the same world, but the tone and touchstones and rule variants are going to be different.

You can customise it a lot. Like the Star Wars 5e I mentioned above. It clearly got spaceships and charming scoundrels in every spaceport but in the end all abilities that use the spellslots still feel like spells — even if they did improve a lot on the utility ones — and the game overall feels...

There are not much difference in rules between Urban Shadows and Masks — except for how stats go up and down dynamically in the last — but because they're a fiction first games they feel vastly different in play. But I think we're talking past one another because we see these games and rules in...

In the normal rules, you gain a scar when choosing to survive a death and rolling a equal or below your level with the Hope die. In Umbra, you don't roll but just get a scar right away.

In Umbra you always get a scar when surviving, which crosses out a Hope. You can have six of those at start and when the last is out, you're gone. In grimdark stories the protagonist always survive all kinds of horrifying endeavours. They just get mangled and suffer collateral damage. And...

William Elliott Whitmore stands up to protest.

Infernalis-reskin as a Roger Rabbit goof for what was to be "have fun with a oneshot", IIRC. It's a bit like expecting all of D&D is like the Wendy's thingamabob.

Choosing to survive when reaching zero hit points will mean you have less hope, and resurrection is a level 10 once per campaign spell. Taking rests give the GM fear currency automatically and progress something they have planned. No hit point bloat. Fiction first means if it makes sense you...

Also: Pathfinder, much of the OSR games, Beyond the Wall, D20, Tales of the Valiant, all of those are Dungeons & Dragons. Possibly even X Without Number games too. I really like some of the games but they're still D&D.

Yeah, I never considered that one. Think I've settled with going back etymologically to the root and use Aroughcoune.

While the modifiers in Daggerheart are often small enough that the roll beads-modifiers with dice isn't going to be needed, my maths deficient brain is definitively using that for 5e. I'm terribly slow with head maths and feel bad for people needing to slow down and wait while I add things up.
