"Oh, someone's expressing a positive opinion about a game I don't like? Guess I'm duty bound to go set fire to their joy." Sigh. Gamers are the worst.

I am repeatedly surprised and giddy as I read through this book. It's amazing to me that both Matt Mercer and Matt Colville have recapitulated D&D 4E in wildly different ways as their flagship games. So many best of and greatest hits of D&D 4E were brought forward in Daggerheart. So many things...

The poster was talking about PbtA-style narrative twists and extras the referee has to come up with based on rolls. That only comes up with fear rolls, which is about half the time, minus crits.

What benefit does JG get from lying? All they can do is hurt their business partner (GG) and decrease any profits they might get as a result. They tank the Kickstarter that will potentially make them money? They tank GG already sullied reputation even further and reduce future sales? Yeah, he...

It's closer to about 50% and there's an extensive list of options you can pick from. As mentioned, if nothing else you can just give the PC a stress when they roll with fear.

Here's a post I made on the Dragonbane general thread about flipping the math. There's also a handy chart included. https://www.enworld.org/threads/dragonbane-general-thread.709343/post-9543836

As I said in the other threads: May 9. "Maybe it's my cynicism, but I can't shake the feeling that there's another shoe that's going to drop." Today. "If even half of that’s true whatever reputation Goodman had left was just torpedoed to hell." This feels like the other shoe just dropped.

It's no coincidence that all of them do. Exactly. First thing to do when you're in a hole is stop digging.

I think that's the crux of it. One of the reasons I'm on the lookout for a game that actually explains how to implement narrative structure in a game is that while a lot of players might want a story, even after a lifetime of consuming stories, there's no guarantee they will actually know how...

Gotcha. The GM Principles, GM Best Practices, Pitfalls to Avoid, hard and soft moves, GM Moves, Countdowns, and Thinking in Beats are all fairly standard in PbtA games...though some have different names in those systems. Sorry. I didn't mean to put you on the spot. Finding a game that actually...

I think he already has. But yeah, that would finish off what's left of his reputation.

I think the first thing I'm doing is making a Dragonbane-like duck ancestry.

Chesterton’s Fence. I want to get a good handle on the system as it’s meant to be played before changing things. A few sessioms or adventures at least.

Hey, @Morrus The quoted info might be newsworthy.

Again, this is specifically called out in Shadowrun Anarchy as not acceptable. It is similarly called out in Daggerheart. A given group not being able to handle more narrative control does not mean narrative control is bad. Not every game is for every group. That’s to be expected.

If even half of that’s true whatever reputation Goodman had left was just torpedoed to hell.

You enter into contracts willingly and with something like this there’s almost always an out. A time limit or a kill fee, etc. Goodman is doing this because he wants to and thinks its important. That he thinks it’s more important than not giving money to Nazis is why I’ll never buy or use...

It’s dead simple to flip it to a roll-high system and ducks are awesome.

Daggerheart is not designed for gamers out to win or optimize the fun out of the game. It’s designed for roleplayers looking to maximize the drama. Playing in good faith is required for some of these systems to work. ETA: This exact thing is called out in Shadowrun Anarchy as abusing the system...

I’ve loved bullywugs since my first AD&D game in 1984.
