Course meta currency is pretty old. The old James Bond game was the first I believe?

Neo Trad? I can't always keep terms straight. I mean modern games that lean into story beats, meta currency, etc.

Yes, that's true. Burning Wheel is very crunchy. What I should have said is D&D is leaning harder into non narrativist rules and nailing down procedures that downplay the examples you gave in Lancer. There is also a difference between narrative games like Fate and narrativist games like...

I've only read a friend's copy. It really nails down rules but also has fewer consequences when bad stuff happens. And less worry about supplies. So I feel it's moving away from simulation and narrative, which is why @Micah Sweet and I are both unhappy.😂

Do you believe 5.5 is leaning a little more narrativist? And if so, why and how?

I'm curious why you feel 5.5 is leaning more narrativist. I fell that it's become less so, as it's more reliant on codified rules. Backgrounds, for example, are a feat and skills. Bonds, traits, flaws are gone. Rulings over rules are pretty much downplayed. Just feels like there's less room for...

I think the game is created in such a way that the narrative dials can be easily tuned. GM can just use fear examples from book and it'll work just fine. Have players who don't want to add details? GM can just narrate like it's D&D. Or you can go full on cooperative narrative or anything in between.

I actually cheated with my fae frog. He has wings and the long tongue. Table letting it slide because its not that big a deal. I didn't notice the rule till after my character was made. I think it's meant to balance the traits and maybe some combos would be bit too tough?

I get to be a player in a game my husband is going to run. We went through the starter adventure to get our feet wet. Went well. We're not sure what kind of world we want to adventure in yet. I've made a faerie ribbet druid but may not be my long running character.

I like the monster stat blocks. Gives the GM flexibility, so that we don't fall into the trap of every particular monster being identical. Players will be aware that they can't make assumptions about the wyvern that just attacked.

It reminds me of 13th Age, without actually feeling like 13th Age. Not sure that makes sense. But yes, I'm excited for Daggerheart too!

King Fu Fighting. Fast as Lightning! Edit: fixed a spelling

@beta-ray is just making a terrible groany pun. Investment.

And Dave Thaumavoe really likes the mechanics but feels the game isn't for him. This one is really short, not really a review. It's a giveaway.

All sold out in Canada too.

And how many shuttlecrafts and crew members has Voyager lost? I guess they can make new shuttlecrafts but maybe they should be recruiting aliens along the way? Of course, the aliens are almost all hostile or annoying.

Mu husband can't stand Winn. He'd groan everytime she'd make an appearance and definitely not in a "love to hate way." Just hate. 😂

I was thinking this too. I believe that it'd be a great fit.

Struggling through Voyager. It's frustrating because it had potential that it couldn't reach. I am enjoying Jeri Ryan's portrayal of Seven, however.

The print size is a little bit on the small size, so you made a good decision. Cards come in a lovely large box with magnetic lid so probably wouldn't get lost. Course, I'm really good at losing things myself, so I get it. 😉 Haven't read the book thoroughly yet, but my husband and I went...
