Daggerheart unofficial discord: Join the Daggerheart Discord Server! There's also a Darrington Press discord that has some conversation, the 'Breacon' discord that has a Daggerheart channel (subscribers only), and a reddit: Reddit - The heart of the internet

I agree on this. I got interested in Daggerheart for the most "shallow" of reasons after all: Playable Faun as a core ancestry, with good art for it. They hooked me with the 'look' of the beta cards. They have halfway reeled me in with the beta rules. What I see in the final rules will...

Everyone else on the cast was great, though Mercer was pretty quiet for a lot of it.

I watched the whole thing and came away a little... put off. Something was going on with Felecia Day. She spent the entire time trolling the game and running through essentially 'half the list' of things that regularly pop up on RPG horror stories. Things she was up to: Steal everything in...

We arguing over minute definitions of what to argue about for a product that hasn't even come out yet. Personally, I'm still in hype mode. Lets have our dreams get shattered after we have it in hand outside of just Australia. At least it's not a video game where we can be almost certain the...

I was an actual kid when all this 'cool collectable' stuff came out. So many original Star Wars figures, basic set dice, smurfs, comic books, etc - that for some reason I dared to actually play with instead of leave in sealed plastic containers as an investment for 30-40 years on. ;) My dice...

Don't believe anyone who tells you that. A misprint on a product that is now 'iconic' in tRPG history will definitely have interested collectors.

I'd say things like: The typical: - Publishers goes out of business and takes the IP with them. Before the Internet era this usually meant 'game over' but some of these can now be found as PDFs on DriveThruRPG. The old company 'Fantasy Games Unlimited' had games like Villains and Vigilantes or...

Here's the authors of the game themselves on how they view 'homebrew' and players making the setting for themselves - should start a bit past 21 minutes in: (Had this on hand as I just posted this to the Daggerheart reddit in one of the threads there on using it for a modern game.) 'RAW' -...

This. Daggerheart captures 'adventure fantasy' in a very different way than D&D, Pathfinder, Fantasy Hero, or GURPS Magic. - "Rules light" or "narrative games" in past seem to also often want to be in 'experimental genres'. Daggerheart is just right there in the 'meet in a tavern and go...

I suspect this has more to do with not making this meme from the daggerheart reddit turn into some serious feelings of frustration: The more the Aussies talk about their new toy, the darker it's going to get for the rest of us in that room up there.

I don't know where Daggerheart will land on a lot of things because Darrington is being rather quiet on plans. But I kind of hope it does NOT get a 'core / default' fleshed out setting. Give me a modern tRPG, with complete rules and guidelines for things and stuff, where it is presumed that...

Mystery Men. Even though I like more powerful supers in the genre itself, that movie was one of the few that had heart and characters that didn't feel like they were made in a corporate boardroom, nor a plot that felt 'big studio sanitized'). Since the genre became big, everything that's come...

That's how I feel as well. Personally 'grimdark' sums up everything I dislike about modern fantasy. I like heroic fantasy, and I like the older swords and sorcery (at least from the 60s-70s). But Grimdark isn't for me at all. However it's popular, and if someone shows off a good live play...

Late to the party here but... This is how I've felt mostly about assorted 'special' and 'limited' covers. I often avoid special editions because they have blander covers than than the normal art. That's how I felt here - the cover we're discussing is the regular one. The limited one that's...

I see AI Art the same way I see a camera 'back in the day', and then 'Photoshop' back in another day. It is a new tool. In the late 90s I actually took some printing classes and graphic design classes right before all of that become completely and not just mostly obsolete. I learned how to...

To a point he has a point, then he steps past it. I like the use of AI for things like added elements in your home table. I don't want AI content I buy or sub to. But I think it can be handy to flesh out a description in a home made adventure. It runs the risk of babbling too much like one of...

Calling their game engine Starstone is highly indicative of these folks at least being pathfinder geeks.

We're in an age of decentralized, balkanized media. 20+ years ago if I liked Star Trek and you like Star Wars we'd see each other as in the same fandom and just argue about which was better. Now if we were both Gen-whatever-comes-after-Z and I'm into 'this' but you're into 'that' we might not...
