I'm not terribly surprised either, but I also think part of that is a lot of people are bouncing back from the fact that they killed off a main character. Just like the game, the show is taking the same narrative risks.

Oh, they definitely can be but I’ve yet to see anyone bring that movie’s sensibilities to their anthropomorphic character. The last Daggerheart stream where everyone played some form of cute animal certainly wasn’t. It very much felt like the game was geared towards those kinds of fantasy...

I’m gonna tune into the new show to see how it goes. Hopefully this one has less frogs, rabbits and turtle characters.

I think part of the problem is that it's easy for someone to miss the Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 titles in Seattle, and realize that the timing is going to be important.

His story strikes me as a perfect example of “right place, right time”. There’s a tendency to mythologize people who achieve success but there’s plenty of luck that goes into the mix, as well as an ability to recognize an opportunity. It doesn’t mean those people will always be successful -...

They’re really using lots of shots from the game. That whole approach to the aquarium brought back memories.

I think that makes sense since D&D is the 800 pound gorilla in the space - it's what people want to talk about. However, it's very possible that Daggerheart displaces other games rather than D&D. I suspect that would actually be the case, but there's likely not great metrics to say that for certain.

Nevermind - didn’t realize this was threadcromancy.

My jealousy knows no bounds. I’ve just started dabbling in some hats but I don’t always feel they fit me right or I look good with them. I’m trying to just push through that because damn, I just love the way they look. They make the outfit sometimes.

Dude! Digging the caps!

That absolutely stinks.

Did Marcus Aurelius really say "worked up"? :LOL:

I mean, it's easy to pick on one of the worst examples but does that really carry over to something like Dragonsbane. Do people really dismiss other games and put them in the "Will Not Play" bucket, or do we put them in a "Maybe someday" bucket with the full knowledge that someday may never come?

Do you find yourself doing that for every game you haven’t tried, or was FATAL the exception?

Higher is better unless you go to high in Blackjack and then you bust. Lowball is a game in Poker where you try to have the lowest hand. It's all kind of irrelevant. You either understand the math behind rolling high or not, or you don't.

Fletch was begging for a series versus a movie. Hamm was perfect for that role.

Okay, to me percentile dice / rolling low for skills makes intuitive sense - if I have a 70% chance to succeed, I have to roll 70 or lower. I can get where sometimes it can trip people up if they're coming off another game where you need to roll high to hit something, but it's not an enormous...

Is it roll under as in a percentage chance to succeed or roll low as in THAC0/descending AC?

I suspect there are a whole slew of people who bash games without having tried them, and I bet that goes back to the early days of the hobby.

In related news, I see Bob Bledsaw Jr continues to absolutely gross. Now I really wish Goodman would just pull the plug.
