    What do YOU plan on doing with Daggerheart?

    I saw this on the Daggerheart subreddit and think it's solid advice.

    That implies Character optimization and spotlight hogging are the same thing, which I don't agree with. In any event, theory crafting and building optimized PCs is a fun part to do when one isn't at the gaming table.

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    Eh? Building super over the top characters, ie, char op, is something Daggerheart supports. But I do think that social game conventions, narrative focus and the way hope/fear are generated gives DMs more tools to deal with that. (Hopefully? Lol, I've yet to sit down and play so I'm still...

    What do YOU plan on doing with Daggerheart?

    To thread the needle ... 4e has one of the best combat engines in any edition of DnD. It's where the game shines, IMO. But to say it lacks non-combat is also untrue, skill challenges actually provided a system that has been iterated on and used later on for managing social and exploratory...

    Daggerheart Releases Another Round of Playtesting, Including Two New Classes

    Well, there's already errata. Mainly spelling and such, but expecting a book to be completely error-free is a big ask. Errata PDF: https://www.daggerheart.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Daggerheart-Errata-5-20-2025.pdf

    That said ... there's no such thing as death saves, so in combat healing is important, can't wait for a PC to drop.

    Daggerheart Releases Another Round of Playtesting, Including Two New Classes

    Great to see new content. Impressed that they're already iterating on the Brawler(ex-Fighter) and Warlock.

    Could an American write Doctor Who? - Babylon 5 creator throws hat in the ring

    ... As my username in other places is actually Dalek Kosh, I feel very seen. My general feedback on the Disney era of Doctor Who can best be described as "Aww, RTD is back on his usual naughty word (Complementary)" to "Oof, RTD is back on his usual naughty word (derogatory)". So I'm not really into...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    Daggerheart is pretty hackable and such, so I can foresee a lot of potential products, depending on questions about the licensing. Campaign frames for sure, adventures and adversaries for DMs. Class design is fun in that it's modular. One can ... fill in the grid, so to speak, or add subclasses...

    D&D General Chris Perkins and Jeremy Crawford Join Darrington Press

    Daggerheart is the new hotness, and getting Perkins and Crawford will certainly help give Darrington some clout, but I highly doubt this is some threat to WotC or DnD as a brand. 5e will continue, as will DnD. Paizo and Pathfinder didn't kill it, I don't think Daggerheart and Darrington will...

    Do you remember your first RPG purchase?

    There was a 3.5 starter set for players. It had a softcover PHB, a box of minis and a set of dice.

    [Daggerheart] Looking for some feedback on a (currently incomplete) class and domain

    Which is kinda funny, because I've been thinking about an Artificer class, and the Relic domain, if renamed to Enchantment/Infusion/Artifice and flavoured as the Artificer enchanting/creating the item rather than tapping into the Relic's power gets you a lot of the way there. My own thought is...

    Which summer movies are you looking forward most to?

    Superman looks interesting. Hoping Fantastic Four will be good. I wasn't going to touch any more Jurassic Park, but Jonathan Bailey does look really hot in it.

    Trailer Spaceballs 2: Not the Quest for More Money

    I'm impressed to see Pullman and Moranis back ... but I'll admit to being nervous. I doubt the sequel can be good, but I'm willing to be proven wrong.

    Get The Daggerheart SRD Here

    The licensing stuff is a little ... I'm gonna wait and let the dust settle and see if I can sift out the facts from the clickbait later. What I will say is the SRD is very complete and gave me enough confidence to actually buy the box set. So the value included is impressive.

    What do YOU plan on doing with Daggerheart?

    So, I'm intrigued enough by Daggerheart that I'm considering running it. I'm thinking a KISS scenario/short campaign where the party is doing Robin Hood. They've been named outlaws, there's a corrupt Baron oppressing the local villages and they're the Merry People that are a thorn in the Baron's...

    Spoilers Star Wars: Andor season 2

    I have to disagree, Dedra's arc was quite narratively satisfying, it demonstrates that fascism destroys even its most ardent supporters. Dedra is shown to be a true believer. And despite that, Syril, her and Partagaz are crushed by the very system they support.

    No Initiative Order: How Do You Do It?

    I've been a big fan of Popcorn initiative. I like how it allows some strategy and is more collaborative, I find set initiative causes players to check out when their turn is done. I now run 5e this way, and if ... when I play it, Daggerheart's lack of initiative is too loose for my players, will...
