Never mind.

Yes. The fans decided to blame the woman-of-color guest for the regular PC’s death instead of the PC’s actual player who was completely at fault. It was not a good time to be a CR fan.

For better or worse they are making significant changes to the story of the Mighty Nein. As long as they don’t change the theme song from the campaign, I’m still in.

Prepping a Daggerheart playtest game.

The refit ship for me (ENT-A). Followed closely by the Excelsior (ENT-B) and Ambassador (ENT-C).

Those are the best. Works great in horror and mystery. It’s why you never need red herrings in RPGs. The PCs will gladly lead you everywhere but where your notes suggested.

The one immediately thought of was a pseudodragon PC. Faerie and drakona. But both flying and breath weapon are the second traits. Seems like a silly limitation.

It’s pretty great. It might be in the SRD. It’s up on their site.

I think it’s about representation over physics. Like with paralyzed PCs and combat wheelchairs, which are also in Daggerheart. I don’t care about physics or emulating disability “accurately” in an RPG. I think we should be at a point where mechanizing that stuff, just like mechanizing mental...

I really dig the mixed-ancestry rules. There's all kinds of fun combos to do. Add in how customizable the ancestries are by default and there's all kinds of nonsense you can do. The top/bottom traits thing seems a bit...arbitrary though. Are the traits at the top or bottom meant to be more...

Why penalize the character in the first place? Make the blindness a narrative element rather than one that's mechanically punitive which then forces you to create a feat to overcome those punishments. One of the many things I absolutely love about Daggerheart is that it has four pages on...

Shrug. As I said, most people haven't even had time to read the full book once. I certainly don't have it memorized yet. That's my point. It's not explicitly stated anywhere (that I've found) that these are possible GM moves. It's implied in the stat block breakdown. So if you don't read that...

Yeah. The book's been out what...5 days. Most people haven't finished their first pass, much less dug deep on repeated readings. There are some inconsistencies in the monsters and definitely places things could be explained better. Daggerheart falls into the typical RPG writing trap of...

TIL Indiana Jones actually did change the plot of Raiders of the Lost Ark.

I gotta say I was surprised by the encounter-building math. That seems rather precise. I'd like to see a breakdown of the math behind all that. Not just the monsters but the PCs, too. Don't know why but that's always interesting to me. For me it's a breath of fresh air. Not having to have...

That's the key, I think. Instead of loading in a bunch of stuff to ignore or rewrite, they kept it simple. Seems like a waste of space to include it considering a lot of that info would just have to change based on the world played in or the campaign frame used. Hard disagree. It's a great...

I absolutely love the loose, abstract way they handle combat.

They’ll take more wear and tear than most RPG players are used to but not nearly as much as MTG cards. The quality is good. Apparently the regular and premium boxes have slightly different-sized cards. There are heaps of reddit threads about taking care of the cards and sleeve sizes. You just...
