I’m still Salty about my lack of Salty title. When I finally stopped being a raid healer the game became so much more enjoyable.

The Daggerheart website had errata on day one. I don’t know if that was one of them. It mostly looked like grammar and wording fixes.

Yeah. There’s a whole lot more than just monsters based on 4E. But those are definitely 4E inspired. They even say as much in the book, as noted. Class design looks like refined 4E design. Power sources expanded to domains. Instead of one power source classes get two domains. The class and...

Exactly. The OSR is still growing like mad. Spectacular games, designs, modules, supplements, etc coming out daily. Too many to keep track of, honestly. Lots of great indie games. Lots of great D&D-like games. 5E clones if that’s your thing.

Honestly the only thing I want from WotC in regards to 4E is a CC-BY SRD. I know there’s a snowball’s chance of that, but I still want it.

GM moves are not that new or weird. It's just naming and codifying what most referees were doing anyway as a means to talk about it and therefore teach newer GMs how to run games. When the PCs do something in the fiction, that's a PC move. When the GM responds, that's a GM move. When a PC roll...

Yeah, that is kinda weird. Likely a result of their OC style. PCs need to be special in every respect. “Just a normal person” is not an option.

It all depends on what the thing is trained on. The Microsoft version of DALL-E seems to default you young and petite white women, but you can push it off that default fairly easily.

I think you might have meant to post this in another thread.

Yep. That’s explicitly called out a few times.

"Oh, someone's expressing a positive opinion about a game I don't like? Guess I'm duty bound to go set fire to their joy." Sigh. Gamers are the worst.

I am repeatedly surprised and giddy as I read through this book. It's amazing to me that both Matt Mercer and Matt Colville have recapitulated D&D 4E in wildly different ways as their flagship games. So many best of and greatest hits of D&D 4E were brought forward in Daggerheart. So many things...

The poster was talking about PbtA-style narrative twists and extras the referee has to come up with based on rolls. That only comes up with fear rolls, which is about half the time, minus crits.

What benefit does JG get from lying? All they can do is hurt their business partner (GG) and decrease any profits they might get as a result. They tank the Kickstarter that will potentially make them money? They tank GG already sullied reputation even further and reduce future sales? Yeah, he...

It's closer to about 50% and there's an extensive list of options you can pick from. As mentioned, if nothing else you can just give the PC a stress when they roll with fear.

Here's a post I made on the Dragonbane general thread about flipping the math. There's also a handy chart included. https://www.enworld.org/threads/dragonbane-general-thread.709343/post-9543836

As I said in the other threads: May 9. "Maybe it's my cynicism, but I can't shake the feeling that there's another shoe that's going to drop." Today. "If even half of that’s true whatever reputation Goodman had left was just torpedoed to hell." This feels like the other shoe just dropped.

It's no coincidence that all of them do. Exactly. First thing to do when you're in a hole is stop digging.

I think that's the crux of it. One of the reasons I'm on the lookout for a game that actually explains how to implement narrative structure in a game is that while a lot of players might want a story, even after a lifetime of consuming stories, there's no guarantee they will actually know how...

Gotcha. The GM Principles, GM Best Practices, Pitfalls to Avoid, hard and soft moves, GM Moves, Countdowns, and Thinking in Beats are all fairly standard in PbtA games...though some have different names in those systems. Sorry. I didn't mean to put you on the spot. Finding a game that actually...
