Do you think there will ever come a time when Hasbro decides to license D&D out to other rpg companies? I could see a future in which various settings are paired with other game systems. Perhaps not the best analogy, but it would be like how Sega transitioned from having their own game...

From what I'm reading, it sounds as though Daggerheart Solos suffer some of the same issues as D&D 4E Solos. Is that an accurate assessment? Related question: Would it be possible to use an encounter deck (like D&D 4E did)?

Diesel Punk I know that it's less popular than Steampunk, but I think there's a grittiness and attitude involved in Diesel Punk that would make for a good rpg. I could see a setting that is essentially Star Wars, but limited to one planet and using airships and fighter planes instead of...

@Neonchameleon I don't mind "cinematic." I am of the belief that something can be cinematic while still maintaining some level of plausibility (or least while feeling plausible-ish enough that my brain doesn't hurt). At times, I've likened my fantasy tastes to pro-wrestling: Sure, there are...

I like the idea of getting away from HP bloat. I'd go so far as to say that how modern D&D handles HP is a contributing factor in combat feeling kinda bland at times. On a personally subjective level, I care less about big numbers than I would about giving the numbers more meaning and...

Okay, so not Frag, but not entirely unlike Frag either. I don't see that as overly complicated. However, I can see how some others might feel that is extra steps for an rpg to accomplish something like "Soak" or Armor as DR. In a few videos I've watched about Daggerheart, it was expressed...

Having not played Daggerheart, I questions about the damage threshold step How is the Threshold to determine 1 or 2 wounds determined? It sounds a little bit like the board game Frag, but my guess is that it is not the same system.

Note: At the time of this post, I have not played Daggerheart. Most of the criticism I've seen online is less about the number of steps and more about people saying that the additional steps aren't very meaningful. So, to answer the question of "how many steps is too many," I think the answer...

To elaborate on my previous comment: I've been surprised to find that a lot more people enjoy "nerd" things --like tabletop games-- than you might think. Many just don't talk about it because they assume (like you might) that they are alone in their interests. 🤷‍♂️ If two kids on bicycles can...

I can maybe partially agree with that. Though, I have also seen ongoing threads for Dungeon Crawl Classics, (occasionally) GURPS, (recently) Daggerheart, and a few other things. Whether here or in my day-to-day face-to-face life, I've been surprised to find that there are people interested...

I'm having trouble getting the link to work. The story has been covered by multiple outlets.

There have been a few threads about AI on here. I felt that this would be of interest to the community: Judge rules Anthropic did not violate authors' copyrights with AI book training. (I originally quoted a different story, but the link wouldn't work. A different link is found at the end of...

I've found that the only thing required to have more discussion about non-D&D games is to start (or engage in) more discussion about non-D&D games.

Edge of the Empire is essentially the Firefly experience in the Star Wars Universe

The 10' move for dwarves in heavy armor is something that I don't like either. I feel that it goes against the vision that I have of dwarves. I have some different ideas for elves as well, but I think those might require eventually sitting down and making two different classes (one for a wood...

+1 I love GURPS, but my first time trying to run a space game is something that I struggled with. (Mostly because the Spaceships pdfs used a lot of rules that I didn't use when doing other things with the system.) So, I refluffed stats for various cars, boats, etc. It worked well enough that...

On one of the DCC Facebook Groups, I saw a post about houseruling Dwarves. I quoted the post down below. I, too, would like to reduce how common the ability to see in the dark is. The original poster never followed up to say what they had decided upon for the armor change. "💡Dwarves...

I would agree that (hypothetical) interest in JG products would not be a bad thing. Though, I posit that this version of CSIO will be viewed as (and is) a Goodman Games product. It could be the case that Judges Guild finds some way to capitalize on the success of the GG project. That would...

I wouldn't be surprised if an alternate name was used. I'm not sure how Ebay operates nowadays, as I haven't used it in a long time. On Amazon, you can get the details of the third-party before making a purchase. For example, I just now did a search, and I'm looking at a book called Druids of...

I haven't seen that mentioned.  The Backerkit FAQ for the Goodman Games version of CSIO might answer that. Edit: I tried to link to it, but I'm having trouble getting the link to work.
