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...

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.
