The campaign frames in the book are both ‘official’ and ‘examples’ in my opinion. They exist to illustrate how GMs can add campaign-specific rules to tailor the core experience to whatever you need for a desired game feel or theme.

Also, there are no ‘rabbit people’ presented in the DangerHeart core.

I’m at the point of having finished the player sections, and just about to start on the GM section. So far the game is very interesting. One thing that stood out to me, when I was reading the ancestry powers pretty much every one had an ability I thought sounded amazingly powerful. The...

Aye

The badly mangled Kickstarter killed my interest in the game, unfortunately. It has some interesting qualities but I doubt I would want to run it for anything but the most relationship driven campaign since this seems to be it’s USP versus systems like Fate (IMHO at least).

When you need to be low, ducking is always a good option…

I voted ‘after a few adventures’ but it would be more accurate to say ‘after a few sessions’. Enough of a sample time to be confident there was an issue we wanted to do something about. I also prefer to minimise house rules.

There are 16 ‘Spotlight’ campaign implementations that were done as part of the original Kickstarter for Prime, but these have only been released to backers and the current owner seems to have no interest in releasing them more widely.

If you subscribe to Playstation+ then Gloomhaven is one of the free games this month.

My set is due for delivery tomorrow, so then I will start to dive into the details 🙂

It looks like more of the complexity is in the cards rather than in the class directly?

That clearly requires a Bend Bars / Lift Gates roll…

I’m looking forward to reading it. This is the second new game to capture my interest; the first was The Broken Empires. They are both systems which take a greatest hits of mechanics in other systems and mix them together to produce something new and interesting. But both are very different...

I don’t have the rules yet (should be with me in a day or so) but my current impression is that DaggerHeart seems similar to 13th Age in so much as the combat system has a fair bit of crunch while the non-combat mechanics are a lot more lightweight while still being present. I liked that about...

I’m not @SteveC and I don’t want to sound facetious, however that was pretty much the summary sales pitch of a whole bunch of not-Wizards D&D-alikes when the OGL scandal happened…

I did, in the UK. I don’t know if they got it through distribution, however.

GM intrusions from Cypher system are similar (I think it is name-checked in the inspiration section). I seem to recall a similar mechanic from the 2d20 games, though I haven’t played those personally. Some of the mechanical options in Cortex Prime also seem similar where a bad roll can result in...

There was also a beta programme, and some people have reviews out based on experience with that. Once they see the final rules they will know if most of their experiences likely still stand or if the final release changed things likely to impact them.

I’ve bought my copy from a UK retailer, there doesn’t seem to be a PDF ‘as standard’ with it. Anyone know if Darrington Press are usually happy to comp copies of PDFs with proof of purpose?

Recent details on this have made me curious, and I managed to find a store in the UK with a couple in stock so, order placed… This video really piqued my interest:
