    What do YOU plan on doing with Daggerheart?

    Well, my Robin Hood one-shot went off last night ... and now I've got to make this into a campaign. So I'm planning to write up a full campaign frame for what I made and what the players added in.

    The Daggerheart Inspirational Thread [+]

    ... Well, I ran my first session last night, and the two things that really stood out for me were: 1. Experiences and Connections. That section of character building did a lot of flesh in a world that I had barely sketched for a simple one-shot ... that now seems to be a promising campaign. A...

    Eberron: Forge of the Artificer Delayed Until December

    Frustrating, but a good call on their part.

    Draw Steel: Fake variety helps no one

    Also, just going by the classes listed by the OP ... some names feel like they'd be a better fit for a more sci-fi fantasy RPG, than a DnD derivative. I know Draw Steel is supposed to have it's own default setting, so maybe that's intentional? I will admit I still know very little about the...

    Draw Steel: Fake variety helps no one

    Between the different resources and the different class names ... Draw Steel is giving me tryhard vibes. We're changing the names to make them different. I dunno, MTG designers always talk about resonance, using names that work with what you're trying to do, and this feels purposefully against that.

    Draw Steel News

    Everyone is running away from the D20, huh? I am curious how much crunchier Draw Steel is. Because 5e is close to the top for me these days, Pathfinder 2 was too much. So Draw Steel falls on the wrong side for me, but it might still be interesting to me.

    Yes and no ... I think? Still haven't played yet, so this is theory-crafting, but Solos look Fear hungry, as they can spotlight multiple times per GM turn, but that does mean if you have the Fear to spend you don't have as much of a Action Economy issue.

    Sinners (2025)

    I'm still in awe over the scene, and have been replaying that song a lot. Need to rewatch the movie, but I loved it.

    There are. The Fallen Warlord and Volcanic Dragon in Tier 4 are phased creatures. The Volcanic Dragon has three phases, it starts as Obsidian Predator, then Molten Scourge and finally Ashen Tyrant. Whether these can actually hang as legit Solo encounters is another question.

    Doctor Which

    I've still not really dug into a lot of Classic Who, aside from Troughton, who I like with Jamie, but also is missing so much of his run. All of the relaunch Doctors have been great. Tennant to me, is probably the iconic doctor now, sorry Tom Baker, but it's true. Whittaker and Gatwa, though...

    Phase 5 of the MCU is over

    The Good: The Marvels, Deadpool & Wolverine, Thunderbolts, GotG3 and Agatha All Along The Bad: Quantumania, Captain America, Secret Invasion The Didn't Watch: Secret Invasion (I gave up after the first episode), Loki, Echo, Daredevil, Ironheart and What If 3. Which I guess just leaves What If S2...

    It also allows for some fun dice pools for rolling damage because it does get capped on both ends. Rolling d20s for damage, like in the Codex Fireball spell is just going to be fun.

    How many "steps" is too many?

    The other thing to consider is how easily can steps be short cutted? For example, a big roll in Daggerheart or 5e means I can often skip the math. A 10 and 11 on your duality dice to attack? Yeah that'll hit. 14 on a D20 when I know the AC is 15? Don't bother looking up that attack modifier that...

    Bob Worldbuilder debunks the Daggerheart license “scandal”

    Depends. If you are using already existing domains, it's pretty quick. Already a bunch of homebrew classes filling the grid. Longer if you are creating additional domains.

    I really enjoyed the book, looking forward to the movie. They've redesigned a lot of stuff, but that's cool.

    It helps that Eberron can support a lot of frames. Depending on what you want to spotlight, you can borrow from 5 Banners Burning for a political intrigue campaign between the 5 Nations, Expeditions into Xen'drik or the Mournlands can focus on dungeon delving, can do a more noir-ish urban...
