    [Daggerheart] Looking for some feedback on a (currently incomplete) class and domain

    Which is kinda funny, because I've been thinking about an Artificer class, and the Relic domain, if renamed to Enchantment/Infusion/Artifice and flavoured as the Artificer enchanting/creating the item rather than tapping into the Relic's power gets you a lot of the way there. My own thought is...

    Which summer movies are you looking forward most to?

    Superman looks interesting. Hoping Fantastic Four will be good. I wasn't going to touch any more Jurassic Park, but Jonathan Bailey does look really hot in it.

    Trailer Spaceballs 2: Not the Quest for More Money

    I'm impressed to see Pullman and Moranis back ... but I'll admit to being nervous. I doubt the sequel can be good, but I'm willing to be proven wrong.

    Get The Daggerheart SRD Here

    The licensing stuff is a little ... I'm gonna wait and let the dust settle and see if I can sift out the facts from the clickbait later. What I will say is the SRD is very complete and gave me enough confidence to actually buy the box set. So the value included is impressive.

    What do YOU plan on doing with Daggerheart?

    So, I'm intrigued enough by Daggerheart that I'm considering running it. I'm thinking a KISS scenario/short campaign where the party is doing Robin Hood. They've been named outlaws, there's a corrupt Baron oppressing the local villages and they're the Merry People that are a thorn in the Baron's...

    Spoilers Star Wars: Andor season 2

    I have to disagree, Dedra's arc was quite narratively satisfying, it demonstrates that fascism destroys even its most ardent supporters. Dedra is shown to be a true believer. And despite that, Syril, her and Partagaz are crushed by the very system they support.

    No Initiative Order: How Do You Do It?

    I've been a big fan of Popcorn initiative. I like how it allows some strategy and is more collaborative, I find set initiative causes players to check out when their turn is done. I now run 5e this way, and if ... when I play it, Daggerheart's lack of initiative is too loose for my players, will...

    What do YOU plan on doing with Daggerheart?

    There's interest among my friends to try out the system. Mind you, we've been in this "we should get together and play something" holding pattern for over a year so who knows if anything will come of it.

    I'll watch whenever it becomes more broadly available. Looks fun, glad to see Clem Fandango get more work.

    D&D Debuts Playtest for Psion Class

    Surprised, but glad to see this. I'll have to dig deeper into this, but my initial read is ... okay. I'm fine with leaving Psionics in the same spellcasting structure as a full caster ... one can simply add the Spellpoints system in the 2014 DMG in a sidebar. My biggest beef with the 3.5 XPH...

    Critical Role to Run Grimdark Daggerheart Miniseries

    Even the Redwall novels could be pretty bleak and dark. Or Secret of Nimh.

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    This is where I'm in a wait and test mode. Because, at least on initial read, I'm pretty happy with the compactness of the stat block and it looks pretty easy to both put them into play and build combat encounters quickly. But I have to see them in action first. Movement and size look pretty...

    Daggerheart Review: The Duality of Robust Combat Mechanics and Freeform Narrative

    Do the cards look like they'll need sleeves? I sleeve MTG cards because they're constantly shuffled and moved about, I don't know if that's necessary for the Domain cards, unless we're concerned about the quality of them

    What do YOU plan on doing with Daggerheart?

    I'm still trying to get a group together for a 5e campaign, I don't see myself playing Daggerheart anytime soon, unless a friend decides to run it. That said, I will probably watch the CR series, which will be my first. Currently I'm just playing around with the character generation, will...

    Right, the unified class progression is also a major 4e ism

    I am surprised I am still excited for Daggerheart

    The big one is in monster design, those Stat blocks look 4e ish, with roles, levels and a very functional design.

    I am surprised I am still excited for Daggerheart

    Tbh, I knew nothing about Daggerheart until this week, hadn't been following the news. But now that it's out, I'm actually impressed and debating acquiring it. I like having class features and such on cards, eases char gen. The game hits a lot of notes I like, although I have not DMed a PBTA...
