I had the chance to play Dusk City Outlaws last year with Rodney running it. I really had a great time. Rodney is a great GM, and the system was solid. If Neon City uses the same system, I think it will be excellent.

If people haven't seen it, this is very slick. The character sheet is two columns, and they have a sheet you can cut in half and then place to the left and the right of the sheet. The add-on tells you about what the items on the character sheet mean. This is a very slick idea!

I know this is sort of off topic, but the rules are silent on this. In your campaign, if you want lore that the players can learn, that's how you run it. I wonder how that's different from not having the lore in the first place. The 5E/5.5E skill rules are ... sparsh, and I think that's a...

I’ve mentioned it before but I think some of the discussions we’re having right now would have fit in there decades ago! You will be missed.

I've been following the development of the game since it started (which includes playing a six-session mini-campaign), and I have seen a lot of hate or disdain sent its way. I don't really understand it, other than people who strongly dislike Critical Role. Add in those people who don't like...

I was patching for work and so had a lot of time to spend waiting and even that didn't handle this discussion. If you're interested in the games that are referenced as influences for Daggerheart, Knights of Last Call discusses most of them. Highly recommended, even if this one is waaaaaaay too...

I do get how more time cooking is needed by a lot of games that get rushed but there's no way that the new Dragon Age game was going to work as a Dragon Age game. I think it could have worked on it's own, but for me the series was a tactical RPG along the lines of Baldur's Gate. The game play...

That is a really interesting point. I have a daughter who is neurodivergent, and it would be interesting to see information about this. I've spoken with her doctors but none of them really had any info to share. As she gets to the age where I was playing D&D, I'd love to get her started. I...

As opposed to traditional D20 rpgs that people on EnWorld will be familiar with front and center. It is a much more narrative game than most traditional RPG players are going to be familiar with. If all you've played is 5E, it may likely be a bridge too far. I am someone who's played a ton of...

I think DaggerHeart is very interesting, but I'd only recommend it if you're looking for a new RPG that does things differently. If you're happy with your current game, perhaps it's not worth your time. It is, however, very shiny, and does things very differently from D&D. If you are interested...

Back when I started, there weren't a lot of other RPGs out there. But I soon saw Traveller, RuneQuest, and Tunnels and Trolls around, and that ignited my "gotta catch 'em all!" mentality.

Well, I picked up my copy of the PDF today. Next up: reading it!

Although I am not able to do so while at work, it seems that Drivethrurpg has the core rules available in PDF. Have to check this out tonight.

I honestly find it strange more than anything else. I enjoy PbtA games and have a lot of them. There are a lot of D&D-esque versions out there. A simple search found plenty of articles on finding the fantasy PbtA game that's right for you. And there are tons of them I've never heard of! I...

Reading over this thread gave me some old school Alarums and Excursions feelings. I've been thinking about it since I heard it's finally shutting down. This feels like a discussion we could have had back in the 1970s. It's kind of nice to see how RPGs and how to play them are still an issue in...

From what I've seen, random damage and increasing hit points are unusual in PbtA. I've played a fair bit of Monster of the Week, which has a Harm system, and characters have a set amount of Harm they can take before death, and injuries over a certain point are Serious Wounds. That's the closest...

Does anyone know about the playbooks? DW had playbooks for the classic D&D classes, which were part of the association with D&D. It sounds like it won't be using the ability scores from D&D, so I wonder about the classes. I've recently been told that a game with D&D classes in the PbtA sense is...

I think I'm in the same place. One of the things I like about DW is that it is a bridge for D&D players to come into the PbtA world. If you read about how to run games in PbtA fashion, you both get something mechanically fun, but also something for those players to take back with them into the...

I'm absolutely not implying you shouldn't have whatever opinions you like! That's what drives discussion and makes EnWorld interesting. I was just explaining why I think it's a worthwhile topic to discuss. It's honestly not something I'd bring up in a general thread about what's in the book...

I think you're missing that the price point was in the thread title, so that's what got me thinking about it. But beyond that, I've been here since the days of 3E where we had a lot of discussions of books or other supplements that it wasn't even worth WotC's time to publish. A lot of the...
