    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    I really hope there's that kind of lead time.

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    I'm glad they're putting stuff up, but I'm surprised at the pace. The core set had its limited release on 20 May and its wide release on 3 Jun. The first Void post was 20 May with two classes. The second Void post was toady (24 Jun) with two updated classes, two new classes, and a dozen...

    Critical Role Announces Age of Umbra Daggerheart Campaign, Starting May 29th

    Absolutely fair. Though that's only what there's video of. Despite running D&D for a living, Matt doesn't just play D&D. He's talked about a bunch of the other games he enjoys and plays. It's probably a very safe assumption that he's played a hell of a lot more D&D 5E than any other game, sure...

    Critical Role Announces Age of Umbra Daggerheart Campaign, Starting May 29th

    Yeah. That's weird. In talking up the game they keep saying stuff like Daggerheart is designed to facilitate how they play or want to play...and yet Matt just runs it as if it were D&D. But, then he did the exact same thing with Candela Obscura.

    D&D General D&D Variants Forum

    Since the reshuffle I’m getting error messages for every thread I’ve tried outside the D&D forums. Including the meta threads…which is why I’m posting this here.

    VTT/online-play Etiquette and Horror Stories

    It comes down to whether it disrupts the game or would be considered cheating regardless of the format. If you're preventing others from having fun, that's a problem. If you're cheating, that's a problem. You left off one of my biggest pet peeves. People feeling the need to police others'...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    Far more likely they are bots. Much cheaper than paying someone. The dead internet theory strikes again.

    The corps and their investors, sure. Random techbros and forum posters, nah.

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    I've tried to do that, too, but in response I get "you're intentionally trying to confuse it" or some such nonsense. Some people think “AI” is so amazing, so perfect, so awesome that any mistakes it makes must be user error or people lying about it. We are so completely screwed as a species.

    Making it up yourself is always the best course of action.

    New Tunnels & Trolls first look at UK Games Expo.

    Absolutely the same. I was over the moon about 2E and not really sure about the changes for 3E, but once I saw what they did, I fell in love all over again. Over the Edge 3E is one of my top five all-time favorite RPGs.

    Odd thing to bring up if you don’t think it’s a problem.

    What are you reading in 2025?

    Reading through a stack of new books. Mutual Aid by Dean Spade. This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed by Charles E. Cobb Jr. How Nonviolence Protects the State by Peter Gelderloos. Jakarta Method by Vincent Bevins. And Conquest of Bread by Peter Kropotkin. I might be in a mood.

    Spoilers Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

    Yes, just like in any war. That doesn’t change the fact that she has nothing to be repentant about. The colonizing army could have simply left. They could have not brought their loved ones to a colonized world. Any collateral damage is 100% on them. Again, look at history.

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    Yeah. It’s far more about tone and mood and punishing mechanics than actually, honestly scared players sitting at your table. You don’t want people at your dining room table to be scared. Creeped out, unsettled, etc yes absolutely. People do weird, stupid, and potentially dangerous things when...

    Pineapple Express: Someone Is Wrong on the Internet?

    They almost added ascending AC to 2E but chickened out. Most if not all the changes were house rules lots of people were already using for years by the time 2E rolled around.

    She has nothing to be repentant about. She was a freedom fighter. Pick any country and look in its history you’ll find plenty of examples of people who are called freedom fighter by the people they helped liberate and terrorist by those they fought against. Any of the former colonies of the...

    D&D General Zero-Prep D&D Game?

    No, of course not. I'm honestly just curious. That's not my experience with improv comedy at all. Are you making a distinction between improv comedy and improv theater? Yeah, I'm not seeing a distinction that makes a difference here. They strike me as two ways of saying the same thing. As I...

    Daggerheart General Thread [+]

    If you look at it a certain way, most genres would fall under that same umbrella. The hardcore sim and wargame are left out, of course. But most everything else is “theater kid stuff” as you say. There’s already some Star Wars campaign frames and house rules floating around. I’m sure someone’s...
