I gotta agree. Feel like a tonal disconnect has occurred. I don't think it means anyone made a mistake per se. Sometimes we don't know our expectations until they are violated.

And yet its still clearly far too small to represent the size of the creature.

I mean, the mini proves my point. It is a gorgeous, massive piece that is visibly crammed onto that base.

It's better this way. A bad actor is called out. People shun them. Years go by and you wonder if their time out in the cold has changed them, helped them learn to be a polite community member. And then they come out of their bag and you know. It's better to know.

As the first pick shows off, scaling in DnD can sometimes be an impediment because of the face that creatures need to function as 5x5 squares. That dragon is larger than a football field. No way you could place that on your game table.

I am fascinated by the choice of a more "ArdKore" setting conceit for the series. Some of the design aesthetics so far for Daggerheart have read as very cute, and I have to think this is to highlight how the system is more versatile than one might assume.

I kinda think I need to see it in hand to judge.

We all have our own lines. Dealbreakers that might make us shy away from a given product or artist. But like in all things, we are judged by the company we keep. We are judged by what we accept and condone to at least some degree. Yes, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but seeing...

The lower price point somehow makes me uneasy. It makes me worry that there won't be much here beyond an update to 5+ ed.

I just don't trust people who claim to be just reasonable and wanting to hear people out when we have already heard people out and made reasonable judgements as to the nature of their character. Unless things have changed, why change how you react to such scoundrels? I am very warry of people...

Again, these terms have no clear definitions in the space, but it does lead to an interesting thought. Is a "normal" campaign one which lasts the entire lifespan of a given group of PCs? Can characters be played over multiple campaigns?

Firefly. By being only one season, it was all killer, no filler.

So for me, a campaign can have a singular goal, but has steps towards that goal and can have intermittent side quests that may or may not advance the primary goal.

Also, as a further muddling point, what is short is point of discussion in and of itself.

I agree that many modern modules published by WotC are campaigns, not adventures. Curse of Strahd is a campaign.

So I am at this point a big advocate for brief campaigns between longer ones. I'm not of the "This game has been going for 20+ yrs" school. More like 2-4 yrs max. Then on to something new. But a palate cleanser, with an eye to running a completely different game, is very much how my mind is...

For me, this is a double edged sword. One of the things that soured me on 4th Ed is that they kept making small changes. I sometimes feel that, similar to video games, having online access for publishers to make later changes means they can feel encouraged to release an incomplete product and...

That all may be true for you, certainly. But physical media is superior in that when I have it, I own it. As for owning games I will never play or run, yeah, but I like to READ games. It makes me a better GM all around to be exposed to numerous ideas, even if they are paths I don't go down...

Folks, whether gamebooks are exempt or not, game stores are going to break simply because most of them are highly dependent on TCGs to keep their doors open. And from what I can tell, those will go up. And when the shops close, new TCGs will die off because there is no free demo grounds to...

It is wild how there is going to be a knock on effect in that this may be the final nail in the coffin for independent game stores. And without them as breeding grounds for interest in TCGs, many TCGs may wither on the vine. The big 3 can weather the storm most likely, but it's going to have...
