I mean, in the penultimate episode (or maybe the one before) of Campaign 3, he literally squeaked "I love D&D!" like an excited child. That's after Daggerheart was well into development, after the OGL fiasco. The only thing the man loves more than D&D is the people he plays it with.

Not only that, but they were playing Pathfinder 1e before moving to D&D5e for streaming, Matt was playing 3.x before that, and as we've seen from when he ran Monsterhearts and Candela Obscura, he really doesn't grasp that style of play. Matt is D&D diehard through and through.

Oh, man. That adds a layer of context that's totally missing in the English version. It comes across as Green Destiny just being a fancy sword, so she wants it because why wouldn't she. I'm wondering if this warrants a signature ability to pair with it. But I'm drawing a blank for what, right...

Absolutely. By "worse", I of course mean: I liked less. And it's precisely for the observation you mentioned - straying further from the tactical combat. I do think DA2 gets far more hate than is deserved. I actually welcomed the more personal, smaller scale story because I'm sick of end of the...

That's quite the ordering. Personally, I've thought each game was worse than the one before, regardless of polish.

You are the one conflating things here. Logic - or, more accurately, logical reasoning - is a process of reaching a conclusion based on drawing from inferences and making connections. While it's true that starting from a flawed premise will result in a flawed outcome (garbage in, garbage out)...

I've had this rant elsewhere, regarding adaptations from one media to another. See Netflix's Witcher series vs The Last of Us.

If he has it statted up, I'd love to see how it compares.

I've been thinking about how to model the Green Destiny from Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (and it's sequel, Sword of Destiny) in RBRB. It's a jian, so that's the obvious place to start. However, at several points throughout the movie, it's described as fast, so I'm thinking it'd be...

Prepare to be disappointed! I started writing it up on paper before switching over to Homebrewery, but I've lost the Homebrewery file (which had more progress than my handwritten notes), so what follows is my half-formed thoughts from the time. Hit Points Hit Dice: 1d6 per level HP at 1st...

Ah, yes, the Abu Salim special.

Sounds like a standard Sabbat pack.

I will say, it certainly seems to be the BitD version of a munchkin. One small caveat to that: flashbacks. The GM is the one who decides the stress cost of a given flashback, based on plausibility, essentially. This a pet peeve of mine from Blades players. The book specifies "out of the...

Laughs in British politics.

Have you tried V:TM V5? The way you talk about Masquerade, it sounds like you haven't. If that's the case, it draws inspiration from Requiem, bringing in the touchstones (though limited to mortals only) as a means for Kindred to maintain their humanity. Gone are the Paths of What I Would Have...

I'm trying to avoid too much thread drift (though that seems to be de jure here), but I enjoyed Reign of Assassins, and I think it's good inspiration for a wuxia RPG campaign. I'd also throw in Sword of Destiny too. It's a terrible sequel to Crouching Tiger, but it's a great standalone wuxia film.

So, it is absolutely a rule incentive in that vein. To explain, it is probably better to work backwards. There are four XP triggers: When you make a desperate action roll. Your playbook-specific xp trigger. For example, the Cutter’s is “Address a challenge with violence or coercion.” You...

It is, yeah. It's more prevalent on the BitD subreddit, often brought up in response to (GMs complaining about) new players being cautious in avoiding trauma. It also came up from time to time on the old G+ community.

I think it's incredibly unlikely that CR swap to Daggerheart for their main campaign. The question is not whether they will lose viewers doing so - they will - the question is how many? What tends to get overlooked in the various Daggerheart vs D&D discussions is that the CR viewership has a...

I only really started watching wuxia with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (like oh so many Westerners, I expect), so I'm only really familiar with the modern wire-fu films. Yeah, I kinda consider wuxia films - I guess especially the older stuff - to basically be the Chinese equivalent of the Ray...
