I run the Chris Pine MTG card as the Commander of one of my fav EDH decks. I'd normally pass on box sets like this, but I am impressed with the retro vibe and the amount of stuff in the box. I'm in for tokens and cards and such.

Oh. I don't buy Lynnvander products. Shocked at the number of crossover products they've managed to make.

I've already told my players that I'm treating their Experiences are a little like Character Aspects and one can spend a Hope to make a narrative declaration.

One of my complaints with some modern Trek starship battles is that they sometimes overdo it and fill the screen with too much stuff. Discovery S2 finale vs. Control, or this battle with the Gorn fighters, there's just too much going on. Compare that to the duel with the Shepherds in "Children...

I threw two minor demons against a party of 5 PCs ... and definitely could have put a PC or two into death moves. The fear generation was pretty good.

One of the things Daggerheart unabashedly does is push GMs and players to customize and make it their own. One thing that really stood out for me was the example of play. One, it mixes combat and non-combat in the write-up, but what really made the section stand out was after the example of...

Well, my Robin Hood one-shot went off last night ... and now I've got to make this into a campaign. So I'm planning to write up a full campaign frame for what I made and what the players added in.

Daggerheart: One-shot ... Now a full campaign! :-D

... Well, I ran my first session last night, and the two things that really stood out for me were: 1. Experiences and Connections. That section of character building did a lot of flesh in a world that I had barely sketched for a simple one-shot ... that now seems to be a promising campaign. A...

Frustrating, but a good call on their part.

I saw it and loved it.

Also, just going by the classes listed by the OP ... some names feel like they'd be a better fit for a more sci-fi fantasy RPG, than a DnD derivative. I know Draw Steel is supposed to have it's own default setting, so maybe that's intentional? I will admit I still know very little about the...

Between the different resources and the different class names ... Draw Steel is giving me tryhard vibes. We're changing the names to make them different. I dunno, MTG designers always talk about resonance, using names that work with what you're trying to do, and this feels purposefully against that.

Everyone is running away from the D20, huh? I am curious how much crunchier Draw Steel is. Because 5e is close to the top for me these days, Pathfinder 2 was too much. So Draw Steel falls on the wrong side for me, but it might still be interesting to me.

Yes and no ... I think? Still haven't played yet, so this is theory-crafting, but Solos look Fear hungry, as they can spotlight multiple times per GM turn, but that does mean if you have the Fear to spend you don't have as much of a Action Economy issue.

I'm still in awe over the scene, and have been replaying that song a lot. Need to rewatch the movie, but I loved it.

There are. The Fallen Warlord and Volcanic Dragon in Tier 4 are phased creatures. The Volcanic Dragon has three phases, it starts as Obsidian Predator, then Molten Scourge and finally Ashen Tyrant. Whether these can actually hang as legit Solo encounters is another question.

I got Ace Attorney and Disco Elysium. And a Root DLC.

I've still not really dug into a lot of Classic Who, aside from Troughton, who I like with Jamie, but also is missing so much of his run. All of the relaunch Doctors have been great. Tennant to me, is probably the iconic doctor now, sorry Tom Baker, but it's true. Whittaker and Gatwa, though...

The Good: The Marvels, Deadpool & Wolverine, Thunderbolts, GotG3 and Agatha All Along The Bad: Quantumania, Captain America, Secret Invasion The Didn't Watch: Secret Invasion (I gave up after the first episode), Loki, Echo, Daredevil, Ironheart and What If 3. Which I guess just leaves What If S2...
