My main worry for tomorrow is my players managing the spotlight (I have 2 that I feel may assert themselves more than the two brand new to ttrpg players I have just added to my group)... for that I think I will start with the freeform spotlight but if I notice it happening regularly we switch...

Yes because you set a totally different tone for this conversation with your last post... I think I was pretty clear about that when I used the words browbeating and aggressive. I did engage with it... what you have a problem with is that my engagement is... I need more data before I accept X...

I'd be very interested in comparing notes as my group is also 6 people thought I think I might only have 5 for my first session tomorrow.

Nope, it's stating... Need more data. I've admitted i don't have experience playing the game... thus I believe it is premature to declare it 2x faster than 5e... As for whether I am going to play the game, I've bought it, read it, and have a group who made characters up last Saturday to play...

Ok... because your anecdotal experience is all the data needed to come to a sound conclusion... especially since you earlier rejected another poster's anecdotal claim... but yes continue to tell me how I'm wrong with your minimal data points. I'm not wrong because I haven't come to a conclusion...

Ah ok, my bad I misread.

This also brings up another point in that for most of the Daggerheart combats it's a smaller group... no Liam and no Laura until episode 4. I'm not saying DH definitively isn't faster than D&D... I'm saying I think it's premature to start claiming it runs 2x faster.

The Daggerheart terrain is set up much quicker than the D&D terrain... it's set up beforehand offscreen and he just brings the board over.

And I'm not sure why the DH combat with the Guardian (17 mins) and the combat with the Corrupted Katori (53 mins) have such a large variation for a single monster battle... Yeah it's almost like both systems have variable factors that can increase or decrease the time a combat takes depending...

You know with the magic of YouTube we have actual times to compare. My theory is that people are comparing high level D&D fights with these low level Daggerheart combats... when if you actually look at some of the numbers... the times are around the same range... also I'll note there is alot...

Cool.

You know what... you're right and to be fair I have found shows that do a better job of showcasing the strengths and differences of Daggerheart vs. D&D like Bitten... so I'm going to bow out.

Nevermind

It's crazy to me that a valid criticism of the AP is getting this much pushback from a couple of posters...not because it's incorrect... but because if others are doing it it shouldn't be an issue. Going to step away because I like the game and am not trying to get soured on it (or it's...

Subjective, so cool... I will reserve judgement until I've played over an extended period of time and with higher level characters. You're misrepresenting alot here... but whatever floats your boat. Another thing AoU isn't showcasing. Nothing happens in the fiction dependent upon what they...

I'm trying to reinforce my learning of the game through watching the game's owners play it professionally. Not rules lawyering (which to be fair... wanting someone to play a game by its principles and rules isn't that.)

I'm not saying they shouldn't have lenience in learning the new rules... though again I feel less so with the very basics of the game... I'm continuing to watch it and adding to the viewership because I like Daggerheart and want them to show what the system can do (as well as serve as a...

No but I think you're overstating So are we speaking about Daggerheart or the AoU AP? And this is exactly the audience (Mainly traditional ttrpg players that AoU should be showing their criticisms are unfounded if the game is ran properly... Instead we see the AoU in fact being run with the...

I didn't get the 5e vibe from them... but they are more concerned with mechanics, balance, and the actual gameplay... including why use DH instead of 5e if you're just going to play it like 5e... which admittedly is an intriguing question.

That's like claiming an advertisement for a videogame and a tutorial/playthrough are the same thing... I'd say there's a pretty big difference though both could convince you that a particular product is for you. What else am I supposed to speak to, isn't that what all of us are posting...
