I don’t think SF says, and I do not have the adventure, maybe someone else can help out here… EDIT: as an example he mentions the Ghast Gravecaller and Flaming Skeleton, both from the adventure The Will of Orcus. He also mentions that they do not even tell you the CR, so you cannot easily...

welcome to the club I guess ;)

How do these gofundmes work, the goal keeps going up whenever it has been reached it seems? At a minimum there was a 9k goal and a 16k one, while now it is 28k. I thought it would be a fixed goal like a KS (maybe without serving as a threshold for funds to be transferred) Not saying GR is doing...

I am sure they would prefer people to switch. Ultimately I brought this up because the OP starts with and that is not entirely accurate, so I pointed out that some stat blocks only exist in the 2024 books I figured some people might find this useful, did not expect the WotC fanclub to jump to...

I assume they also want people who stay with 2014 to buy new adventures. If not, they can simply say on the sleeve that this is for the 2024 books, but they chose not to I don’t really care if it is for 2024, but then say so on the sleeve

given that the book never says that you need the 2024 version and the whole point of compatibility was that you can use adventures with both versions, I felt this was worth pointing out. Would not have hurt them to include that handful of stat blocks (or suggestions for 2014 alternatives) if...

SlyFlourish in his review said that while the book never says which core to use, some of the stat blocks are only in the 2024 MM, not the 2014 one

the result is not binary, there are four outcomes after all. That you can draw a line between them where the ones on one side do not accomplish your objective and the ones on the other do does not change that

who cares, x with hope is better than x with fear, so there still are degrees in the result, not just yes/no. I never claimed more than that

call it what you want, succeeding with hope is a better outcome than succeeding with fear

that is semantics, unless you prescribe the side effect and ensure that it has nothing at all to do with the attempted task and its outcome

agreed on DS, I see success with a negative side effect as a degree of success too however. It is not automatically 90 degrees off, the number of degrees is defined by that side effect, and any negative side effect is worse than no negative effect, so it still establishes degrees of success...

no, I disagreed with it ;) DH has four tiers of success / failure, not two like D&D. Saying success is still binary because either you fail or you succeed, there just are additional consequences is just semantics. There still are four tiers, DS in comparison has three, so also tiered, and not...

sure it does, complete failure, fail with hope, succeed with fear, full success, or whatever it calls them 4 levels, not 2 like D&D. DS in turn has 3, but is more descriptive about them, not narrative

rolling 2 dice gives you a curve where the extremes are not as likely, like DH. Depending on your roll it is not just success or failure (like D&D) but varying degrees (like DH) Not sure DS is crunchier than 5e, I expect it to be more tactical though sure, I just consider the similarity to 4e...

and you have varying levels of success / failure, not just fail or succeed, like D&D

nvm

From what little I have seen, It's a crunchier and more tactical Daggerheart. You roll 2d10 (+ ability) and your result falls into one of three categories, depending on how well you rolled (<= 11, 12 - 16, >= 17)

they wrote one in a week when Target asked for a new starter set… they had plenty of opportunity

the magnitude, sure, but how many D&D computer games are there in any given month? It’s not like they were so busy doing stuff for all the others… it was clear for a long time that BG3 would be the biggest D&D computer game of the year, even if that would have meant 5M copies sold rather than 50...
