I... I did not realize that. I have been refreshing Fear and Hope at the start of each session. Huh.

Interestingly, this is exactly the opposite of what player skill means in the context of most discussions about it.

Either paying fear or giving hope at the moment does not make any sense. It is the end of the BBEG fight by definition, therefore very likely the end of any need for spending fear and hope for the session.

Sure, but in a supers game I kind of like a carrot more than a stick.

What setting mechanics would you implement for a super-hero Daggerheart game? One thing I was thinking of is a special Death Move for villains called "No One Could Survive That" that basically compels the players to not chase down a villain. Maybe everyone gets an extra Hope at the start of the...

Whatever timeline you are experiencing must be the final timeline from your perspective, unless there is some mechanism by which you could perceive a different timeline. More likely, if time travel is possible, it is possible only through closed timelike curves and other artificial phenomena...

The more I think about the title of this thread, the less appropriate an analogy it seems. Quantum ogres are about railroading. Players don't have an equivalent power. "Don't mess with my agency" is not the same thing as "you're going to go on this adventure whether you like it or not."

Yes. This. Experiences are just FATE Aspects.

Every year I attend and run games at 3 regional (USA New England) cons and sometimes hit one of the big cons (GenCon, Origins) or a smaller local con.

It is just a ballpark that I use for myself. It does not have to make sense to anyone else.

Out of curiosity, how did you land on that number? I do something similar, but I measure it against seeing a movie in the theater -- which is about 7$/hour now where I live. So if I buy an RPG (and/or also get the Fantasy grounds file) or buy a video game or whatever, I want to get cost/$7 hours...

That was fast. Sign ups opened a half hour ago from this posting and already I have 2 slots full and only 3 seats between the other 2 slots. 3 of the players are All in, which really helps with this kind of convention mini campaign.

If the kinds of questions you see dominating the subreddits for these games are any indication, this is exactly right.

You think Beyond gives better info? Okay, I guess.

You'll be able to buy it off Amazon. It's okay.

That said, I can see using 2d10 and rolling hope and fear as simple narrative nudges.

Beyond only measures D&D, and not particularly accurately since we have no idea how many of those accounts are active. All I am saying is that if you want to see who is playing RPGs, look at cons -- especially the smaller regional ones. GenCon or Origins is a family vacation in cost, so it is...

And most gamers don't support kickstarters. Even the biggest kickstarters have fewer people than attend GenCon, and most far, far less. If you take out the 2 big licensed ones -- Cosmere and Avatar -- the biggest are based on YouTube influencer followers.
