Well, TBF ... I did just run a single Solo against 5 PCs and while they weren't fully rested, this battle was not a cakewalk and if I'd had the Flickerfly focus fire on a PC, I could have downed one. The Wizard and Warrior both got rocked in the battle. Overall, I've found combat math accurate...

All of them once we're in combat. I find I can focus too much on the mechanics of the creatures and less on their personality when I'm trying to manage a battle.

I'm happy for their success, though I imagine it's frustrating for those that haven't gotten their copies yet

Well, tbf, they also say these are guidelines that even they don't always follow. My guess is that they wanted a squishier Bard, and give the classes most likely to be off on their own a bit more resilience. Maybe when they do a Skald subclass it'll gain extra HP like the School of War Wizard...

My current group has a superfan (he went to the Sanderson convention a few months back), and a casual reader, and the rest of us (including myself) haven't read any of his books. So there's some interest in maybe playing the system, but Daggerheart is suiting us well and there's both DnD 5e24...

The homebrew kit says that both Wizard and Bard get reduced hitpoints due to access to the Codex domain, which is why they both start with 5 (Also Valor domain generally gets an extra hitpoint). Note that this is only referring to Core classes, while a few Void classes also have 5 starting HP...

Ivanova: Oh, this is demeaning! I mean, we're not some - some deep space franchise, this station is about something! What fun. Lampshade it to heck, add a lot of meta references and still include some solid character work (I really liked that last conversation between Una and Scotty), and I'll...

Depends on how they're implemented. Something like a Pathfinder adventure path or a lot of DnD modules would be ... too prescriptive and yes, not quite right for Daggerheart. But I could see some pre-made encounters, villain countdown clocks and a light structure to better help a DM get going...

Character packs are cool, but I don't know if I'll bother backing the kickstarter. I'll be interested in seeing the price point though. Because I do like these as a way for players to buy in without having to shell out for the full system. More campaign frames and settings are really cool, I'm...

I expected the Homebrew kit to be part of a book ... didn't expect it to just appear on the site. I like it a lot, and it's full of good info

Daggerheart Session 2: Forest Maintenance generates great Fear. (Both literally because the Party rolled with Fear a lot, but also because I tried out a juvenile Flickerfly against the party and a few PCs had to explain the various fears they witnessed)

Are we likely to get WotC announcements on upcoming products, or do they tend to do it later in the year? I'm most interested in Daggerheart material, I just want more stuff. PC content (The stuff in the Void is looking good), but also DM content. Environments, Adversaries, Campaign Frames. But...

The transformation is interesting in that each offers a boon and a penalty. The Demigod, for example, rolls a d10 instead of a d6 as an advantage die, but gives the GM additional fear. I like this, conceptually. Simpler than the idea I had been noodling around for similar character themes.

New Void updates. Changes have been made to everything currently in the Void, but now they've added transformation options for werewolf or vampire PCs.

I remember liking Dark Skies, or at least crushing on Eric Close. There were a lot of X-Files clones those days, most were trash, but I dug the period piece nature of that one. Roar ... well I already mentioned Robin of Sherwood in this thread ... and I loved Xena ... so yeah, Roar was...

Honestly, the one that surprised me was Cmdr Ellen Landry, given how she died, attacking a tardigrade. A Starfleet Academy series has been a thing talked about for awhile, and I'm interested in seeing how it'll function. While I'd be interested in trying it out in other eras of Trek continuity...

I have so many dice, and yet thinking that I need the right pairs for Hope/Fear has led me to wanting to buy dice again ... I'm not even playing, I'm the DM that gets to use the d20!

I didn't think I was done with DnD ... tbh, I still want to play it. But I'll confess Daggerheart kinda stole my heart. It's simpler, faster and just seems to have synthesized a lot of elements from other games and made them work together. I do think that it is primarily that my taste for...

I think, though this is a guess after only one session and some theory crafting, that a phased solo like the Volcanic Dragon can fit the bill as a legit solo threat. But normal solos are more like 4e elites.

I just discovered him, I'm watching his review of Daggerheart.
