If I'm a 5e player who's interested in much more tactical play, why would I go to Draw Steel and not simply Pathfinder 2e which has way more content at this point? This isn't a challenge to DS and I'm not trying to boost Pathfinder here. P2e is currently the biggest option for 5e players...

Grimwild winning Gold here for Best Free Product will maybe bring more attention to the fact that the creator - J.D. Maxwell -- has been missing for months.

The Sanderson fans love their merch. I think 95% of the people who bought into the original KS don't even care it's a game and have no plan to play. They just saw an official product and with new lore by Sanderson and they bought. It sounds like the game is decent redrafting of D20 which...

To answer the question at the top of the channel... Nowadays I only buy stuff that I'm going to use. My limit is $60 for a hardcover. $25 for a pdf. Anything over, and I'm out. So I see Draw Steel at $140-150 (honestly not sure which price, I've seen both) for two core books at retail...

No idea what they'll be using going forward but I think CR is done with 100+ session campaigns. And I don't mean because Daggerheart might not be able to handle that, but because viewership has greatly fallen off as the very-long campaigns have plowed on and I think MM wants to produce more...

To steer this thread in less weird direction than nitpicking about players forgetting items... It was a good, instructive moment when in... ep5? maybe ep6?... one of the PCs was trying to get across the battlefield and MM told them they would have to make an Agility roll to do so. Travis says...

Ugh

I don't have players losing their minds over the system because I have the virtue of having assembled a new group to play Daggerheart rather than trying to convert over anyone. So everyone I found is into these types of PbtA games or they've investigated DH enough that they're interested in...

It is not being released tomorrow as was the plan. They sent word to the patrons, not the backers, that the release would be delayed at least a week.

I agree, that does happen a lot. Luckily, my group and I played it first and then hated it.

Last I heard anyone discuss it, the game has been pushed back nearly a year from when it was originally promised. And then I hear tale that the game, which stated its aim to be "more dynamic and fluid" than D&D has 29(!) conditions in its latest iteration. I don't know much more about this. So...

I don't want some weird story game where success is determined first and then portioned out over play; it was a strange conflict model that totally undercut dramatic tension. Kind of hated it. I'm not saying that 7th Sea needs to focus on traditional game mechanics, I'm fine with going very...

Cortext Prime thinks 5e and Daggerheart are total amateurs. And writing this all out, it's maybe a good reason I've come to loathe Cortex. Roll the dice: Roll all the dice in the assembled pool ( based on their relevant traits. Traits are typically grouped into sets like Attributes and Skills...

100% this. I recently wrapped a year long Genesys urban fantasy campaign and the amount of cognitive overload I was dealing was exhausting. Running DH with very similar ideas of 'bad meta-currency accrual' is just way easier. Even before I started reading DH, I was thinking of hacking into...

Yea, if I were to institute Aspects into the game, I would use one Hope to set up a temporary Aspect on a scene. I actually found in play people were maxing out on Hope and setting up Aspects seems like a fine outlet for that resource. Also, it'll correct itself if there's an issue - if they...

Ok, ran the game for the first time. An incredibly positive experience for me personally and for pretty much everyone at the table (6 players). A noteworthy thing: Combat was way more engaging for everyone at the table compared to the usual d20 slog I go through with 5e or P2e - everyone was...

Nice! That’s ton of new material and harkens well for the immediate future of this game.

Sure but how was Paizo supposed to virtue signal by using the same license that their greatest enemy is using?!

Campaign frames are homebrew settings which, fine, but I couldn't care less about seeing more of those. What I personally want is below: Give me LOTS more play tested Domain powers for pre-existing Domains. Give me more subclasses for everything. More classes. That's it. In that order.

ok, I will say I love when Matt corrects Travis on how helping works in Ep 3. That is... Travis (and then the other players) started referring to helping in a shorthand manner by saying they were giving Hope to another player. Matt took the moment to say, no... players can't give hope as a...
