When I noted I felt similarity Legend of the Mist and Daggerheart I mean that I think they're both trying to "sell" to the same type of table-interest: Narrative driven storytelling with a 'game' to provide structure. They have very different approaches it seems, but I imagine the same player...

Decently detailed look through of the game:

I somehow missed that this title was even coming out until I was looking on DriveThruRPG the other day and noticed it was (at the time), number 2. Seems like it just came out middle of August 2025, digitally at least, with print on the way. It looks like it's aimed at the same style of gaming...

I want sheets, and I want a die roller that is configured into the game system we're using well enough that it will tell me the result of an action that used a die roll. So tell if an attack hit, tell me if a lock was picked, tell me if I got hope or fear, tell me how many successes I rolled...

If you or a player at your table ever actually uses it, then chances are someone at the table needs to get booted out. In my experience before the days of this concept existing, that someone (when the card would have been used if we'd thought of the idea to have it) would have usually been the...

I can't stay awake for anyone's actual play of D&D or Pathfinder. I've literally fallen asleep in the middle of my most wakeful times of the day trying to watch those. Despite having been a Pathfinder GM up until Daggerheart came out - the game is just boring to watch. As is D&D. It gets too...

The list of content on the void is already notable and full of items players want to use. I'm in a game that wrapped session 0 last week. I spent from then till today helping my future GM set up Foundryborne because 2 of the players picked classes from the Void, and a third picked the GM's...

Pretty much that right there. The roll20 one is... meh. I feel for the Demiplane folks. They have a nice looking suite of tools, and they got bought by folks who dial it in. Foundry and the SRD is going to become an issue and Darrington is going to eventually need to get pressured to step up...

This round of playtest and errata ALSO included a license update which has changed it so that people can work on VTT material and they've 'whitelisted' Foundry. There's a community made Foundry project that is in the 'soon' state: Foundryborne - Daggerheart FoundryVTT System - and those folks...

This is such a 'it depends' question. There's a time when you want to play Paranoia where you PC has almost negative importance, and another time when you want to play Mutants and Masterminds and you're a world saving super hero. Even if I 'narrow this to the typical 'litRPG style fantasy...

That one's a bit of a culture shock for me coming from Pathfinder 2E, but over in the D&D 5E world it feels like they take away your 'DM Card' if you don't have at least 73 pages of houserules BEFORE you even buy the DMG. ;) Critical Role also, hasn't really been following the rules for years...

It's not though. A cleric is a warrior of a religion who exists to spread their faith at the end of the threat of violence. Using that term just peels away all attempts at making it sound better, but that is what it is. And it's a concept that isn't common in fantasy literature in the modern...

They've been debating that issue over on the Daggerheart in Foundry discord, 'Foundryborne'. They've locked invites while they sort out legalities so I can't send you one - but there's a lot of uncertainty. You have to think about whether or not it is worth risking it, even if you think you...

Daggerheart lacks a 'cleric' like class. You can do 'healer' with Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard, Bard, and Seraph in differing ways. but there's no express 'kill heretics' class - only an implied one in seraph. Personally from a fantasy conceptualization point of view I'm glad it's not there. I'm not...

I'm not a fan of milestone advancement systems. Both as a player and as a GM - I like seeing a build up of progression. I have found it hard to maintain interest as a player in the games I've been in that used milestone, and as a GM this is one of my bigger concerns with running Daggerheart...

This is worrying for Daggerheart: https://www.daggerheart.com/faq/ To me that reads like a built in suicide card; something that eventually kills Daggerheart in the community. People get very loyal to their chosen platform and if they insist on only allowing one choice, that will take the...

Detective style mystery drama. The sort where you investigate a scene and interview witnesses and suspects finding a lot of clues and putting the puzzle together through a mix of said clues and social interactions. The narrative focus where players are expected to fill in scenes, explain what...

It's not so much that for me. Daggerheart is highlighting points of frustration for me in other systems. Where I see something now in Pathfinder that I don't like how we're dealing it, and can point to another approach elsewhere that I much prefer. There's no need to stick to two different...

I was actually impressed by that as I've never seen any tRPG ever credit another for any inspiration or even set of ideas taking whole cloth from another game outside of just having a license on the back page. Maybe that's a new trend, it wasn't a thing back when I was around 20+ years ago, and...
